Epiphone Les Paul 1959 Standard Royal Teaburst

Vintage-Inspired Les Paul With Gibson Custombucker Sound!

The Epiphone 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue blends the classic character of a late-'50s Les Paul with modern production standards and an appointment level that stays true to the historic original. With a mahogany body, carved maple top, AAA flamed maple veneer and two Gibson Custombucker humbuckers, this electric guitar delivers the warm, powerful yet open tone that players have prized from the Les Paul for decades.

Classic Les Paul Construction

The mahogany body provides 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 flamed maple veneer supplies premium visual appeal. The traditional Les Paul shape sits comfortably against the player and delivers the feel many guitarists expect for blues, classic rock, hard rock, studio work and expressive lead playing.

Glued-In Mahogany Neck With Long Tenon

The one-piece mahogany neck is glued in and finished with a long tenon. This construction promotes a stable transfer of vibration between neck and body and contributes to the instrument's sustaining, resonant core tone. The 1959 Rounded Medium C profile feels chunkier than modern slim profiles and gives a substantial fretting-hand platform without compromising playability. The rosewood fretboard with a 12" radius, 22 medium-jumbo frets and mother-of-pearl trapezoid inlays reinforces the classic character and enables clean bends, solid chord work and melodic soloing.

Gibson Custombucker For Authentic Humbucker Tones

The two Gibson Custombucker humbuckers are voiced for an open, dynamic PAF-inspired tone. They respond sensitively to attack, volume control and playing dynamics, allowing everything from bell-like neck pickup clarity to singing leads and chunky crunch riffs—capturing a wide range of classic Les Paul colors. The wiring with a 3-way switch, CTS pots and paper-in-oil capacitors provides a high-quality platform for finely controllable tones right at the guitar.

Historic 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 both traditionally appointed and road-ready. The nickel hardware complements the vintage aesthetic. A Graph Tech nut helps tuning stability and smooth string guidance, while the classic control layout with 2x Volume and 2x Tone gives familiar access to all key tonal nuances.

For Stage, Studio and Collection

This Epiphone is aimed at players seeking a Les Paul with historically oriented construction, quality electronics and professional appointments. It suits bluesy dynamics, singing rock solos, powerful rhythm work and warm studio cleans equally well. The included hardshell case protects the instrument in transit and makes the guitar ready for rehearsal, stage and session work.
