Critic Reviews

“If you’re all about getting as close as possible to period-correct as you can for this price point, then you won’t be disappointed here”: Epiphone Inspired By Gibson Custom 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

The Epiphone 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue is a nod to vintage guitar magic with a smooth playability that shines through its glassy tones. The slim-taper neck and well-balanced pickups deliver classic Les Paul sound, while its period-correct aesthetics make it a great choice for those seeking vintage vibes without the hefty price tag. However, some sharp fret ends and a lack of modern tone versatility slightly mar the experience. For those captivated by the allure of the Les Paul legacy, this reissue makes the dream more accessible, even if it doesn't quite reach Gibson's pinnacle.
