But Epiphone makes it a reality in a real way with this stunning recreation.

Timeless Looks

The Epiphone limited-edition 1959 Les Paul Standard is a striking recreation of the classic through and through. Its mahogany body produces a perfectly balanced sound, while the AAA maple veneer top gives it the image of a collector’s guitar. The rounded C mahogany neck is also comfortable to play while the Indian laurel fretboard produces a lively sound and rich overtones, adding immensely to the guitar’s overall sound.

Classic Les Paul Sound

Equipped with Gibson USA Burstbucker 2 and 3 humbucking pickups, the limited-edition 1959 Les Paul Standard delivers that Les Paul tone that players have loved and appreciated for decades. Since they were introduced in the 1990s, the Gibson Burstbucker pickups have successfully captured subtle variations of true, classic humbucker tone. When overdriven, the Burstbuckers can achieve an incredible distortion with sightly enhanced highs that made the original humbuckers famous. Other features that make this guitar a true Les Paul classic are a Switchcraft selector switch and output jack, CTS pots, '50s-era wiring and Mallory capacitors.
