Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? It was produced to be worn looking. In spite of that I consider it to be very well constructed. Reliability How has it stood up over time? I've only had it a couple of weeks, but I've had other Gibson Les Paul studios so I'm not worried in the least. General Your general opinion of this product. I'm a bit of a minimalist so I really like the no frills approach of this guitar. Kudos for Gibson for offering this Les Paul. I feel it is in NO way inferior to any Les Paul out there. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? I don't like thin necks usually, but this profile works really well for me. The controls are like any other Les Paul. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? I used to play Teles mostly. These pickups seem to lie right in the middle of tele pickups and humbuckers. They're probably a little more rauncy too. And extremely balanced. Rear pickup not too thin, gutsy, while the neck pickup is mellow and laid back. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? As I previously mentioned, these guitars are meant to look a bit aged and worn. I have the honey burst, and I just love to see the grain. And it is very easy to keep clean. Action How was the action out of the box? I bought it used so I set it up to my liking.

It's a little heavier than I'm used, but I'm used to playing an acoustic.... Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Bright and snappy. Pickups seemed pretty warm. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Not as nice as the LP Custom. Wanna give me one!!!???? Hehehehe!!!! Just kidding.... Action How was the action out of the box? Not bad, but I'm going to have it professionally tweeked and tuned for optimum performance.

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Yes. I don't know yet that's why I plan to break it in Reliability How has it stood up over time? Well, let's see after nightly gigs, but it's a Gibson & I'm pretty much sure it will live up to it's name & reputation. General Your general opinion of this product. Great model for a very affordable price to a working musician Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? A little bit heavy & chunky I would say as I'm used to my Strats Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Just right for bluesy tunes Finish How did the stain or paint job look? I like the goldtop finish & quality Action How was the action out of the box? I had to adjust it to my specs

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Reliability How has it stood up over time? General Your general opinion of this product. This is my 3rd lp, others being an epiphone black beauty and another the lp classic of 1999. This one outshines them in all ways. Clear tones, full, good response to pick. Highly recommend. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Action How was the action out of the box?

Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? I wouldn't technically call the sound bright but it is nice. It has more of a raw, mellow sound. The P-90s don't give you quite the depth as the standard Gibson humbuckers but after replacing the bridge pickup I am much happier with the sound. You can't expect a BMW when you paid for a Volkswagen. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? The finish is worn and dull and there are some worn places on the corner. But this was advertised as a tribute model so Gibson wanted to produce a product that looked like you've had it since the 60s. Personally I would have preferred a better finish and let me wear it out instead of buying one that looks like I played it for years. BUT, this is a studio model and is not designed for flash. Action How was the action out of the box? This guitar was about 90% in tune out of the box. As I said earlier, I love the 60s neck. It's so much more comfortable than the 50. The action is good as well. Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? It always seems like you can tell if a guitar is made in the USA or somewhere else. The finish is dull and does have worn corners so if you're looking for a bright, flashy LP then you should look somewhere else. But I bought this guitar for playing and not as a show piece. I can't accurately comment on dependability as I've only had it 3 months. Reliability How has it stood up over time? So far, it's been great. The tuners are awesome and were better than what I was expecting for a lower priced Gibson. General Your general opinion of this product. I purchased this axe about 3 months ago and I fell in love with it as soon as I took it out of the box. I've had LP's but they've all had that chunky 50s neck. This guitar has a nice, slim 60s neck that makes both chording and noting much easier. It comes with the nicest gig bag I've EVER seen but I really prefer a hardshell case for travel. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? This LP feels fast thanks to the 60s neck. I like the control knobs that come with it. They don't feel cheep when you turn them unlike some other brands.

Action How was the action out of the box? Initially thought it was a tiny bit on the high side but after playing it I found it to be just right. It is set up by Gibson utilizing the "PLEK" computer system and intonation was perfect up and down the neck. Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Well made in all aspecs, finish, construction, fret work, etc. Reliability How has it stood up over time? C'mon, it's American made and it's a Gibson, I mean seriously, do you have to ask? General Your general opinion of this product. Bought the worn Honeyburst, the picture doesn't do it justice. Very well made, plays great and intonation great with no modifications. I own several American made Fenders as well and this guitar is second to none. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? The neck is fatter than any of my Fenders but not as fat as my PRS. Feels nice in my hands and not a problem adjusting from any of my other guitars to this. Plays great! Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Awesome tone. See my description above under "sound". Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Looks really nice, the satin, worn, look is done really well and the maple top shows just the right amount of wood grain to accentuate its natural beauty.

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? The shiznit for the price. General Your general opinion of this product. Looks beautiful, sounds Les Paul, the gold top is super hip, no flaws, sustain for days, great price. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? The 60's neck feels like butter, not bulky. A+ Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? You can get many different tones out of this guitar. The P-90's are very articulate yet pure rock n roll. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? amazing, no flaws Action How was the action out of the box? I recorded with mine 2 hours after I pulled it out of the box...ready to go!

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? It's a USA Gibson. What do you expect? Reliability How has it stood up over time? I've only had it for one month. However, seeing that these guitars are on auction sites for $1,000 or more, I think this will be a better investment than a 401k retirement plan! General Your general opinion of this product. When I first heard about these Les Paul's being released, I held my batted breath....'a Gibson Les Paul for under $900.00?' I thought to myself...'No way!' Great tone, nice balanced feel to the guitar, not too heavy so my fretting hand won't go numb after a three hour gig! I'm sold! Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Fret sprout! At least, some of them sprouted. Taking it in next week to file some of them more rounded than they should be. The volumn and tone controls are more responsive than any guitar I have owned. Nice! Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? These P-90 are very nice...I play througth a Crate V-33 head witt a custom built 4 x 12. Nice mids. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? I only wish it was buffed out more. However, over time, I think is will look more relic than it was suppose to look. Action How was the action out of the box? Nice action. Intonation was dead on!

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Overall a great quality guitar. One complaint. The nut was not dressed properly on my guitar when I got it and the guitar wouldn't stay in tune. I dressed the nut with nut files and put some graphite in the slots and now this thing stays in tune for weeks. As soon as you touch this guitar is says Quality. Reliability How has it stood up over time? I'm sure it will be like all my other Gibsons...solid, reliable, and will play and sound great for generations. My grandchildren will be lucky because they will inherit this axe when my time comes. General Your general opinion of this product. This is an incredible guitar...in my opinion, one of Gibson's best. Light weight, great neck feel, excellent fret job and hot P90's. Vintage LP tone in spades plus wicked light weight to boot. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Feels great with the satin finished 60's neck. What could feel better? This is a Les Paul we are talking about. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Warm, raucous, snarly tone out of the bridge P90. Warm, singing, fat tone out of the neck pup. Warm, thick tone when playing on both pups. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Nice paint job. Satin finish. Worn finish. I don't like the worn finish that much. It is like a false phony badge of honor that I have not yet earned with this guitar. The satin finish I dig...just don't see how people could want a worn finish unless they are trying to posture as a false self and pretend that they actually put their time and sweat into the instrument. Action How was the action out of the box? Perfect Action right out of the box. Medium low action

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? The Quality is outstanding,..It's a Gibson!!! It is a very well made guitar, even though it is on the lite side, it doesn't feel like a toy like o many other guitars do. I'm very sure it is a dependable guitar, if it is like anything else that Gibson makes. Reliability How has it stood up over time? It's a Gibson!,... thats a no brainer. The oldest Gibson I own is an L7, bought by my father in 1948, that makes it 63 years old and it's neck is as true as could be asked for. I feel certain that this "60's Tribute model" is going to be just as outstanding of a guitar as that L7. I just bought the Gold Top, but if it being a Gibso it holds true, I am sure that there will be no great issues ( I expect none), that can't be solved by Gibson, after all they do make a great guitar as well as stand by their product!!! General Your general opinion of this product. I have never been so pleased with a guitar as I am with this new "Gibson Gold Top 60's Tribute model"! One of the finest guitars that I have ever owned,... but then, it's a Gibson!!! Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? I am an older musician,... to say that I was at "Woodstock"!!! I have owned other Les Pauls that would tear my neck muscles up if I were to play one all night long (these days). However this "60's Tribute" is very managable,.. feels more like holding an "Gibson SG" than a "Les Paul". The neck is very fast, I have no problem switching from my Tele to the Gold Top and finishing out the night,... it has a great neck!!! I an use to the control pots being set up like on a Gibson, or a Tele., I have no problem working with them, as a matter of fact, it is what I prefer!!! Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? I play a combination of "Rock" and "Blues", with a mixture of "Motown", with a working group "King James and the Verse". So I have quite a veriation of tone that I need at hand. The P90's are warm and "Bluesy" as well as "Crisp and glassy", when need be, and everything in between. The "Gibson 60's Tribute" may not be a one guitar that does all (thats why I own so many), but it and my Tele., are the main stay, work horses in my book. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? The finish is different than on a higher priced Les Paul, but it also has a charm and look of it's own. I have read about an alcohol smell, from some of the reports, but I noticed nothing like that at all with my Gold Top. I am very pleased with the finish especially the way that the back of the neck gets polished and shines after playing it for a while, .... the neck is no problem to,..as you say "Break in". It has a great looking finish for the price. Action How was the action out of the box? The action is fantastic, right out of the box it rocked. I played with it a little (I do my own setups), but saw little if any room for adjustment. I normally use "DR pure nickel/Blues" .009's on my Tele's, but my "60's Tribute" plays best with .010's, I think you could even fudge .011's on it and not tear up your fingers after a nights gig. As I said before, the action is great right out of the box!!!

How was the action out of the box? Ready for the gig. Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Well made and very dependable, Reliability How has it stood up over time? It will be good because these are well made. General Your general opinion of this product. One of the better bang for the buck values out there. Remember, it's a studio not a standard but it has "the feel" and a great neck plus the P-90's sound fine. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Light and comfortable for a Les Paul Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? P-90's are warm but cutting if you want them to be...just crank it. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Good.

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Seems to be ok. I'm counting on Gibson for this catagory. Reliability How has it stood up over time? Gibson quality-should last General Your general opinion of this product. Overall a nice guitar. For the price a playability you cant beat it and its made in the USA! Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Plays good, Smooth and comfortable. Mines a keeper. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Very bright. The P-90's are not a real strong like a humbucker would be. The bridge pickup is a little on the thin sounding side. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Satin finish. Mine is the gold top. Looks good. The back appears to be lightly coated with a satin clear which is fine for me. The neck never gets sticky like the smooth painted finished guitars. I think one of the reasons the body resonates so much is the lack of all the healy layers of paint on the traditional LP's Action How was the action out of the box? Action on mine was a bit high for my taste. I put differnt strings, polished the frets and lowered the action a bit. Now its feels a bit better. Neck was staight as an arrow.

Finish How did the stain or paint job look? The paint on this Les Paul is just a light coat of lacquer or oil. The pores in the wood are not filled and is not sanded and buffed to a high luster which is labor intensive. This is probably what keeps the cost down on this guitar. Action How was the action out of the box? Good action. Should satisfy most players right out of the box. Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Yes. Reliability How has it stood up over time? Just received this guitar and expected it to live up to my other Gibsons which stood the test of time. General Your general opinion of this product. Play as well as any of my expensive Les Pauls. Neck feel great although just a little bit chunkier than my other 60 s necks. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? I like the feel and it seems a little lighter then my other Les Pauls. At first you may feel that the finish on back of the neck is not smooth but after playing it for a month or two you will have probably buff it to a shine. I know this because I did this to my Martin guitar neck. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? I feel the pickup are hot.

Have had it for three months, so far so good? General Your general opinion of this product. Very well made guitar for the money. No binding or bling, but as a solid workhorse guitar, it more than makes up for it. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Very comfortable. Mine is 7.9 lbs and the neck is fast and plays very well for my style. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Neck pickup is round and fat, sings when driven, bridge pickup is raunchy and grinds when driven. Not a first choice for metal, but it is suitable for rock, blues, jazz. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? A satin finish, so not as pretty as a custom shop gibby, but you have to have a tradeoff somewhere at this price point. Action How was the action out of the box? Action was great out of the box. No buzzing and probably lower than I like it to be honest. I play a bit more aggressively than most so I raised it a tad.

