Gibson Les Paul Tribute, Satin Honeyburst (Pre-Owned)

The Gibson Les Paul Tribute takes one of the most celebrated electric guitar designs ever made and pares it back to the things that matter: a proper Les Paul feel, two humbuckers and enough sustain to keep a note orbiting long after lesser guitars have returned to Earth.

Finished in Satin Honeyburst, this example has a particularly attractive, understated appearance, allowing the grain of the maple top to remain visible rather than hiding beneath a heavily polished finish. The mahogany back and neck complete the classic Les Paul recipe, while the rosewood fingerboard carries traditional trapezoid inlays.

Twin uncovered humbuckers are controlled by the familiar Les Paul arrangement of two volume controls, two tone controls and a three-way selector. A Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece complete the business end, while Gibson Deluxe tuners provide suitably traditional appointments up top.

The rear of the headstock is stamped Made in USA and carries serial number 212920403. The guitar shows some light signs of use consistent with a pre-owned instrument, with its satin finish naturally giving it a pleasantly unfussy character. Please study the photographs for the best indication of cosmetic condition.

Supplied with the pictured Gibson padded gig bag.

A cracking working Les Paul for rock, blues, alternative, indie and anything requiring a generous helping of humbucker muscle. No chandeliers, no velvet rope, just the machinery of rock ’n’ roll.
