Thoughts on the new Les Paul Studio 50s Tribute (limited run)

[Guest Gibson Lifestyle]

Hey friends,

 

Just curious if you've seen the new Les Paul Studio 50s Tribute that was introduced on the website last night. Early comments have been flying in and mostly very positive, from look to price. Personally, I'm totally digging the gold top. Early indications are this thing is going to fly out the door.

 

Love to hear your thoughts. Here's the link:

I like Gold Tops, but to be honest, it looks like any other Gold Top Paul with P90s to me.

(Which I guess was the point)

 

Edit to add: Price is what would impress me.

At $699 I would pull the trigger, but I just can't justify it beyond that.

The pictured honeyburst looks great..... Wish there was a ABR1 with a nylon saddle option...... IMO it would add a cool growl to the guitar.

I like it.

 

Will it be available through all authorized Gibson dealers? Or only Guitar Denter?

I put a down payment on a "Gold Top" with my dealer, to guarantee I get one,

of the 2 they had ordered, prior to the flood. I can't wait! Since the earliest LP

Gold Top's didn't have neck binding, anyway...it does seem like a "tribute," to those.

I do wish they had body binding, but the "faux" binding is kinda cool, itself. I think it

will be a nice addition, to what I already own. And, a very welcome relief, from the

"normal" pricing, on Les Pauls Gold-Tops!

 

Sure wish Gibson would bring back the "Les Paul Deluxe" (Gold-Top, especially), at a

decent and reasonable price, too.

Those are really sharp looking, esp. the goldtop and honeyburst. If I could afford/was looking for a P90 guitar right now, one of these would now be at the top of my list.

I think it's really awesome. What's the price on them going to be?

 

This is the first thing I thought of when I saw it on Gibson's home page...

 

 

...and that's a good thing. My only problem now is deciding between a SG Classic with P-90's or one of these new Lesters. Thanks a lot guys!

Wonderful concept, except for the faded finish. I'm not a fan of the fade.

Me neither, but for $806 out the door, I ordered a gold top.

 

Maybe I'll put a shine on it and feel good.
