Play with the look and tone of the original '60s Les Paul electric. It comes in the classic satin ebony or gold top finish.

Bare-bones design in a powerful package, for lefties! In honor of the final incarnation of the original Les Paul, Gibson USA is proud to present the acclaimed Les Paul Studio in an exciting package. The Les Paul Studio '60s Tribute model embodies the look and tone of the great original Les Pauls from the 1960s, at a price that fits the wallets of today's hardworking musicians.

Ever since its introduction in 1983, the Les Paul Studio model has been enormously popular with players seeking the power and versatility of the original Les Paul Standard in a ready-for-action package, with a price to match. The Les Paul Studio '60s Tribute sticks to the script entirely, but its five worn '50s-style finishes reflect the wear of a well-played guitar and meaty dual single-coil P-90 pickups give it a look akin to classics from the decade of the Les Paul's birth, while it's fast SlimTaper neck profile reflects the feel of Les Paul Standards from 1960, the year before this legendary solidbody was deleted (temporarily!) from the Gibson line up.

The Les Paul Studio '60s Tribute's Worn Gold Top, Worn Honey Burst, Worn Heritage Cherry Sunburst, Worn Ebony, and Worn White finishes nail the appearance of five popular Standard and Custom finishes from 1952-60, while its unbound body and neck and chambered mahogany body with carved maple top keep it in line with the simplicity that thousands of Les Paul Studio players already cherish.

A Nashville Tune-o-matic bridge, stopbar tailpiece and Kluson-style read more tuners keep it all rock-solid and resonant and its gnarly P-90 tone stays true to the Les Paul style. All guitars come protected in a black Gibson gigbag and include a Gibson owner's manual. Check one out today at your authorized Gibson dealer, and get a chunk of that fast and furious '60s mojo in your hands.

Gibson Left-Handed 1960 Tribute Les Paul: Body and Finish

A solid, carved maple top and chambered mahogany body give the Les Paul Studio '60s Tribute the same tonewood combination that has been helping Les Pauls rock for nearly 60 years. Five authentic vintage-style finishes present a guitar with the look of a well played original, while the instrument's unbound body and neck keep it in line with the popular Les Paul Studio line.

Gibson Left-Handed 1960 Tribute Les Paul: Neck and Headstock

The Les Paul Studio '60s Tribute is crafted with a solid quarter-sawn mahogany neck with fast SlimTaper profile, an unbound rosewood fingerboard, and a headstock set at the traditional 17-degree angle for superior transference of vibrational energy--all ingredients of the classic Les Paul Standard of 1960.

Verified Purchaser zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
I was more than satisfied with the quality of this guitar. I had read other reviews talking about how the non Gibson guitars that looked like certain Gibson models didn't perform well or the quality wasn't as good. What impressed me the most is that Gibson did a quality checklist that covered every aspect of this guitar. Each specific item about the guitar was personally checked by a live person and checked off and signed personally by the quality control specialists. The fact that zzounds offered a 12 month payment plan on this guitar was the final deal maker. No other place I know offers this type of payment plan that allows you to pay for your guitar over a specific number of months. This is why I will continue to buy my guitars from zzounds now and in the future.

Musical Background:
