Gibson Les Paul Special Tribute Humbucker - Ebony Satin
Solidbody Electric Guitar, Mahogany Body, Maple Neck, and Rosewood Fingerboard with 2 Humbucking Pickups. - Ebony Satin
Gibson Les Paul Special Tribute is a brand new version of a classic design. A mahogany body is fitted with 490R or 490T open-coil humbucking pickups to create rich, traditional Gibson tones. Simple and elegant, the vintage deluxe white button tuners are paired with a compensated wraparound tailpiece. The Rounded profile maple neck with a true rosewood fingerboard will ensure comfort and ease of use. This one could be called a "sonic special delivery." You can choose from timeless satin finishes: Worn White, Vintage Cherry, or Ebony.

Classic Slab-body Rocker With Humbuckers

Are you looking to experience the raw sound of rock? Put on the Gibson Les Paul Special Tribute. It delivers exactly that. This Les Paul Special is equipped with Gibson's Modern Classic 490R humbucking pickups and 490T humbucking picks. It has a modern tone profile that is different from the classic, P-90-equipped Specials. Their sound is underpinned by the guitar's mahogany slab body and warm midrange. The iconic Les Paul Special tribute's stripped-down shape and finish will inspire you to create the most raw-sounding riffs whenever you take it out of its case.

Mahogany, Single-Cutaway Slab Bodies

The Les Paul Special Tribute will have everything you need and nothing you don't. The original Les Paul Specials were designed for students. They removed all frills and switched to a more basic approach. This approach made legends like Leslie West, Johnny Thunders, and Bob Marley believe in it.

The Les Paul Tribute

The Les Paul Special Tribute's neck position 490R and bridge position 490T pickups have similar tonal characteristics as Gibson's '57 classic pickup. They deliver vintage humbucker sound with a modern edge that is perfect for all types of music. Alnico II magnets give the pickups a smooth, buttery high end. They also have a bump in their upper midrange that gives them a powerful tone that jumps out of dense mixes.

Plek'd Precision Playability

The Plek processing makes this Gibson Les Paul Special Tribute DC feel fast and precise. This process, usually reserved for high-end custom guitars, levels the frets with pinpoint accuracy, giving you the most usable fretboard possible. The notes sound clear, and each fret edge feels smooth.

The Classic Look and Feel of a Gibson

Gibson gave the Les Paul Special Tribute an exquisite satin nitrocellulose lacquer. The original nitro finishes were much thinner than the polyurethanes of today, which allows the guitar to "breathe." These finishes are vintage and beautiful. This guitar is a classic with all the characteristics of a well-loved Gibson. It will only get better with age.
