Gibson 2016 Les Paul '50s Tribute T

For players who prefer a more vintage feel, this year’s Les Paul Studio fifties Tribute combines desirable features with an irresistible price.

It packs the prefect combination of a traditional mahogany body with modern weight relief and a grain-textured, satin finish maple top. These time-tested tonewoods with a set mahogany neck produce legendary Les Paul sound and resonance.

The neck sports a rounded fifties neck profile that traditionalists find so inspiring. The fretboard is made of a single piece of thick rosewood for seminal tone. A historically correct neck width and a dense Graph Tech nut make for a familiar feel with improved sustain.

The 490 R neck, and hotter 498 T bridge pickups showcase the full power of alnico magnets, faithfully recreating the experience of the original Patent-Applied-For humbuckers of the day.

Traditional green-key tuners blend vintage appearance with modern performance while an A-B-R adjustable bridge with stopbar tailpiece makes action adjustments and intonation a snap. This year’s Les Paul fifties Tribute T comes with a padded gig bag and is an exceptional value.

This is a very nice Les Paul. Just picked up the gold top yesterday, and can't keep my hands and eyes off her.

[philipm]

to anyone who is not sure about this guitar. get one while you can. epi's are nice i'm sure, but once you play a gibson, youll never go back. aside from my job, i have spent most my evenings playing my les goldtop. ive played so much, i think its time to change my strings.

It looks like Gibson got it right in 2016. I shared a few of my own thoughts and gave a quick overview on the 2016 Studio over on my channel. These "entry-level" Les Pauls are a great value for the price!

[semobowhunters]

so glad they got away from the 2015 crap they made. I have a 2016 Studio Satin T series, and I love it. Can't quit playing it. I think one of these will soon be in my arsenal.

[royitt]

wow im in love with this guitar and the finish is so amaizing but one bad this i just got a strat 2-3 months ago so i can only dream about this lovely guitar....

[THOELL]

had the gold top it's gone back 4 times one bad neck . 2 bad selector switches and one paint defect I really not sure if it's bad luck

[GunsnRosesfan]

I now have GAS for a Les Paul. More specifically this one. Although I might do a pickup swap if I don't like the stock ones.
I'm having trouble deciding which pickups to use the SD PG set, SD Slash set, or the Dimarzio Classic Rock set.

[FullMetalChad]

Thinking about purchasing this guitar, is it worth the $899?

[Incognito_alien]

Wow that's beautiful. And thank goodness Gibson dropped the 2015 crap.

[VincentVincent-eqfz]

Hi very good video i bought this guitare and i really like!!! I have a question what is the name f the rifff you played on guitare??? Or if anybody know ? sorry for my english i m french😀

[aguitarist]

Anyone have a link to an online site that’s in English, can ship to Canada, and still sells this? Thanks!

[MauroGiacometti]

Hi! I have the same guitar but i want to replace the g-force system with traditional tuners...Do you have to suggest replacements without the need to drill holes?

[mywaveinwoodswoodperfumes]

best bending i could ever get is from this guitar, it plays like butter

[vincentgalli]

at 0:25 do they play that riff in every review they do?

[bluesrocker]

This is a 50's tribute, so we're going to change the neck profile, make it lighter, and give it mediocre pickups. I really thought I was going to buy one of these, but after playing both, a Studio Deluxe IV is more than worth being almost twice the price.

[allspub]

1:52 says it's an ABR bridge???? Umm... no it's not. That's a regular Nashville bridge there fellas.

[TheStormtrooperrr]

They should've made it a natural back

[finishin.my.coffee]

One thing about these guitars...if you're expecting the "baseball bat" neck, look elsewhere. They don't have it. Also, the neck pickup leaves a bit to be desired.

[davidallen]

It needs better pickups and none weight relief. then you'd have killer Gibson Les Paul studio.
