    Epiphone 1959 Les Paul The Soul of the 59

    The Soul of the '59

    This isn't just another reissue; it's your gateway to authentic vintage Les Paul character without the six-figure price tag. Every detail has been carefully considered to deliver that coveted '59 sound and feel:

    • USA Gibson Custombucker Pickups: Hand-wired Alnico 3 humbuckers deliver the raw, dynamic PAF tones that defined rock's golden age.
    • Premium Electronics: CTS potentiometers, Bumblebee paper-in-oil capacitors, and Switchcraft hardware ensure signal integrity and vintage authenticity.
    • Mahogany Tonewoods: One-piece mahogany neck with long tenon joint provides exceptional sustain and stability.

    Playability That Honors the Past

    The 1959 Rounded Medium C neck profile is where this guitar truly shines. Unlike the thinner SlimTaper necks found on 1960 models, this beefier profile fills your hand with confidence-inspiring substance that many players prefer for its comfortable grip and enhanced sustain.

    • Bound Rosewood Fretboard: Mother-of-pearl trapezoid inlays and historic-sized side dots placed in vintage-accurate positions.
    • Long Tenon Construction: The one-piece mahogany neck extends deep into the body for rock-solid stability and enhanced sustain.
    • C-Shape Neck Profile: The 1959 Rounded Medium C-shape provides the perfect balance of comfort and vintage authenticity.

    Visual Drama Meets Vintage Class

    This guitar doesn't just sound legendary — it looks the part too. The AAA figured maple veneer top catches light like liquid fire, while the Vintage Gloss finish provides that perfect aged appearance without looking artificially distressed.

    • AAA Figured Maple Finish: Stunning flame patterns create a visual masterpiece that's as captivating as the tone.
    • Gibson Headstock with Wing Blocks: Classic "open book" headstock design with gold "Les Paul Model" silkscreen.
    • Nickel Hardware: Epiphone Deluxe tuners and historic aluminum Stop Bar bridge complete the vintage aesthetic.
    • Lifton-Inspired Case: Brown hardshell case with pink plush lining protects your investment in style.
