Les Paul Studio ’60s

Les Paul Studio ’60s
This Les Paul Studio might be identified by its “plain” maple top, but there’s nothing plain about this guitar. The Les Paul Studio ’60s, available exclusively at Guitar Center, has been designed according to the specification of players who’ve demanded a deluxe version of the Les Paul Studio with a thin, tapered ’60s neck profile. The guitar gets its gusto with two uncovered humbucking pickups — the 490R and the Burstbucker Pro — and its beauty thanks to a bookmatched Grade-A maple top, available in either Heritage Cherry Sunburst or Vintage Sunburst.

Les Paul Tribute 1952

Les Paul Tribute 1952
The passing of the incomparable Les Paul in August 2009 broke the hearts of guitar enthusiasts around the world. What can never be broken, though, is the legacy of innovation and creativity that he built during 94 years of constant musicianship. Though the original guitar he designed in 1952 has informed every Gibson guitar since, our engineers were inspired anew to handcraft a guitar just the way Les demanded it nearly 60 years ago. Never before has a Les Paul guitar been so completely designed to Les’ original specifications. Until now. Anchored by a golden mahogany body, maple top and rosewood fingerboard, the Les Paul Tribute 1952 is equipped with an all-new bridge that’s an exact replica of Les’ original 1952 patent. Our luthiers have also added historical interest with details like stamping “prototype” into the back of the peg head and staying true to Les’ preference for P-90 pickups. The Les Paul Tribute 1952 honors the most important figure in all of guitar history and the guitar he designed and loved.
