So much so, that the 2020 models share 90% of their DNA and features with the original 1959 models! Your basic Gibson Les Paul in any store hasn’t changed much in 60 years. These fetch for upwards of $100,000 for a “okay” condition model!ġ959 marked the first year that we ever saw what we know as a modern Les Paul. These guitars are collector’s items because they are a piece of history, but also because of their legendary design. The most sought-after Les Paul models on the planet are from the 1959 series. The most coveted of all Les Paul models is the 1959 Custom, and this year you can get the most affordable model ever. The burstbuckers 2&3 work well in this instrument.An Epiphone ’59 Les Paul? Epiphone seems to have all kinds of spectacular announcements this year. It sounds like my other gibby LP's, and actually plays better than all of them. It is slightly bigger (rounder) than my other LP's, but it feels VERY comfortable. The neck is more a "D" shape than anything else, which I prefer. The neck was the only thing that was in perfect setup when it arrived. I lowered the action lower than any other LP I have with absolutly no buzz.
Get a good setup done by a pro.Īfter setting this guitar up' date=' it is a beauty. The neck pickup was not even screwed into the mounting ring! The bridge was too high. How in the world can they say that this guitar was set up in the USA. Here's my review: The guitar is beautiful. The pink lining is VERY bright and the brown Faux leather looks cool too. Hmmmmm?Īnybody know why? Is this just a special prefix from QD? Here's my ? Why does the serial # start with an "F"?įrom everything I've read, none of which came from epiphone, this guitar is supposed to be made in QD. The fit and finish is top notch in the "Iced tea" color. The burstbuckers 2&3 work well in this instrument.
