Thick Humbucker Sustain With a Fuller 1959-Style Neck Feel
The Epiphone Inspired By Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue in Dark Burst is a Les Paul electric guitar designed for players who want a weighty humbucker voice, strong sustain and a substantial neck feel. The mahogany body gives the guitar a firm midrange foundation, while the maple top with AAA flamed maple veneer adds attack and note separation. Two Gibson Custombucker humbuckers with Alnico 3 magnets provide an open, expressive response for blues, rock and lead playing where pick dynamics matter.
The one-piece mahogany neck uses a 1959 Rounded C Medium profile, giving the fretting hand more shoulder than slimmer modern neck shapes. A rosewood fingerboard, 43 mm (1.69") Graph Tech nut and 628.65 mm (24.75") scale length create familiar Les Paul tension for bending, vibrato and chord work. The ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, historical aluminium tailpiece, CTS potentiometers and paper-in-oil capacitors support direct control from the guitar’s volume and tone knobs.
At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this guitar is best for players who want a traditional Les Paul response with a fuller feeling neck, strong humbucker sustain and detailed onboard control for expressive stage or studio use.
