Guitar being Relisted due to a Non-Paying Bidder. Please do not Bid unless you intend to pay! Thanks!

Chances are if you are looking at this Auction you already know about these and the fact that they were a very limited edition.In fact, the 50s Tribute is virtually impossible to come by now. Try to order one and you'll see what I mean. This one is the very desirable. It has the famed "Orange Drop Capacitors" (See Pic 10)  which produce a dynamic, mellow tone. This is a Feature the 60s Tributes DO NOT HAVE!

THE GUITAR YOU SEE IN THE PICS IS THE ACTUAL GUITAR YOU WILL BE BIDDING ON! 

It is a very near New- Mint condition Guitar. It has minor Scratches on the Rear Control Panel (See Pic 10). The box was opened to inspect the guitar, verified, photographed, played for about 2 hours and then boxed back up. Plays like a dream and has that fantastic Les Paul P-90 tone! It comes with all paperwork (warranty card, inspection card, Owners Manual, etc.) intact along with the Gibson gigbag and the original shipping container. 

****This Guitar has a "Worn" finish, so it has purposely placed small imperfections and wear marks. Specifically, this Guitar has a worn places on the Front and Back Bottom edge and the Front and Back Top edge. Also it has an intentionally Worn area on Back of the Neck (See Pic 7)  placed there by the Factory. It has stategically placed worn marks around the edge of the body. This is all part of the "vintage" processing at the factory. I just wanted everyone to be aware this is the way Gibson USA is making these to give them that Vintage look and feel. You will be well pleased with this Guitar. It is a real Beauty!****

The 1950s Tribute electric guitar consists of a basic Gibson Les Paul chassis with all the essential elements needed to rock, including a tight-grained "bookmatched" maple top that fits snugly on a two-piece mahogany body. This wood combination yields a specific yet versatile tone that many guitarists have come to demand. The one-piece mahogany neck has Gibson's traditional rounded profile, which graces the neck of each Gibson Les Paul Studio 1950s Tribute, emulates the neck shapes of the iconic Les Paul Standards of the late 1950s. Rosewood fingerboards and trapezoid inlays have been a mainstay feature on Gibson Les Paul guitars ever since the model's introduction in the 1950s. The resilience of dense and durable rosewood makes these fingerboards extremely balanced and stable, and gives each chord and note unparalleled clarity and bite. Additionally, the 12-inch radius of the Gibson Les Paul Studio's fingerboard provides smooth note bending capabilities and eliminates "dead" or "choked out" notes. The traditional trapezoid inlays are made of figured acrylic, and offer a classic "pearl" look.

The headstock of the Gibson Les Paul Studio 1950s Tribute is equipped with Grover Kluson style green keys. With a gear ratio of 14:1, these tuners deliver precision tuning in a durable housing that provides maximum protection for the gear and string post. The Gibson Les Paul's Tune-O-Matic bridge, sets a standard for simplicity and functionality that has never been bettered. The Tune-O-Matic provides a firm seating for the strings, allowing the player to adjust and fine-tune the intonation and string height in a matter of minutes.

Both the neck and bridge position pickups are equipped with cream-colored screaming single-coil P-90 pickups. The P-90 was the standard pickup on all Gibson guitars in the late 1940s and into the 1950s and because of its crisp, bright tone it has experienced resurgence in popularity with many of today's modern rockers. These classic Gibson guitar pickups deliver sizzling, slightly gritty midrange roar. You'll find that the P-90s' high output and biting treble has more nuanced harmonic coloring than the typical single-coil pickup.

The Gibson Les Paul Studio 1950s Tribute guitar has a finish that looks a little used, and has a smooth, worn look to it, which lets you see and feel the wood grain's natural beauty. Comes with a durable Gibson gig bag.
