Product Description

The Holy Grail, Within Reach

Here it is. The one you’ve been waiting for. This Epiphone 1959 Les Paul Standard isn’t just another reissue; it’s a direct collaboration with the Gibson Custom Shop, bringing the legendary magic of the most sought-after vintage electric guitar to a price point that feels almost unbelievable. From the authentic ’59 neck profile to the powerhouse Gibson Custombucker pickups, this is as close as you can get to the real deal without selling your car. We’re talking about an instrument that truly captures the spirit, the tone, and the feel of a golden-era classic.

Genuine Gibson Tone

Let’s cut to the chase, the pickups are the heart of the tone. This ’59 is loaded with a pair of genuine, made-in-the-USA Gibson Custombuckers. These are the same pickups you’ll find in Gibson’s highest-end historic reissues, and they deliver that coveted PAF-style voice with stunning accuracy. They have a vocal midrange, glassy highs, and a warm, articulate low end. The electronics are just as serious, with a Switchcraft toggle, CTS pots, and Bumblebee paper-in-oil capacitors. This isn’t just a looker; it’s a tone machine through and through.

Authentic Feel and Finish

The neck is where you’ll really feel the difference. It’s a one-piece mahogany neck carved into the iconic 1959 Rounded Medium C profile, a shape revered for its comfort and substantial feel that’s perfect for both chording and single-note runs. The long neck tenon, a critical detail from the era, enhances sustain and resonance. The body pairs a solid mahogany back with a maple top, capped with a stunning AAA flame maple veneer and finished in a vintage gloss that lets the wood breathe and resonate. Even the headstock is the correct ‘open book’ shape, completing the authentic vibe.

Built for a Lifetime

Every detail here is period-correct and built for performance. You get an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, a Gibson Historic Reissue Aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece, and vintage-style Epiphone Deluxe tuners for rock-solid stability. It even ships in a vintage-style hardshell case with a gorgeous pink interior. This guitar isn’t just an incredible value; it’s a serious instrument ready for the stage, the studio, and a lifetime of playing.

Anatomy of a Tone Machine

Perfect for: Classic Rock • Blues • Hard Rock • Southern Rock

Tone

The bridge pickup delivers classic PAF bite and clarity, cutting through a mix with rich harmonics and a tight low end.
The neck pickup is warm, vocal, and buttery, perfect for smooth lead lines and full-bodied rhythm tones.
In the middle position, you get a beautiful, open 'quack' with exceptional articulation and a chimey character.
Responds beautifully to your pick attack; dig in for aggressive grit or play softly for clean, bell-like tones.

Playing Feel

A solid, resonant feel typical of a Les Paul, with a balance that feels substantial and ready for business.
The '59 Rounded Medium C neck profile is a dream, filling the hand comfortably without being too bulky.
The guitar feels alive in your hands, with string vibrations resonating strongly through the body and neck.
Effortless playability makes this a guitar you can connect with for hours, whether on stage or in the studio.

Versatility

Excels at everything from sparkling cleans to high-gain crunch, thanks to the dynamic Custombucker pickups.
Takes pedals like a champ. Overdrive, fuzz, and modulation all sound rich and complex.
A studio secret weapon; its articulate and balanced voice sits perfectly in a recorded mix.
Cuts through a live band mix with authority, ensuring your notes are always heard with clarity and power.

The Lowdown

We get it. Buying a guitar you haven’t played is a big decision. You need to know it’s going to feel right, sound right, and inspire you the second you open the case. We put together the questions we’d be asking if we were in your shoes—the real-world stuff that specs alone can’t answer. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, just give us a call.

Yes, they absolutely are. This guitar comes loaded with genuine, made-in-the-USA Gibson Custombucker pickups. It’s one of the key features of the Inspired by Gibson Custom collaboration and a major reason this guitar sounds so incredibly authentic.

The 1959 Rounded Medium C is considered by many to be the holy grail of neck profiles. It’s more substantial than a modern ‘slim taper’ neck, offering a comfortable handful that supports your playing, but it’s not as large as some of the early ’50s ‘baseball bat’ necks. It’s a perfect middle ground that feels just right.

Of course. Every guitar gets our full Player-Perfect™ setup, but tell us your preferred string gauge and action at checkout, and we’ll dial it in exactly to your spec before it leaves the shop.

This guitar is covered by our 14-Day Return Policy. If you’re not completely inspired by it, just let us know. We’ll make it right.

Orders ship same day in most cases and arrive within 1-4 business days with free, insured shipping. We’ll get it into your hands as quickly as we can.

Call us at (888) 794-8482. You’ll talk to a real musician who can answer anything you need to know.

Player-Perfect™ Setups

Every guitar we sell is dialed in by seasoned musicians. We obsess over the details—perfect intonation, immaculate fretwork, and ideal action—so your guitar is ready to rip right out of the case. No exceptions.

Advice From Real Players

Call us and you get a fellow musician, not a script. We'll help you compare neck profiles, talk tone, and find the right guitar for you—even if it's not this one. Our reputation is built on honest conversation.
