For those who can’t stop dreaming of a 1959 Les Paul Standard of their own, Epiphone and the Gibson Custom Shop serve up a more affordable version of this classic solid-body guitar from the legendary ’50s. With that said, it’s little wonder that this model features a mahogany body and neck, which have been glued to one another via a stable long-tenon joint. For maximum visual impact, the body has been finished with a layer of AAA figured maple veneer and an aged dark burst-style coating, while the neck has a typical ’59-style C-profile for good measure and then some.
The 1959 Les Paul Standard: Fully Upgraded
To get it ready for any and all modern guitarists, Epiphone and the Gibson Custom Shop have outfitted the 1959 LP Standard with a number of worthwhile upgrades, including a GraphTech Nubone string nut, a LockTone ABR-1 bridge, a LockTone stopbar and Epiphone Deluxe machine heads – in other words, unshakable tuning stability guaranteed. Meanwhile, the two Gibson BurstBuckers on board are muscled up with fierce humbucker sound and supported by genuine CTS pots, a Switchcraft 3-way switch, Mallory condensers and ’50s-style wiring.
