From Epiphone:
“The 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard is one of the worlds most coveted and valuable vintage guitars. It has been embraced by numerous famous players, including Peter Green, Kirk Hammett, and Joe Bonamassa. The 1959 Les Paul Standard is very similar to the 1960 model year that followed it, but with a few differences, most notably, a somewhat beefier 1959 Rounded Medium C neck profile that many players prefer over the thinner SlimTaper profile found on the 1960 Les Paul Standard models. Now, Epiphone is proud to introduce the Epiphone 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue, a beautiful recreation of those rare 1959 Les Paul Standard models. Made in partnership with Gibson Custom, the Epiphone 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue delivers vintage Les Paul looks and performance at an accessible price. All of the classic appointments the 1959 Les Paul Standard model is known and loved for are present here, including a one-piece mahogany neck with a long neck tenon for increased stability and sustain, an authentic 1959 Rounded Medium C neck profile, and a bound rosewood fretboard. It also
features mother-of-pearl trapezoid fretboard inlays, an aged mother-of-pearl Epiphone headstocklogo, and the words Les Paul Model silkscreened in gold on the Gibson-style openbookheadstock. Even the side dot position markers are the same size as on vintage 1959 Les Paul Standard models and are placed in historically accurate locations. The genuine mahogany bodyfeatures a carved maple cap that is topped with a beautiful AAA flamed maple veneer. Theelectronics are first class, with two USA Gibson Custombucker humbucking pickups with Alnico 3magnets that are hand-wired to CTS potentiometers, Bumblebee paper-in-oil capacitors, and aSwitchcraft pickup select or toggle switch and 1/4 output jack. The Vintage Gloss finish gives the guitar a vintage appearance without looking overly aged and is nicely complimented by the
nickel hardware, including the Epiphone Deluxe Single Ring Keystone button tuners. A Brownhardshell case with Inspired by Gibson Custom graphics and a pink plush-lined interior is alsoincluded. This is the perfect Les Paul for players who love the vintage appeal of the classic 1959Les Paul Standard but dont want to mortgage or sell the house to afford one.”
