The Epiphone 1959 Les Paul Standard Outfit delivers the tone you love with added performance. Made in partnership with the Gibson Custom Shop, you'll get enhanced playability from a mahogany body, hand-rolled neck, and era specific electronics.
The 1959 Les Paul gets its signature sound from two BurstBucker pickups. Each humbucker brings classic, vintage tone, characteristic of the golden age of Rock 'n' Roll. Whether you love big chord progressions or lightning-quick riffs, you'll be playing in comfort on a rounded 'C' shape neck. All night long.
A great guitarist deserves the best. That's why the '59 Les Paul comes fully equipped with Deluxe hardware. From the LockTone bridge to the Graphtech nut, every detail has been hand-picked to bring you the best sound possible. And with a hardshell case included, you're ready to take your talent out on the road.
You can’t beat the classics
Epiphone have partnered up with the Gibson Custom Shop to deliver a Les Paul that’s every bit as great as the 59’ original. From its iconic body shape to its hand-rolled neck profile, each element is period specific, giving you the exact feel and tone of the rare vintage classic. Discover huge sustain from a solid mahogany construction. Chosen for its sweet sound, the body minimises cross-talk between the strings, allowing for more clarity, even when driven.
The unmistakable sound of Rock ‘n’ Roll
Some genres never go out of style. With the ’59 Les Paul Standard, you can recapture the magic. Whether you love hard rock, swampy blues, or anything in between, two Burstbucker pickups bring chunky, biting tone to your favourite heavy licks. This is classic 50’s sound with more to offer. The Switchcraft selector offers improved versatility, allowing you to go from deep, thumping timbre to distinct, clear attack at the flick of a switch. Thanks to Mallory capacitors and CTS pots, you get premium tone in every performance.
Play all night long
The Les Paul Standard is sculpted for comfort. From top to bottom, the rounded ‘C’ shape helps you play chord shapes and complex solos - completely pain free. A choice cut of Indian Laurel gives character to your strings, improving sustain and resonance. So when you’re playing with unparalleled tone, you’ll never have to stop for a break.
