We're thrilled to announce that the Epiphone inspired by Gibson 1959 Les Paul Standard in Golden Poppy Burst has arrived at the Mooloolaba Music Store. This stunning guitar captures the essence of one of the most legendary models in the history of electric guitars. 

The 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard holds a prominent place as one of the most sought-after and valuable vintage guitars globally. Renowned musicians like Peter Green, Kirk Hammett, and Joe Bonamassa have all embraced its iconic sound and craftsmanship. While the 1959 model shares similarities with the 1960 versions that followed, it stands out with its distinct 1959 Rounded Medium C neck profile, which many players find more comfortable than the SlimTaper neck offered on the 1960 Les Pauls. The Epiphone 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue represents a faithful homage to those rare originals, crafted in collaboration with Gibson Custom. This reissue brings the classic Les Paul aesthetic and sonic experience to players at a price that won’t break the bank. You can expect to find all the beloved features of the vintage model, including a sturdy one-piece mahogany neck with a long neck tenon that enhances stability and sustain, an authentic 1959 Rounded Medium C neck profile, and a beautifully bound rosewood fretboard. The guitar also showcases mother-of-pearl trapezoid inlays, an aged mother-of-pearl Epiphone logo on the headstock, and elegant silkscreening of “Les Paul Model” in gold on the Gibson-style “open book” headstock. Additionally, the side dot position markers are accurately sized and positioned just like those on the original 1959 Les Paul Standards. Its genuine mahogany body is topped with a carved maple cap and a striking AAA flamed maple veneer. The pickup setup consists of two USA Gibson Custombucker humbucking pickups equipped with Alnico 3 magnets, expertly connected to CTS potentiometers, Black Beauty paper-in-oil capacitors, and a Switchcraft selector toggle switch along with a 1/4” output jack. The Vintage Gloss finish enhances the guitar's classic look without appearing excessively worn, complemented by nickel hardware, including the Epiphone Deluxe "Single Ring" Keystone button tuners. Furthermore, this package includes a Brown hardshell case adorned with Inspired by Gibson Custom graphics and a plush pink interior. It’s the ideal choice for those seeking the vintage allure of the iconic 1959 Les Paul Standard without the daunting price tag associated with originals.
