Epiphone 1959 Les Paul Standard - Epiphone Inspired By Gibson Custom

nice I want to try the iced tea burst 😎🎸🦯👍🏽 custom buckers in an Epiphone WOW ✌🏽🕊✈️✝️🎼💙

You really should proof read the text before posting. The text says “first” instead of “burst”. Sort of makes the whole thing seem you don’t really care. Other than that I think the Tokai Loves Rock models are a much better guitar. Better balanced and better tones. Peace ✌🏽

Repeating myself here from another video but here goes...
If Epiphone is going to introduce "Inspired by Gibson" then when are you going to release the original....the Les Paul Standard in Gold Top with cream P90's.
You were 90% of the way there with the JJN Gold Glory, just add in the neck P90 (don't change anything else, especially the neck carve).

Please make at least one in left-handed

Nice move towards a better product overall. It's pricey, yes, but the features are there to match the price tag. Really nice additions technical wise and closer than ever to a real Gibson. I'm a proud owner of a Lazarus and a Bonamassa ES335 from the latest batches and they play and feel just great already, not to mention the 2-piece body and 1-piece neck. People complain about indian laurel, but it's the price to pay (or rather not) compared to a Gibson. Veneer is also a clear disadvantage, but if we're luck enough, we can get a good(ish) veneer on these 59s. It would be great to see an AAAA top like they put in the Lazarus. That looks quite ok and 3D and can fool many people out there.

Still made in china lol

Mate remember when epiphone was the affordable Gibson, we need epiphone for epiphone now

Can't believe they still aren't putting rosewood boards on these more expensive epiphones, kinda kills it for me

Funny how they chose to skip mentioning Indial Laurel fretboard :)

Not indian laurel again… 🤦‍♂

We need bourbon burst!

Even my Zack Wylde Bullseye Epi made in china is of rosewood fretboard. And they are selling this at a ridiculous price. Makings of a garbage company run by idiots who only thinks about making money and not heritage.

The only thing missing is a nitrocellulose finish and a rosewood fretboard. You would be better off purchasing a Gibson Tribute while they are still available.

I thought burst buckers not custombuckers?

Since these guitars are made in China are they chibsons but upgraded ? Asking for a friend

Veneer
No rosewood....

JUST BUY OLD EPI'S PEOPLE!

Even tho this are pricey
Compared to a gibson 59 goes to 6000 to 10000
I say this epi 59 is a steal

I went to McDonalds this morning and ordered a sausage mcmuffin with egg & cheese , hashbrown and coffee . It came to $8.10 .

The only thing that matters isn't to spec.
The distance between bridge and the P.U.'s
People wonder what I'm talking about... Go check string harmonics.
The difference is very much like hitting or missing pinched harmonics.

This case, the bridge is about a bridge thickness too far from the bridge P.U. (and therefore will never sound like the real deal.... Why buy a gibson when you can buy an epi with the exact same specs)

Epiphone, is there a chance that you will start selling original Epiphone custom parts? knobs, truss rod covers, pickups frames and others like in the case of Gibson guitars? It will be a great idea.

And with out epiphone and Les Paul you're GIBSON Les Paul solid body guitar wouldn't exist today today isn't that right Gibson 😁

The Epi 59 is good guitar !! low price good sound

wrong wireing cap or not real humbuckers

Jeff Beck didn't have a burst. He had a stripped and routed converted
Goldtop.

Fender Mexico makes better necks!!!!!

Love it!

i have a real Epiphone Les Paul not inspired by anything

Please please please do a ‘56 gold top of one of these. I’d buy it before the video ended

Can barely see the flame, are you sure it’s AAA?

If yall release a Gold Top with P90s like this, I will RUN to the warehouse.

For $1299, you guys are sure pumping out the most bland looking supposed "flame tops". What a crock

I have tried it in PMT , nice guitar ;)

They gotta make a epiphone inspired by gibson black beauty 57 3 custombucker pickups and bigsby that would be amazing ❤

Gibson Customebucker pickups are the same as the 59 classics ?

I received a iced tea today from zzounds the bridge volume wasn’t working so I contacted zzounds about a replacement volume pot but in the middle of the conversation I realized that this guitar just wasn’t worth $1,299 even if the volume pot wasn’t bad 🫤 I requested a return instead the best part of this guitar was the cheap case 😐 and the pickups are definitely not amazing either !

where could we buy the washed cherry burst? store in our country just could get factory burst.

The asking price is not what anyone wants to see, especially an Epiphone. Problem is, if you look at everything going on in this country (inflation) it’s not surprising anymore. I don’t like spending almost $5 for four sticks of butter but that’s the world we live in now

Laurel on a $1299 guitar? It's time to go with PRS

Where are they made? I didn’t see the “handcrafted in china” sticker on the neck like all of the other Epiphones

Not a fan of the satin finish. A semi gloss would be nicer. The figuring isn't prominent with satin.....looks like a toy.
