Gibson Les Paul Tribute

About the Gibson Les Paul Tribute

The Les Paul Tribute is Gibson's plain, made-in-USA Les Paul: a mahogany body with a carved maple top in a thin satin nitro finish, a set neck, a rosewood board with 22 frets and trapezoid inlays on a 24.75 inch scale, a 1.695 inch nut, two humbuckers and an aluminum Tune-O-Matic with stop bar. There is no binding; the edge of the maple top shows as a light stripe instead. Vintage Deluxe keystone tuners, gold top-hat knobs and a cream pickguard complete it.

The year matters. The 2018 version has an unrelieved mahogany body, a mahogany SlimTaper neck, a Tektoid nut and a 490R with a 498T at the bridge. Most dated 2019 to 2022 examples have Gibson's ultra-modern weight relief, a rounded maple neck, a Graph Tech nut and a 490R with a 490T; Gibson's copy for this version also calls it the Les Paul Studio Tribute. Either way, weighed examples come in at about 7.7 to 8.4 lb (3.5 to 3.8 kg). Some have a one-piece mahogany back.

It ships in a Gibson gig bag or soft case, not a hard case, with paperwork, a truss rod tool or wrenches and the rhythm/treble switch washer packed loose. Finishes are satin Honeyburst, Tobacco Burst and Cherry Sunburst. The satin finish shows handling marks and small dents easily. Locking tuners and swapped pickups are the usual changes, so ask whether the originals come with it.
