Gibson Les Paul Special '50s Tribute Electric Guitar at a Glance:
Two hot humbucking pickups are ready to rock
Look, when you're talking about a Les Paul, you're talking about that big, fat, smoky humbucker sound. You've got that nice chunky neck in your left hand, and you're grabbing big, fat power chords and soloing all up and down the fingerboard. So Gibson put two huge-sounding humbucking pickups on this baby, with hot alnico magnets - a 490R in the neck position and a 498T in the bridge position. Take it from the Sweetwater crew - this Les Paul has the classic sounds you want and expect from a Gibson.
Select woods for killer tone
The Les Paul Special '50s Tribute body woods present a combination of clarity, definition and treble bite from the maple, and excellent depth and richness from the mahogany, elements found in the classic Les Paul Standard tone. The chambering adds a further dimension, increasing the complexity of this guitar's tone, while also increasing its acoustic volume.
Minimalist design is all you need for great performance
Gibson opted to omit frivolities such as a bound neck and body. The Les Paul Studio '50s Tribute really is more than the sum of its parts: old-school pickups, premium electrical components, minimalist finishing touches, and a worn-in feel all merge to make the Les Paul Studio '50s Tribute a great guitar that any Les Paul enthusiast would love. A limited number is available, and at this incredible price, they won't last long. Call your Sweetwater Sales Engineer today to secure your very own Les Paul Special '50s Tribute.
