The new Les Paul Studio ’60s Tribute model comes with the look and tone of the great original Les Pauls from the 1960s, but at a reasonable price.
Since it’s introduction in 1983 the Les Paul Studio model has been quite popular with guitarists seeking the versatility and power of the original Les Paul Standard in a ready-for-action package, with a price to match.
The Les Paul Studio ’60s Tribute sticks to the script entirely, but its five worn ’50s-style finishes reflect the wear of a well-played guitar and its meaty dual single-coil P-90 pickups give it a look akin to classics from the decade of the Les Paul’s birth. Meanwhile, its fast SlimTaper neck profile reflects the feel of Les Paul Standards from 1960, the year before this legendary solidbody was deleted (temporarily!) from the Gibson lineup.
It comes in a range of finishes with that ‘Worn’ look having a Mahogany body with a Maple Top, Mahogany neck, Rosewood fingerboard with acrylic inlays, and the MSRP is only $1,399.
