Traded in at our Woolloongabba store, very good used condition as pictured and weighs 4.3kg's. This is one of the earlier models with the Tronical Robot Tuners installed as stock, working perfectly.
Gibson's Les Paul '50s Tribute solidbody electric guitar pays homage to that formative decade while giving you incredible playability and comfort, along with the classic growl and bite of P-90 Soapbar pickups. The Les Paul '50s Tribute gives you the classic LP tonewood combo - a mahogany body topped with a maple top, but this axe sports Gibson's traditional weight relief, so you can rock all night in comfort. And playability is top-notch: wrap your hand around the chunky '50s profile neck and you'll feel instantly at home. Play a classic: the Gibson Les Paul '50s Tribute.

The '50s Tribute Les Paul is a star performer. Every recording guitarist should have a P-90- loaded Les Paul in their armoury, because it's one of the most effective tools for tracking rhythm guitar sounds that there is. The combination of muscle and sinew here is timeless, doing the business for anything from '50s rock 'n' roll, through to Keef, alternative rock and pop-punk.
The truly massive potential of the Min-ETune technology notwithstanding, this guitar sounds very good indeed, and with just a touch of careful attention applied to the fretwork, it would be difficult to fault for the price.
But the real talking point here is the Min-ETune functionality. Some players will sneer at the mere idea, of course, but anyone who does a lot of studio recording or uses multiple tunings in a live scenario should check it out without delay.
For once, we find ourselves writing about new guitar technology that just seems to work and doesn't look like a dog's dinner in the process. Bravo Gibson and Tronical.
