(SOLD) Gibson Les Paul Studio '50s Tribute T Satin Honeyburst 2016
Gibson LP Studio 50s Tribute, honeyburst, made in USA 2016. There's been a few versions of the Studio over the years, this being a more recent take on the genre. It's got the classic LP stuff: set neck, carved maple top, trap inlays, two humbuckers. Being a trimmed down model, it's got no binding and a super thin satin finish, which is a cool look. This one has some play wear, so there's some rub wear and marks around the front and a decent bald patch on the back... gives it some street cred I reckon. The tone is thick and syrupy, with a nice warm midrange and a beefy bottom end. The neck is pretty big: it's a wide, rounded 50s style D shape, so if you like them thick, this one is for you. These fetch a tonne new these days, so this is a relative bargain. "It's just a tribute, you've gotta believe me!"
