Gibson Les Paul Studio 50s Tribute Humbucker in Satin Gold Top with Dark Back, USED

The Gibson Les Paul Studio 50s Tribute Humbucker in Satin Gold Top with Dark Back is a stripped-down yet classic rendition of the iconic Les Paul. Designed to capture the spirit of the 1950s models, it brings the vintage feel and iconic sound in an affordable and unpretentious package. The satin Gold Top finish, paired with the dark back, evokes the timeless elegance of early Les Pauls, giving the guitar a stunning yet understated aesthetic.

The body of the Les Paul Studio 50s Tribute is crafted from mahogany with a carved maple top, a tried-and-true combination that delivers warmth, sustain, and resonance. The mahogany contributes to the guitar's depth of tone, while the maple top adds brightness and clarity. The rounded '50s neck profile is thicker than modern slim designs, providing a solid, substantial feel in the hand—perfect for players who enjoy the vintage style of a classic Les Paul. The rosewood fingerboard with simple dot inlays offers a smooth playing surface that complements its vintage-inspired look.

This guitar is equipped with a pair of Gibson's 490R and 498T humbucker pickups. These pickups are designed to emulate the classic PAF sound but with a modern edge, delivering a powerful output that remains clear and articulate, whether you're playing clean, bluesy licks or cranking the gain for thick, overdriven rock riffs. The individual volume and tone controls for each pickup, along with a three-way selector switch, offer versatility to shape your sound. Whether you’re playing smooth jazz, classic blues, or hard rock, these pickups provide the tonal foundation to cover it all.

Hardware-wise, the Les Paul Studio 50s Tribute features a Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece, ensuring great sustain and solid intonation, along with vintage-style tuners that contribute to the guitar’s overall retro aesthetic. The stripped-down design—lacking binding and some of the cosmetic extras of higher-end Les Pauls—focuses instead on delivering the essentials: great tone, superb playability, and a classic look. The Gibson Les Paul Studio 50s Tribute Humbucker is perfect for guitarists who love the traditional Les Paul tone and feel, but prefer a guitar that’s all about the sound and playability without unnecessary frills.
