Epiphone 1959 Les Paul Standard - Aged Dark Burst 23021526889

This is the first one of these Gibson has sent us. All I can say is....The reviews are right. This is an amazing guitar at $799! I took pictures of it and walked out to the record store part of the shop. Plugged into a Pro JR. Petty was playing on the stereo. I went full Mike Campbell and it sounded wonderful.- James
