Epiphone Les Paul 1959 Standard Sunrise Teaburst

Vintage-Inspired Les Paul With Gibson Custombucker Sound!

The Epiphone 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue combines the classic character of a late-'50s Les Paul with modern manufacturing standards and appointments that stay close to the historic original. With a mahogany body, carved maple top, AAA flame maple veneer and two Gibson Custombucker humbuckers, this electric guitar delivers the warm, powerful yet open tone the Les Paul has been prized for for decades.

Classic Les Paul Construction

The mahogany body forms the tonal foundation for long sustain, strong mids and a solid presence in the band mix. The carved maple top adds definition and response, while the AAA flame maple veneer provides the premium look. Thanks to the traditional Les Paul shape, the guitar sits comfortably against the body and delivers the playing feel many guitarists associate with blues, classic rock, hard rock, studio work and expressive lead tones.

Set Mahogany Neck With Long Tenon

The one-piece mahogany neck is set in and fitted with a long tenon. This construction promotes a stable transfer of vibration between neck and body and contributes to a sustain-rich, resonant core tone. The 1959 Rounded Medium C profile feels beefier than modern slim profiles and offers a substantial hand grip without sacrificing playability. The rosewood fretboard with a 12" radius, 22 medium-jumbo frets and mother-of-pearl trapezoid inlays underscores the classic character and allows clean bends, chord work and melodic soloing.

Gibson Custombucker Pickups for Authentic Humbucker Sounds

The two Gibson Custombucker humbuckers are voiced for an open, dynamic PAF-inspired tone. They respond sensitively to pick attack, the volume controls and playing dynamics, delivering everything from clear, bell-like neck pickup tones to singing leads and chunky crunch riffs—covering many classic Les Paul tonal colors. The wiring with a 3-way Switchcraft switch, CTS pots and paper-in-oil capacitors provides a high-quality platform for finely controllable sounds right on the guitar.

Historical Details and Reliable Hardware

Equipped with an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, Gibson Historic Reissue aluminum stop-bar tailpiece and Epiphone Deluxe tuners with keystone buttons, the guitar is traditionally and practically appointed. The nickel hardware suits the vintage aesthetic and complements the authentic look. A Graph Tech nut supports tuning stability and clean string guidance, while the classic control layout with 2x volume and 2x tone gives familiar access to all essential tonal nuances.

For Stage, Studio and Collection

This Epiphone is aimed at players seeking a Les Paul with historically oriented construction, high-quality electronics and professional appointments. It's equally suited to bluesy dynamics, singing rock solos, powerful rhythm work and warm studio cleans. The included hardshell case protects the instrument during transport and makes the guitar ready for rehearsal, stage and sessions.
