What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:

Mahogany body Rich, warm, focused sound; added sustain
P-90 pickups Bright and clear; strong mids, great lows
Gibson G FORCE tuning system Quick, accurate automatic tuning without tone loss

The Les Paul '60s Tribute 2016 HP includes all the essential elements needed to rock in classic style, with its gnarly P-90s and the archetypal combination of a solid carved maple top with chambered mahogany body for tone with the full Les Paul pedigree. While authentic vintage-style finishes present a guitar with the look of a well-played original, and the instrument's unbound body and fingerboard offer tasteful minimalism, the HP version adds the High-Performance line's signature features. An exclusive fast-access heel developed specifically for Gibson USA High Performance lineup allows unparalleled access to the high notes, and when combined with a slim taper neck profile and soloist neck width, results in the fastest playing Les Paul ever made. Titanium metal for the saddles and the adjustable zero-fret nut delivers a bright, crisp tone, while being virtually indestructible and ensuring total, personalized control over the action.

A fast early '60s profile meets Gibson USA's innovative soloist neck width and fast-access heel for unprecedented playability. Gibson's zero-fret titanium nut yields faster action than you've ever experienced, completing a high-quality set up that perfectly blends 21st century performance with an appealing vintage vibe.

A mahogany body and maple top crank out authentic '60s tones via two P-90 pickups made with Alnico magnets and traditional winding techniques for that beloved fat single-coil tone. A titanium nut and titanium bridge saddles allow read more outstanding clarity and sustain.

A thicker one-piece fingerboard with hand-rubbed oil finish, G-Force tuners, genuine mother-of-pearl inlays, improved knobs and plastics, and an exclusive labor-intensive hand-applied process for a tactile satin nitrocellulose finish all add up to superior quality for optimum looks, feel and tone.

Verified Purchaser zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
I was very impressed with the quality of this guitar. A lot of bang for the buck. Pickups sound great. I really like the wider neck. Eliminates the the possibility of the high E coming off the fretboard. The nut seems to have eliminated most of the issues with the G string going out of tune. On the fence about the tuners. Pretty sure I could tune the guitar faster than the robot but it is nice to have the option. Manual tuning is a little harder because of the feel of the machines. I like the feel of the neck joint. All in all I am very happy with this purchase and would highly recommend this guitar.
