The Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue Dark Burst delivers the look, feel, and construction details of a late-'50s Les Paul with components selected to closely mirror the original formula. Developed alongside Gibson Custom, it combines premium tonewoods, vintage-inspired electronics, and period-correct appointments for players seeking a traditional Les Paul experience.

A solid mahogany body is paired with a carved maple cap and AAA figured maple veneer, while the one-piece mahogany neck utilizes a long neck tenon for enhanced resonance and stability. USA-made Gibson Custombucker pickups, CTS potentiometers, Bumblebee capacitors, and Switchcraft components complete a thoughtfully spec'd electronics package designed for articulate, dynamic humbucker tones.
