Reissued and Ready to Ride Again: the 1959 Les Paul Standard Returns

As Epiphone’s Inspired by Gibson Custom range expands, so does your chance to score a seismic slice of 6-string history, with the revamped 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue. Thanks to advances in laser-scanning replication technologies, Epiphone has produced the most historically accurate reproduction of the 1959 Les Paul Standard, at a fraction of the cost of a Gibson Custom equivalent. This Epiphone reissue includes a premium rosewood fretboard, a AAA flame maple top, and a galvanizing pair of USA Custombucker pickups, which Music Bliss sound scholars agree masterfully capture the lauded PAF style of the original axe. With the exacting attention to detail dovetailing into the use of Luxe Bumblebee paper-in-oil capacitors, Epiphone’s history-honoring Inspired by Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue elevates your sonic prowess to ferocious dimensions of time-tested tone and style.
