Gibson Burstbucker Pickups Capture the Essence of 1959

The Epiphone 1959 Les Paul Standard comes loaded with Gibson Burstbucker pickups for authentic PAF-style humbucking tone. From warm, rounded lows to articulate mids and singing highs, these pickups recreate the sound of vintage '59 Les Pauls in all their glory. The bridge Burstbucker provides plenty of bite for searing leads and aggressive crunch, while the neck Burstbucker delivers smooth, mellow tones perfect for blues and jazz. With Alnico II magnets and uneven windings, Burstbuckers bring you closer than ever to the powerful, nuanced tone of the late '50s.

Vintage-Style Components Bring Out the Guitar's Voice

To complete the vintage vibe, the Epiphone 1959 Les Paul Standard features '50s wiring with CTS potentiometers and Mallory capacitors. This recreates the original electronics configuration for dynamic, interactive tone shaping compared to modern wiring schemes. Whether you want to fatten up the neck pickup or brighten the bridge pickup, every turn of the volume and tone knobs brings noticeable changes. Vintage-style deluxe Tulip keys provide precise tuning stability. The LockTone tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece anchor strings solidly for rock-solid intonation.
