Epiphone 1959 Les Paul Standard Tobacco Burst

This is what Epiphone say about the 1959 Les Paul Standard:

Inspired by Gibson™ Custom: More Authentic Than Ever Before

Created in partnership with Gibson™ Custom, the Epiphone 1959 Les Paul™ Standard is a stunning reimagining of the rare vintage original—now more accurate and true to its roots than ever. It features a mahogany body topped with maple and a AAA flame maple veneer, a one-piece mahogany neck with a comfortable ’59 rounded medium C profile, and a long neck tenon. The iconic Gibson-style “open book” R9 headstock and VOS (Vintage Original Sheen) finish add to its vintage appeal.

Equipped with Gibson Custombucker humbuckers, a Switchcraft® selector switch and 1/4" output jack, CTS® potentiometers, 1950s-style wiring, Mallory™ capacitors, and a non-beveled pickguard, this guitar is built for tone and authenticity. Vintage-style Epiphone Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons and a classic brown-and-pink hardshell case complete the package.

Pick one up and experience the sound and feel of a true classic—reinvented for today’s player.
