If you fancy a 1959 Gibson Les Paul, but don't have half a million in your back pocket, how about this rather lovely special edition from Epiphone.
This one is based on one of JB's '59s a flame top "lemon drop". These are way above the standard Epiphone standards, as they are loaded with all USA Gibson electrics including a burstbucker 2 and 3 pickups, CTS pots, Switchcraft switch and jack, open book headstock and a long tenon neck join. These are also quite a light guitar, given that most Gibson LPs and 9lb and over.

As you can see this one has seen next to no use, the plastic remains on the pick guard and the guitar is immaculate. It comes with its special graphics hard case, COA and case candy.
