EpiphoneInspired by Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard, Iced Tea Burst with Hard Case

Love this guitar! feels good, looks good. pictures don't do justice!

Want a packed out Les Paul with Gibson Custom Shop pickups and specs for way less than a Gibson custom shop because your only fans hasn’t taken off yet, look no further. R9 Gibson Custom Headstock, Vintage Epiphone machine heads that keep tune, hot bright beautiful sounding pickups and electronics that deliver crystal clear tones. The Epiphone/Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul is the guitar. I already own a killer Gibson Les Paul Standard (early 2000s era) and this Epiphone is just as good as my Gibson.

I bought one of these through another place and not Amazon. I bought the Tobacco Burst model. Yes these come with a brown case. I can buy a black one for less money that does the same thing. I think the fade on mine is pretty cheesy looking and the satin finish in no way helps that. I have an Epiphone Les Paul standard that I paid half of what this one costs with the case. This one does not sound in any appreciable way better than that guitar. It certainly does not approximate a real deal 1959 Les Paul. The neck is fatter than the standard Epiphone Les Paul also and though the pickups and electronics are supposed to be better I can't make that out between the two. I have to say that this model has to be one of the latest in Epiphone's gimmicky sales ploys and delivers nothing approximating what it was created to do.

There still are differences between this guitar and a genuine Gibson, but for a fraction of the price, this edition comes as close to a Gibson than any previous product issued by Epiphone. One can argue whether this "breaks" the model for Epiphone guitars ("keep things cheap"), but for the price it really is a great guitar.
