Gibson Les Paul Tribute 2018 Left Handed, Satin Gold

Full Description

The Classic Les Paul Style

The Les Paul Studio features the iconic body style crafted from lightweight mahogany, delivering a stunning guitar with beautifully sweet, warm tonal characteristics. The single-cutaway design provides incredible access to the upper frets, while its smooth construction ensures players receive a comfortable performance. The mahogany is topped with plain maple and finished with the classic goldtop aesthetic, delivering players with a vintage style that is as iconic as the Les Paul.

Slim Taper Mahogany Neck

The Gibson Guitar not only offers a comfortable body, but features a slim tapered neck profile to deliver an incredibly comfortable performance. The mahogany neck provides the ultimate comfort with its slim profile, and allows for fast and comfortable soloing. As well as providing fluid hand flexibility, the mahogany wood helps enhance the natural warmth of the body, creating a high-end saturated in sparkling sweetness and a thick low-end response. The addition of a rosewood fingerboard helps enhance the natural characteristics of the body, adding extra sparkle to the high end and opening up the midrange.

490R & 498T Humbuckers

Incorporating a set of 490R and 498T humbucking pickups designed to recreate the tone of the classic Gibson PAF pickups, the Les Paul Tribute produces a rich, vintage tone suitable for a wide variety of music. Both pickups deliver a moderately high output, with the 498T offering the perfect output for rock and metal, enhancing the natural sustain and resonance of the lightweight body. Independent tone and volume controls provide players with excellent tone shaping, along with the toggle switch for tonal options.

Aluminium Tune-O-Matic Bridge

The Tune-O-Matic bridge offers stability, reliability, a comfortable playing position, and impressive sustain. Adjusting the string action and intonation is extremely simple with a tune-o-matic bridge, as you simply adjust its height with the mounting rods to alter the action, and screw the bridge saddles in or out to achieve perfect intonation. The separate "stop bar" tailpiece is designed to further enhance the connection between the strings and the body, offering greater vibration transfer for an enhanced resonance.

TekToid Nut

The addition of a TekToid graphite nut offers increased harmonics in the middle and upper frequency range, perfect for creating a rich and detailed tone. TekToid Graphite is the best high-tech cure for eliminating undesirable friction within the nut, which can cause tuning problems. It is the ideal choice for a guitar nut, as it has excellent conductive qualities which overall benefit a guitar’s tone and sustain.
