For players who prefer a more vintage feel, this year’s Les Paul Studio fifties Tribute combines desirable features with an irresistible price.
It packs the prefect combination of a traditional mahogany body with modern weight relief and a grain-textured, satin finish maple top. These time-tested tonewoods with a set mahogany neck produce legendary Les Paul sound and resonance.
The neck sports a rounded fifties neck profile that traditionalists find so inspiring. The fretboard is made of a single piece of thick rosewood for seminal tone. A historically correct neck width and a dense Graph Tech nut make for a familiar feel with improved sustain.
The 490 R neck, and hotter 498 T bridge pickups showcase the full power of alnico magnets, faithfully recreating the experience of the original Patent-Applied-For humbuckers of the day.
Traditional green-key tuners blend vintage appearance with modern performance while an A-B-R adjustable bridge with stopbar tailpiece makes action adjustments and intonation a snap. This year’s Les Paul fifties Tribute T comes with a padded gig bag and is an exceptional value.
