Epiphone 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue Inspired By Gibson, Golden Poppy Burst

Authentic vintage tone and electronics

At the core of this reissue are two Gibson Custombucker humbuckers, designed to capture the character of late-50s Les Paul models. They use Alnico 3 magnets to produce warm lows, clear mids, and smooth highs that respond well to your playing dynamics. The hand-wired control circuit uses CTS potentiometers and paper-in-oil capacitors, helping you shape your tone with accuracy. Whether you roll back the volume or push your amp harder, the response stays consistent and musical, making it easier to dial in classic sounds.

Comfortable 1959 neck profile

The one-piece mahogany neck features a 1959 Rounded Medium C profile, offering a slightly fuller shape compared to slimmer designs. This gives your fretting hand more to hold onto, which many players find improves control during longer sessions. Combined with a rosewood fingerboard and 22 frets, it provides a smooth surface for chords and lead lines. The 24.75" scale length keeps string tension familiar and comfortable, so bends and vibrato feel natural without extra effort.

Classic construction for sustain and stability

A solid mahogany body forms the foundation of the guitar’s tone, delivering warmth and depth. It’s paired with a carved maple cap and AAA flamed maple veneer, adding clarity and visual character. The long neck tenon construction improves stability and helps transfer vibration efficiently through the body. Hardware choices also support this, with an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and aluminium tailpiece working together to maintain tuning and sustain across extended playing sessions.

Vintage details with practical extras

This model includes period-correct touches that reflect the original design, such as trapezoid inlays, cream binding, and nickel hardware. The Epiphone Deluxe tuners with keystone buttons provide reliable tuning while matching the classic look. It’s finished in a Vintage Gloss that gives a subtly aged appearance without feeling worn. A brown hardshell case with a pink interior is included — keeping your guitar protected whether you’re storing it at home or heading out to play.
