The Gibson Les Paul Tribute 2018 Satin Gold is a 6-string electric guitar featuring a maple top, a mahogany body and neck, a rosewood fingerboard and a satin gold finish. This new Les Paul Tribute for 2018 offers an incredible access to the upper frets with a smooth construction for a comfortable performance. Built with a mahogany body topped with plain maple, this Les Paul Tribute features a slim taper mahogany neck and smooth rosewood fingerboard for a comfortable profile, enhanced natural characteristics, sparkling highs, and an open midrange.
A set of 490R and 498T humbucker pickups are included that are designed to recreate the tone of the classic Gibson PAF pickups, thereby producing a rich, vintage tone suitable for a wide variety of music. Both models deliver a moderately high output, with the 498T ideal for rock and metal, enhancing the natural sustain and resonance of the lightweight body. Independent tone and volume controls provide players with excellent tone shaping, while the toggle switch provides versatile tonal options. An aluminium Tune-O-Matic bridge and separate stop bar tailpiece offer solid string stability and enhanced sustain, whilst a Tektoid nut enhances harmonics in the highs and mids.
