Epiphone 1959 Les Paul Standard Aged Dark Cherry Burst 2021
Here for sale we have an Epiphone 1959 Les Paul Standard in Aged Dark Cherry Burst finish. Made in China in 2021, this guitar was made in collaboration with the Gibson custom shop as a recreation of the legendary '59 Les Paul. Naturally, a set-neck construction is featured, and comprises a Mahogany body with Carved Maple cap and 'AAA' Flame Maple veneer, Mahogany neck and 22 fret Laurel fingerboard. Nickel hardware is fitted including an Epiphone LockTone StopBar tailpiece, upgrade Guyker Roller bridge bridge and Epiphone Deluxe tuning machines with Vintage Tulip keys. A pair of Gibson humbucking pickups are fitted, with a BurstBucker 2 in the neck and BurstBucker 3 in the bridge. These are wired to a 3-way toggle switch and independent volume & tone controls. The Mahogany neck plays very well, with the '50s Vintage profile filling the hand nicely, as would be expected from a '59 Les Paul. Whilst the profile is certainly substantial, it remains slim enough for articulate playing, and with the Satin finish to the rear feels plenty fast enough for lead lines and solos. Traditional appointments and specifications such as the 12" fingerboard radius go a long way to capturing the spirit and vibe of the highly sought after '59 Les Pauls, whilst the Medium Jumbo frets add a level of modern playability for enhanced vibrato and string bending techniques. The pair of Gibson BurstBucker pickups installed in this guitar deliver classic Les Paul tones, with plenty of warmth and character. The BurstBucker pickups were designed by Gibson to capture the nuance and magic of the original PAF pickups, and make use of unbalanced coils with no wax potting to provide a more open and airy tone than most modern pickups. The neck position is particularly warm and creamy, delivering beautiful solo and lead tones with plenty of power to push you to the front of the mix. The BB3 in the bridge is hotter, and drives the front end of an amp into a thick, saturated distortion with ease. The controls use CTS pots with traditional '50s wiring and Mallory capacitors, allowing for comprehensive control of your tone in an authentic and faithful package.
