bluesguitar65 Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Is it true? Gibson will be announcing a Les Paul Studio 60s Tribute? Same colors as the 50s tribute, but with 60s slim neck profile.

I just got an e-mail, yesterday, from my dealer (E.M. Shorts), to let me know there were getting some of these, this coming Monday! Will venture up there, and see what's what. CB
bluesguitar65 Posted January 14, 2011 Author Posted January 14, 2011 Do you know/can you confirm if a Gold Top will be offered? From my understanding, the gold top is one of the colors offered, but I cannot confirm. I got the info from mylespaul forum. http://www.mylespaul.com/forums/gibson-les-pauls/123152-new-namm-gibsons-2011-a.html This is what the poster there gave: Ok kids, you heard it here first. No piccies (yet) but I'm sure someone will oblige. Basic specs for now, I'll edit when I get more details. New stuff for NAMM. Les Paul Standard & Traditional: Now available in Chicago Blue & Wine Red! Not sure if this are solid or translucent colours yet but Gibson is listing them as a 'Plus-Top' so I'm gonna go for at least a translucent on the Wine Red. In the Chicago Blue was a solid colour then I'd just about **** my pants for one. Buckethead Studio: Yep, Mr KFC Family Bucket finally gets an affordable model, same oversized scale as before, not sure of spec yet. Will edit and post more when I can. Les Paul Studio Faded: Can't really explain, looks just like the current model and nothing new as far as I know. I'll recheck ASAP but basically a Studio with Gigbag in Worn Brown & Worn Cherry. Les Paul '60's Tribute: Just like the current '50's Tribute but with a '60's Neck, same colours if I remember. SG '60's Tribute: Like above, BUT IN SG!!! Yep, 2 P90's in a SG Special, similar colours to the above but without the HCSB and a Worn Cherry thrown in. Les Paul & SG Gothic: Yep, they've pulled an All-Black LP & SG model out the parts bin again. This time instead of EMG pickups, they come with Gibson's own GEM pickups (see what they did there?!) Explorer: Some Dean-a-like Silverburst and bound-bodied Explorer. And finally, SG Anniversary 24: Now before you scream "WTF?!!?!?" I don't think this is going to be the big 50th Anniversary Model everyone's waiting for but basically think a 24 Fret SG with single-sided '61 style pickguard, can't remember if it had a Vibrola or not (may have been a Maestro), in a Darker-than-usual Cherry. More to come. __________________

How cool can't that be! : Yea, but unfortunately, the NAMM is not open to the public. You must be in the Music industry to attend. I would be nice if Gibson would give each Gibson Forum Members a pass.......
BigKahune Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 I just got an e-mail, yesterday, from my dealer (E.M. Shorts), to let me know there were getting some of these, this coming Monday! Will venture up there, and see what's what. ... Thanks for the confirmation CB. This is exciting news! B)
charlie brown Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Thanks for the confirmation CB. This is exciting news! B) Sure...It could be "interesting?" I think I'll have to try out the P-90 SG, as well. ;>) CB
BigKahune Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Hey CB - NAMM pics - from this thread on the SG forum by SG FAN - http://forum.gibson.com/index.php?/topic/61723-news-flash-2-new-sg-models-new-for-2011/ 2 new SGs for 2011, a 50th Anniversary 24 fret SG and a 60s tribute special (p90s and small pickguard) I've got major GAS for the 60s tribute BTW Here's some pics. The 50th Anniversary tribute 24 is at the far right. Wicked nice bevels from what I can see. Different varieties of the 60s tribute Special.
chase1410 Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Hey CB - NAMM pics - from this thread on the SG forum by SG FAN - http://forum.gibson.com/index.php?/topic/61723-news-flash-2-new-sg-models-new-for-2011/ the Silverburst Explorer and SG 24 are really giving me some serious GAS issues...
PESIMAX Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 http://www.gak.co.uk/en/gibson-les-paul-studio-worn-p-90-worn-brown/19867 This new studio worn brown and worn cherry p90 has just come into Gak.
LarryUK Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 The 'Studio 60's' is on the Gibson site. Only two colours.
T Bone Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Sure...It could be "interesting?" I think I'll have to try out the P-90 SG, as well. ;>) CB Knew there was a reason I hadn't gotten the SC Classic yet (went in to buy it and came out with the Robot Les Paul Jr. Special on order). Must've been waiting for this SG 60's Tribute! (Better looking tuners, but it'll have to be in worn Cherry...). Nice! Looking for more info/confirmation on the 60's Tribute LP. Hopefully, it won't kill the value of my Gold Top I am still hoarding :D.
Blackflag Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 The 'Studio 60's' is on the Gibson site. Only two colours. Link?
T Bone Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Studio 60's There ya go. That's not them. Gloss finish, Zebra 'Buckers with coil tap, higher price. Nice guitar, but not what's being discussed here.
truetone6 Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 That's not them. Gloss finish, Zebra 'Buckers with coil tap, higher price. Nice guitar, but not what's being discussed here. This is Gibson Les Paul Studio 60s Tribute
T Bone Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 This is Gibson Les Paul Studio 60s Tribute There ya' go. Now, why no official announcement here on the Forum? (Yet...). Thanks for the link!
Blackflag Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Oh, hell yes. I'm in. I like the 60's neck better anyways. I don't have giant meathooks like some of you.
bluesguitar65 Posted January 16, 2011 Author Posted January 16, 2011 IMHO....I predict the Les Paul Studio 60s Tribute will not have the same hype as the previous 50s tribute. I think the SG 60s tribute will have more hype IMHO.
T Bone Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 IMHO....I predict the Les Paul Studio 60s Tribute will not have the same hype as the previous 50s tribute. I think the SG 60s tribute will have more hype IMHO. Agreed. The 60's will be too similar to the 50's, the fervor is nearly over. The SG OTOH is already on my radar. Called my GC Rep, he's looking for info. I'd planned to get the SG Classic, but I think this just may replace that.
Blackflag Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 I think that's right. Everybody who wanted one probably got one - one way or the other. It would be nice if they brought the price down where the other studios are. There's really no reason for this one to be more than that 60's mahogany posted above.
