Epiphone 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue 2009 Cherry Sunburst

2009 Epiphone Limited Edition '59 RI in very good condition. Very faithful rendition of the iconic 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard. These are rare and hard to come by, only 1959 were produced in a limited edition.  This guitar is very clean and all original except for upgraded Gotoh Locking Tuners (original tuning machines will be included as well). A few small nicks in the finish that I did my best to capture in the photos. This guitar sounds amazing and sustains very well. Frets are excellent. All electronics function properly. Includes very nice Epiphone hardshell case. Shipping to continental US only, no trade offers please. Limited Edition #335 of 1959.

Epiphone significantly steps it up on this Limited Edition "1959" reissue. True to its heritage, the neck features an authentic, 1950's rounded “D” profile. Often referred to as "the baseball bat", this neck feels beefy yet comfortable in your hands while adding warmth and sustain with its greater mass. Epiphone hand fits this solid mahogany neck into the body with a historically accurate "deep-set" long neck tenon that extends well into the neck pickup cavity creating even  in the old days, Gibson workers wound the bobbins "until they were full." When two coils in a pickup have a different number of turns, that variation puts a little "edge" or "bite" on the classic humbucker sound. That's the sound BurstBuckers™ replicate. The neck pickup is a Burstbucker-2 and is wound in the range of Gibson's '57 Classic. The bridge pickup is a Burstbucker-3 but is slightly over-wound with a hotter output. One listen and you'll think you have a vintage 1959 in your hands!
