A USA-made Les Paul That's Surprisingly Affordable

Grab a guitar with amazing playability with the Gibson Les Paul Studio '70s Tribute solidbody electric guitar! Keeping with the feel of the Les Paul Studio, Gibson opted to omit frivolities such as a bound neck and body. The Les Paul Studio '70s Tribute really is more than the sum of its parts: wide-ranging mini humbucking pickups, minimalist finishing touches, and worn-in feel all merge to make the Les Paul Studio '70s Tribute a great guitar any Les Paul enthusiast would love. It's got classic Les Paul vibe at a price that's down to earth, and from the moment you plug it in for the first time you'll know you've got something special with the Gibson Les Paul Studio '70s Tribute solidbody electric guitar.

Gibson Les Paul Studio '70s Tribute Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • Redesigned Mini Humbucking pickups
  • SlimTaper neck for fast and smooth playability
  • A true American-made Gibson guitar
Redesigned Mini Humbucking pickups

When Gibson reinvented their Mini Humbuckers, they gave guitars like the Les Paul Studio '70s Tribute a wider and more expressive range of tone. Dual steel blades and single Alnico V magnets provide you with more output then Gibson's previous Mini Humbucker design, and yet they still give the Les Paul Studio the vintage chime and open sound you want. And thanks to their calibrated windings, you'll be blown away by how well the Mini Humbucker bridge and neck pickups complement one another.

SlimTaper neck for fast and smooth playability

The Gibson Les Paul Studio '70s Tribute sports a comfortable, fast-action neck with a '60s SlimTaper profile, popular in the '70s as an alternative to fatter necks. Early Gibson guitars had huge, often ungainly necks. By 1960, Gibson had gradually carved down this profile into what became their SlimTaper neck. As your fingers move down this neck, the precisely controlled width-to-thickness ratio of the Les Paul Studio '70s Tribute's SlimTaper neck provides you with a consistent, fast, and comfortable feel. It's no wonder many world-class guitar players consider the SlimTaper Gibson's finest neck.

A true American-made Gibson guitar

The bottom line about this Les Paul Studio '70s Tribute is that it's a real Gibson solidbody electric guitar. Ask anyone, and they'll tell you that the Gibson name still stands for something. American made and built to the standards Gibson has held to - despite rising manufacturing costs - you can feel proud when you pick up your Les Paul Studio '70s Tribute.
