Gibson Les Paul Studio 50s Tribute Humbucker Electric Guitar with Gig Bag

The Gibson Les Paul Studio 50s Tribute Humbucker is a beautiful tribute to what made the 1950s models so great. It features a perfect marriage of the stripped down charm of the Studio series and all that was great about the 1950s models. This tribute guitar captures the same popular look and feel of the era but features updated PAF-style humbucking pickups that hit the Les Paul model later that decade.

This 1950s guitar has a solid, carved maple top and chambered mahogany body that gives it the same tonewood combination that has been familiar to Les Paul fans for the last 60 years. The 490R in the neck position is made with Alnico II magnet and wound to the same specs of the original PAF humbuckers giving it smooth tones and note definition. It also features the iconic design that's sonically enhanced by the inclusion of a baked maple fingerboard delivering sonic and tactile characteristics of ebony with a traditional and warm brown finish.

The Gibson Les Paul Studio 50s Tribute Humbucker Features

  • Mahogany body with carved Maple top
  • Comfortable Studio 50s rounded neck profile
  • Powerful 490R Alnico II
  • 498T Alnico V humbucking pickups in the neck and bridge
  • Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece
  • Vintage Kluson-style tuners with green tulip keys

Absolutely Love this Guitar! Can't Beat the Value!
Quality
Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
The guitar feels great right out of the box. Superb craftsmanship.
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
Only had it a few weeks, but I have owned Gibson products in the past and they are well worth the money.
Overall
Your general opinion of this product.
I love the Gold finish and exposed pickups. They give it that sharp tone and raw look. I literally cannot put this guitar down!
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
Not too heavy and not too light. Just right. The neck is set low and lightning fast. Simple and versatile controls for any style of music.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
Thick and smooth. Very versatile. Can be used to play anything from Country to Blues to Hardcore Metal
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
Absolutely love the Gold Top finish!
Action
How was the action out of the box?
Couldn't ask for anything better. I'm surprised they made a Gold Top in the studio version. The only difference that I've notice between the Studio and the Standard is the fact that the Studio has exposed pickups (which I think look and sound better anyway) and no binding on the Studio. Could care less about binding. Think it matches the exposed pickups very nicely.

Actually much better than I expected in terms of fit & finish. I knew it would play & sound good but I was prepared to sacrifice looks for price. I didn't have to! It is beautiful.
