Here for sale we have an Epiphone Inspired by Gibson 1959 Les Paul Standard Electric Guitar in Dark Burst finish. Made in China in 2024, this guitar consists of a Mahogany body with a AAA Maple top, a Mahogany neck, and a 22 medium Jumbo fret Rosewood fingerboard. This instrument is equipped with Nickel hardware including a ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, Gibson Historic Reissue Aluminum Stop Bar along with Epiphone Deluxe tuning machines. The Pickups are a pair of Gibson Custombucker humbuckers, these are wired to the standard Les Paul control layout. 

The Mahogany neck sits comfortably in the hand, with the '59 Rounded Medium 'C' profile feeling slender, providing a smooth and articulate playing experience. The Rosewood fingerboard feels pleasant under the fingers and provides a smooth playing surface for the user to explore, along with the 12” radius and Medium Jumbo frets making bending and vibrato techniques a breeze. The familiar lines of the body feel great in the arms offering a true Les Paul experience for a fraction of the price.

The Gibson Custombucker humbucker in the neck position sounds thick and full, with a rich low end great for rhythm tonalities. The middle position provides a punchy, tight midrange great for chordal styles of playing whilst being able to cut through a mix. The Gibson Custombucker humbucker in the bridge position produces a clear and articulate top end, balancing very well with a punchy output, providing a great feel and clarity, allowing the player to achieve a wide variety of tones all at the fingertips.
