An easy-to-play rounded profile on a set-in maple neck with rosewood fingerboard adds a hint of brightness, and the Alnico II 490 humbuckers deliver loads of power and sustain for those classic Les Paul tones. The adhesive used to join neck and body is Franklin Titebond 50, one of the strongest glues on the market today. This Les Paul Tribute is still in overall very good condition, with the original Gibson. Gibson's Les Paul Tribute brings you all the vibe and feel of a traditional Les Paul, in a ultra-modern-weight-relieved mahogany body. The Gibson logo-one of the most globally recognized logos of all time-is silkscreened in gold across the top of the headstock face of the Les Paul Studio ’60s Tribute, with “Les Paul Model” silkscreened along the center of the headstock. Gibson’s traditional truss rod, found in most all of our guitars, is highly responsive to the individual adjustments you’ll want to make to personalize and optimize string action and sustain. An increase in string pressure also means there is no loss of string vibration between the nut and the tuners, which equals better sustain. The Les Paul Studio ’60s Tribute headstock is carefully angled at Gibson’s traditional 17 degrees, which increases pressure on the strings and helps them stay in the nut slots. This time-tested technique has been used for millennia in all the great woodworking arts-from shipbuilding to cabinetry-to create one solid wood unit from two separate sections, and has been proven to yield a stronger neck and body than if the instrument was made from a single piece of wood. Gibson uses what is known as the Mortis & Tenon joint to bind neck to body so that the two pieces form one solid unit. Not only does this help to keep your guitar in tune but it also maintains proper string alignment relative to the fingerboard. When fitting the neck and body together, we take advantage of our precise measuring equipment so that all angles, pitches and alignments maintain a tolerance within. The angled, classical-style peg head and mahogany neck work together to provide exceptional tonal richness and resonance from the neck, with a good string definition and sustain. This neck shape has been a favorite with many players since its arrival on the Les Paul in 1960. The neck on the Les Paul Studio ’60s Tribute is carved to Gibson’s fast yet extremely comfortable SlimTaper™ profile.
