Name: Gibson Les Paul Tribute Electric Guitar - 2018 - Satin Honey Burst LPTR18FHNH1
SKU: 8000040

The Les Paul Tribute captures the historic character of the legendary Les Paul guitar. Historic Gibson tonewoods, carved top, cream pickguard, vintage-style tuners, trapezoid inlays, and boosted PAF-inspired pickups give this impressive guitar classic looks and sound with an elegant, vintage touch. No weight relief for those players who like to feel the authenticity of history in their hands.

This Les Paul Tribute feels fast and precise. Gibson have utilised state-of-the-art Plek processing typically reserved for top-dollar custom guitars. This process levels the frets with pinpoint accuracy, providing you with the most playable fretboard you’re likely to own. Each note rings loud and clear and the fret edges feel smooth as silk.

Gibson have used the time tested and stage proven combination of mahogany and maple for this Les Paul. The mahogany back provides warmth and sustain while the carved maple top adds a brighter edge to the dark tone of the mahogany. Together these two tonewoods define the recipe for tone that has shaped the sound of rock n’ roll over the years. Best of all is the way that the tone is translated through the humbucking pickups.

This Tribute Les Paul features Gibson’s famous SlimTaper neck profile. Gibson’s most popular neck profile, conforming naturally to the hand for liquid licks up top and crushing riffs down low.

The Les Paul Tribute features 490R (rhythm) and 498T (treble) pickups. These Modern Classic pickups feature tonal characteristics similar to the ’57 Classic, with the addition of a slight increase in the upper mids. The result is a more contemporary humbucking sound with enhanced presence and perfectly suited to today’s high gain amplifiers.