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Very well made. No seams or gaps in the neck joint. Inlays are excellent. Reliability How has it stood up over time? Too early to know but Gibsons hold up well. General Your general opinion of this product. This is all Gibson at a working musician's price. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Classic Les Paul. What's not to like? Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? P-90 all the way. Not a traditional single coil, nor HB. Falls right in between. Extreme raunch with more bottom than a F-type single. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? This might be subjective. If you like the worn look, this is awesome. I like the natural maple "stripe". It looks classy like binding. Action How was the action out of the box? Perfect!

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Reliability How has it stood up over time? General Your general opinion of this product. This is a purchase for my grandson. When it arrived I inspected for any obvious defects and none were found. I then plugged and was surprised by the action and playability right out of the box.

Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Slim 60's neck Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Dual P-90's cover it all. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Awesome stain/paint job. The cherry sunburst is awesome because without the gloss shell it is not too bright like most cherry sunburst. Action How was the action out of the box? High and once lowered, buzzed all over the place.

So far it's been doing great, hope that it'll last for years to come. General Your general opinion of this product. The finish looks worn and shows off the natural beauty of the wood. It has great sound even when I tried it on a cheap-o amp. It's an awesome guitar. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? The neck is really easy to wrap around and I can just fly over every inch. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth?

How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? I like the neck - it's fast and buttery - not too heavy nor too thin for my taste. Strings are easily bendable and the tuners seem to be true enough to keep it in tune. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Again, these are P-90s. If you're looking for PAFs or or Burstbuckers, try another model. My experience has been that you either like P-90s or you don't; I do. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? It was pretty good. If you want the sealed plastic coating on the body, this isn't the guitar from you. Your call as to whether the additional cost for same is important to you. Action How was the action out of the box? Good-to-go. No additional setup needed.

How was the action out of the box? A bit high, but easily lowered. No buzzes, dead frets and the intonation was exact. Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?

Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? The P90's have "girth" but don't lose definition. You either LOVE them or you don't. These are the real deal. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? The best "worn" finish I've ever had and that includes the faded Les Paul mahogany and faded SG Special. As smooth as Fender's Highway One series. The Honeyburst is absolutely perfect and the neck and back are to die for.

How did the stain or paint job look? the finish is "warn" so it's very thin. I like the matte type finish and the way the neck feels without a heavy finish on it. Action How was the action out of the box? too hight for my taste... but, action is highly personal, and everyone has their own preference. it was definitely very playable right out of the box.

Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? the 60's slim taper neck feels awesome! the light neck finish allows you to move up and down the neck quickly. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? I am able to get a lot of different tones from this guitar. with a bit of overdrive and using the neck pickup, I can get a big, warm bluesy tone that has a nice bite and isn't too dark. flip to the bridge pickup and you've got a nice, bright rock tone, perfect for classic rock or blues rock. in the neck position with a clean tone, you can get a really warm, mellow jazz tone. in the middle position, using both pickups, you can almost get a hendrix vibe. the only drawback for some will be that there is some noise associated with P-90s.

The back of the neck is very open grained with no sealer. Very rough grain. Has a thin coat of something that smelled more like rubbing oil or shellac. Very raw feel. I would have paid the extra 3-4 hundred bucks to have the neck sealed and a heavier coat of what ever it is to smooth the neck finish. Action How was the action out of the box? Good medium low action

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? 100% Gibson quality. Reliability How has it stood up over time? Just got it but I am sure it will last like all other Gibsons so. General Your general opinion of this product. It's got all the quality of a Gibson LP Standard or Deluxe minus the fancy-looking frills! 100% pure Gibson quality at half (or less) the cost, plus a GREAT 60s slim neck like that found on the SG. What more could you want? Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Great! Slim neck and lighter then other LPs. Lighter then my American standard ash body Strat and Tele. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Thick, fat yet bright P90 sound. No hum to speak of, even in the studio. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Grand slightly worn looking (just slightly though) finish. Action How was the action out of the box? Great right from the factory but I did a setup anyway.
