I have been a working musician for over half of my life and have owned numerous guitars, probably pushing 300+ and have had many that I've let go of only to kick myself in the rear for doing so. I recently decided to give a LP Tribute a chance. I don't know about others that have been built in this series, but I feel like this one has been given the OG Gibson love like the builds of the 1990's and before. It literally feels like an old guitar. It plays like an old guitar and it sounds like an old guitar. And don't think by me using the term "old" that I'm being negative about it. On the contrary!! This thing slays and I can't believe I'm even saying that about a modern day Gibson. Upon getting it home I changed strings to Elixer Nanoweb 10-46 and pulled the pickups out and removed the metal covers. Completely opened up the sound of this guitar. I really want to pull out the pcb and put in a wiring harness but it sounds killer now and I HATE the pcb design so I can't believe I'm even praising it. The intonation is perfect and it has the most utmost minimal fret buzz only because I set my guitars up lower than most without the strings becoming spanky sounding. Sustain for days, just as in Spinal Tap. I play everything from Classic Rock to the heaviest of Doom Metal and it's perfect for all of it.Get on the snake. You'll never get off.
