hi everyone im new here and i bought a gibson les paul tribute heritage cherry but i gonna know how may of each color are because one person say 120 other person 150 etc well i gonna wait for my new toy and for your answered

Wish we could help, but Gibson hasn't released the numbers yet. We simply don't know here in the Forum. A few have posted info, but it has yet to be substantiated, and there are many conflicting stories (in fact Gibson has refuted some themselves).

 

The only word in print from Gibson was in another thread, where it was stated that would be making more than the 96 of each color that had been quoted by a Member here.

 

I'd imagine at some point Gibson will announce the totals, but it looks like it may be after the run is finished. Should be all produced and shipped by some point in December I think.

"In honor of the decade that gave birth to rock and roll Gibson USA is proud to present the acclaimed Les Paul Studio in a unique new package. The new Les Paul Studio ’50s Tribute model embodies the look and tone of the great original Les Pauls from the 1950s, at a price that fits the wallets of today’s hardworking musicians. Ever since its introduction in 1983, the Les Paul Studio model has been enormously popular with players seeking the power and versatility of the original Les Paul Standard in a ready-for-action package, with a price to match. The Les Paul Studio ‘50s Tribute sticks to the script entirely, but its five worn ’50s-style finishes and meaty dual single-coil P-90 pickups give it a look akin to classics from the decade of the Les Paul’s birth, so much so that you’ll be doing a double-take to check it’s not an original 55-year-old Lester!"

Look what I found at craigslist. Looks like a fellow forum member is already selling his/her 50s tribute just days of receiving it.

Maybe he bought 2 and is selling one for a $400 profit. Might work,I just did an Ebay "completed auction search" for '50s Trib Goldtops and here are the results for sold items:

 

1 @ $1799

 

1 @ $1299

 

1 @ $1274

 

3 @ $1199

Great Idea! I will make a demo comparing the 50s tribute and my Les Paul Special with p90s. Stay tune.....may upload by mid next week.

Great! Looking forward. I'd like to hear something with just a touch of some tube distortion on the Class 5 dialed at 3 or 4 on volume and full on with Treb, Mid, Bass. Just my request.

I just came back from GC in Nashville and they have one in black, I did not care for the neck profile at all, more of a D carve, the one I tried in Memphis at the Gibson showcase was nicer to me witha C carve.

 

I can't believe all the hype surrounding this guitar which seems to be mainly based on a few of the selected colors available and that people are paying such high prices for GoldTops on eBay when you can get a proper finish used Deluxe for that money, hell maybe even an R6 and both are miles away from these 50's Tributes. Definitely a case of "To each its own".

Personally, I don't think buying a used guitar is smart, especially when you're talking about something with a fixed neck, where the warranty doesn't transfer, and it's over a thousand dollars. Just my opinion, though.

Yeah, it sure seems like some folk's perspective has gotten a bit skewed,

to say the least. As nice as they are, they're not CS R-6's. But, for

the folks that have more money, than sense...I suppose, if they want to

spend that much on one, who am I to say otherwise? ;>b LOL
