High-Quality Construction
The Epiphone 1959 Les Paul Standard Outfit features construction that is true to its legendary predecessor. Featuring a figured AAA maple top paired with a full-weight mahogany back, this guitar not only delivers classic Les Paul tone, but also presents a visually striking appearance. The use of these premium woods provides a balanced tonal profile, with the maple top adding brightness and clarity to the warm, resonant qualities of the mahogany.
Authentic ’59 Sound
At the heart of this instrument’s unparalleled sound are the American-made Gibson USA Burstbucker pickups. These pickups were carefully designed to replicate the sought-after tone of the PAF (Patent Applied For) pickups of the late ’50s, giving guitarists the chance to experience the crystal-clear, vintage tones that defined a generation of music. Wired with Mallory 150 polyester film capacitors and CTS pots, this setup offers a warm, smooth response that’s perfect for everything from blues to rock.
Vintage Aesthetics
The Epiphone 1959 Les Paul Standard Outfit’s aged gloss finish gives it an authentic, vintage charm reminiscent of the original models from the late ’50s. This “VOS-like” finish not only enhances the guitar’s visual appeal, but also adds to its overall vibe and playing experience. The meticulous attention to detail extends to the unbeveled plastics and the rear “Custom Shop” Epiphone badge, adding to its historical authenticity.
Uncompromising Quality
Quality hardware is essential for a guitar, not only to sound good, but also to be reliable and durable. The Epiphone 1959 Les Paul Standard Outfit is equipped with top-notch components, including a Tune-o-matic bridge, Epiphone Vintage Deluxe 18:1 tuners, and a Switchcraft toggle and jack. These features ensure years of reliable performance, maintain tuning stability, and facilitate smooth, precise adjustments. For guitarists, this means less time worrying about hardware and more time enjoying the exceptional tone and playability of their instrument.
