Description

1959 Les Paul Standard

Made in partnership with the Gibson™ Custom Shop, the Limited Edition 1959 Les Paul™ Standard is Epiphone's stunning recreation of the rare vintage classic. Featuring a mahogany body with a AAA figured maple top, comfortable 1959 hand-rolled neck profile with long neck tenon, aged gloss finish, Gibson USA BurstBucker™ 2 & 3 humbucking pickups, Switchcraft® selector switch and output jack, CTS® pots, 50s era wiring, Mallory™ capacitors, non-beveled pickguard, new Epiphone Deluxe vintage tuners, and a vintage-style brown hard case. It also comes with an Epiphone Limited Edition metal medallion toggle switch plate and a Certificate of Authenticity. Available in Aged Dark Burst and Aged Dark Cherry Burst.

Wilshire P-90s

From its first appearance in 1959 the Wilshire has been one of Epiphone's most successful original solid body electric guitar designs. The Wilshire P-90 brings back many of the features of the earliest Wilshire models including the symmetrical double-cutaway mahogany body with dual PRO P-90 Soapbar pickups, three on a side reduced sized Kalamazoo headstock with Epiphone Bikini badge and ivory button Epiphone Deluxe tuning machines, and a butterfly tortoise shell pickguard with foil E logo. The Wilshire P-90 comes equipped with a glued-in mahogany neck with a medium C profile, Indian laurel fretboard with 12" radius and 22 medium jumbo frets, 2 volume and 2 tone controls and an Epiphone LockTone™ Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece, and is available in classic Cherry and Ebony finishes.

Extura Prophecy

The Epiphone Prophecy Extura combines the elegance of the Explorer™ with the improved upper fret access of the Futura in an Epiphone exclusive design. Upper fret access is further enhanced by the mahogany neck's modern contoured heel, while the mahogany body is capped with a stunning AAA flame maple veneer and thinner Aged Vintage Gloss "Tiger" finish. The SlimTaper™ asymmetrical mahogany neck features a 24 fret ebony fretboard with jumbo frets, Block and Triangle pearloid/abalone inlays with abalone selected to complement the body finish color, Grover® Locking Rotomatic® tuners, and a black Graph Tech® NuBone® nut. The Extura comes with brushed nickel hardware, and is equipped with a pair of proprietary Fishman® Fluence® pickups with three voicing options that are selected with the push/pull volume and tone controls - high gain, classic humbucker, and hum-free California-style single coil tones are all here. Optional EpiLite™ case available.
