The spec sheet reads like a top end USA model and the attention to detail here is way above the standard Epiphone production.\u003cbr\u003eNow I agree, these appear to sell for a premium price for a Chinese built Epiphone, until you play, and hear them, at which point everything starts making sense. \u003cbr\u003eThis one is a near mint example and comes with its bespoke \"inspired by Gibson\"hard case.\u003cbr\u003eIf you are local to us, you have to come and try this thing to believe it!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere is the spec from Epiphone...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMade in collaboration with Gibson™ Custom, the Epiphone 1959 Les Paul™ Standard is Epiphone’s incredible recreation of the rare vintage classic, updated to be more authentic and true to the originals than ever.
