Unplayed - New in Box condition
This unplayed 2013 Les Paul ’50s Tribute nails the look, feel, and tone of the Les Paul Model of the early to mid 1950s. Like the first Les Paul guitars, the Les Paul ’50s Tribute carries a pair of screaming P-90 pickups, the fat Gibson single-coil that has been beloved for more than six decades, along with the comfortably rounded neck profile characteristic of that decade. A step up to Gibson’s most acclaimed hardware set improves playability and offers precise tuning and intonation.
The mahogany back is strategically weight relieved to reduce weight and improve resonance. A solid mahogany neck is glued into the body in Gibson’s time-tested tradition, and carved to a comfortably rounded ‘50s profile that measures .818” at the 1st fret and .963” at the 12th. It is topped with a genuine rosewood fingerboard that carries 22 medium-jumbo frets and traditional trapezoid inlays. A PLEK-cut nut made from black Corian subtly complements the black top-hat knobs with silver inserts, while enhancing resonance and sustain. The traditional back-angled headstock is silkscreened with a gold Gibson logo and Les Paul Model and "2013 Model" on back the of headstock.
For serious firepower is a pair of Gibson USA P-90 pickups. The P-90s adhere to the vintage formula which includes genuine Alnico V bar magnets and coils wound with 42-AWG enamel-coated wire for all the growl, snarl, and articulation that has made the originals legendary. The traditional wiring complement of an independent volume and tone control per pickup plus a three-way toggle selector switch allows a broad range of sonic variations.
A Tune-o-Matic bridge and Stopbar tailpiece, with a set of genuine Grover kidney button tuners enable this guitar's solid sustain and precision tuning. Included is a black Gibson gig bag, owner’s manual and truss-rod wrench.
