Epiphone Limited Edition 1959 Les Paul Standard - Made in collaboration with Gibson Custom Shop

This guitar was new(2021) and damaged in transit,it was untouched until recently - was in the store room of a well known Music Shop that went out of business.

The guitar has had a repair but due to the damage(the headstock was not broken) it seemed appropriate to leave the road worn look as opposed to refinishing the complete neck - it looks cool and authentic given that it has been damaged.

The repair is solid and smooth to the touch.Does not impact the feel or playability of the guitar - gives the guitar a bit of mojo.

The guitar has 2 x USA made Dean Nostalgia Humbuckers,these sounds great and gives the guitar the Slash look,The original pickups were not included when I aquired the guitar.

These pickups were hand wound in the USA and are excellent.

The guitar has been set up and has a fresh set of 9 gauge strings - has a low action.

From the web:

Made in collaboration with the Gibson Custom Shop, this LP offers late-50s-era taste without the eye-watering price tag.
