Few electric guitars occupy the same legendary status as a 1959 Les Paul Standard. Developed in partnership with Gibson Custom, the Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue electric guitar recreates the tone, feel and craftsmanship of one of the most sought-after vintage instruments ever built. A genuine mahogany body, carved maple cap with AAA flamed maple veneer and one-piece mahogany neck establish the classic late-'50s tonal foundation, while a pair of USA Gibson Custombucker humbuckers with Alnico 3 magnets deliver the open, dynamic voice associated with prized original examples. Hand-wired CTS potentiometers, Bumblebee paper-in-oil capacitors, a bound rosewood fingerboard and period-correct appointments further reinforce its vintage-inspired character. Available in multiple finishes, this Inspired by Gibson Custom recreation brings the spirit of a golden-era Les Paul to today's players with remarkable attention to detail.
