The all-new Gibson Les Paul Special Tribute offers players a new take on a classic design. Time-tested P-90 pickups offer up a roaring tone that is undeniably Gibson. Vintage deluxe white button tuners and a compensated wrap-around tailpiece keep things simple and elegant. Comfort and playability will always be on tap thanks to the Rounded profile maple neck and true rosewood fingerboard. You could say that this one is a sonic special delivery.
First introduced in the early 1950s, Gibson's legendary P90 single coil pickup produced a raw powerful tone that helped define the blues and rock and roll in their formative years. Today, the P90's traditional combination of high output and brilliant tone is still considered a favourite among many top musicians. Known by such familiar nicknames as the "Soapbar" and the "Cobalt," the P90 still cuts through any type of music, all while displaying amazing tonal sensitivity for everything from blues and rock to mellow jazz riffs. It's perfect as a vintage replacement, and features vintage, braided two-conductor wiring. It's also fully wax potted to eliminate any chance of unwanted microphonic feedback.
