The Gibson Les Paul Tribute gives players an affordable take on the classic guitar, capturing the vibe, feel and tonality of the classic guitar whilst also delivering a careful selection of unique appointments.
Staying true to its roots, the Les Paul Tribute features the classic tonewood pairing of a mahogany body with a maple top and finished it with a Satin Nitrocellulose Lacquer. Gibson have treated the body to their Ultra Modern weight relief design which will appeal to players who want the looks and tone of a Les Paul without the weight, which some may struggle with on those long gigs!
The body is married to a solid maple neck (adding to the guitars bite and snappy top end), which has been shaped into a vintage style rounded profile and is topped with a 12" radius rosewood fingerboard. The 24.75" scale, trapezoid inlays, 22 medium jumbo frets and 1.695" (43.05mm) nut width complete the traditional feel and look.
The Les Paul Tribute comes loaded with a pair of powerful humbucker pickups in the form of the 490R and 490T pickups, set with Alnico II magnets. Wired through the traditional 3-way pickup selector switch and a 4 control section (2 x volume, 2 x tone), you have access to a great selection of classic Les Paul tone, full of warmth, power and sustain.
Other appointments include the classic Aluminum Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge with stopbar tailpiece, Gold Top Hat control knobs and a Graph Tech nut.
The package comes complete with a Gibson soft shell case.
