Epiphone 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue Washed Bourbon Burst

Capturing the magic of a legendary year in guitar history, the Epiphone 1962 ES-335 Reissue brings together the finest elements that made this era so special for musicians. This exceptional instrument combines the resonant qualities of a hollowbody with the feedback resistance of a solidbody, thanks to its semi-hollow 5-ply layered maple/poplar construction and solid maple centerblock. The rounded cutaways and slim 1960s SlimTaper C profile neck provide the authentic feel that made 1962 models so sought after by players across all genres. The attention to detail is remarkable, from the genuine one-piece mahogany neck topped with a rosewood fretboard featuring 22 medium jumbo frets and mother-of-pearl small block inlays, to the historically accurate side dot positioning that matches vintage specifications. The Gibson-style “open book” headstock showcases the Epiphone logo and Gibson Crown in aged mother-of-pearl, while Epiphone Deluxe tuning machines with Double Ring Keystone-style buttons and a Graph Tech nut complete the premium appointments. USA-made Gibson Custombucker humbucker pickups are hand-wired to CTS potentiometers and Black Beauty paper-in-oil capacitors, providing the authentic tonal versatility that has made the ES-335 a favourite among rock, blues, jazz, and country players for decades. The ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and Gibson historic reissue aluminium Stop Bar tailpiece anchor directly into the solid maple centerblock, contributing to outstanding sustain. Available in Sixties Cherry and Vintage Burst finishes with vintage gloss, this reissue includes a vintage-style black hardshell case with plush Goldenrod interior and Inspired by Gibson Custom exterior graphics.
