btoth76 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Hello! Five years ago, - on this day - I have pre-ordered my Gibson Les Paul Studio 50s Tribute. It was my first Gibson (or any guitar) since I stopped playing in 1994. It was a birthday present I gave to myself. How it is now? Excellent! It is a beauty, plays and sounds great! That's for the review, let the pictures speak for themselves. :) ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Nice LP, did you ever condition the fret board? Could be the photos are deceiving too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btoth76 Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 Nice LP, did you ever condition the fret board? Could be the photos are deceiving too? Hello! Yes, I do twice or three times a year. Mostly it was treated with "lemon oil". Recently, I switched over to using raw, pure linseed oil. Cheers... Bence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 she is a beauty Bence. I've had my main LP (95 Standard) for almost 20 years now (Sept of 2016 will mark that anniversary) It's going to be planted with me! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pesh Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 In particular, I love that natural back and the natural top binding +1 to that! Looks awesome. My local still seems to have loads of the Tribute series; might pick one up if they keep lowering the prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Pesh! Don't hesitate to pick up one. At least, to try one. These Tributes with P90s and their chambered bodies are loud guitars with lots of sustain. Mine just rings forever. When I add some Tube Screamer and wah-filter, it's tone is divine. It also sounds very jazzy clean with a touch of reverb. Cheers... Bence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the traditional, old P90s - neither the newer coil-tapped, nor the slug ones. Cheers... Bence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I never noticed the natural binding before. I really like that particular model. I like the SG which was in a similar vein also. But in particular I like the GT. Gibson offered a blue sapphire version also which I only seen one. Nevertheless its a very nice LP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazarusvt84 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I Miss my 60s tribute. Looks like ÿou took Virtuouso polish to it for that lovely sheen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btoth76 Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 ...Gibson offered a blue sapphire version... Thank You! The sapphire one is from the gem series: That is an earlier model variation of the Les Paul Studio guitars. Cheers... Bence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pippy Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 She's a looker, Bence; no question! My heartiest congrats on your anniversary and I'll raise a wee glass to you both sharing a great many more! P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vangoghsear Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I've got a 2013 50's Tribute in the vintage burst. Couldn't beat the price and it plays great. I may be wrong, but I think what people are calling the natural binding is the tapered edge side of the maple cap. I like the way it looks too though.

It's indeed a very nice instrument with very strong sound character. :) Cheers... Bence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
