    A tribute to the Les Paul that put the hard into rock.

    The Les Paul ’70s Tribute captures the look, feel, and tone of a heavy sounding evolution of this legendary single-cutaway solidbody, the Les Paul of the 1970s. Like many Les Pauls of the era of heavy rock, the Les Paul ’70s Tribute carries a pair of high-output humbucking pickups for unparalleled overdrive tones, along with the characteristic ‘70s neck profile with volute. Gibson’s most acclaimed hardware set ensures smooth playability and offers precise tuning and intonation.

    Built in the image of the world-beating Les Pauls of the 1970s, the Les Paul ’70s Tribute starts with the classic tonewood combination of a mahogany body with solid carved maple top. When paired, these woods offer a tonal depth and complexity unmatched by any single-wood construction, with warmth and richness from the mahogany, and superb clarity and “snap” from the maple, all of which translates to surprising breadth and articulation within the guitar’s scorching amped-up sound.

    The mahogany back is strategically weight relieved to both lighten your load and improve resonance. A solid mahogany neck is glued into the body in Gibson’s time-tested tradition, and carved to a characteristic medium ’70s profile that measures .810” at the 1st fret and .930” at the 12th, with period-correct volute to strengthen the back-angled headstock. It is topped with a genuine rosewood fingerboard that carries 22 medium-jumbo frets and traditional trapezoid inlays. In keeping with the stripped-down ethos of this powerful performer, both body and ’board remain unbound, and there’s no pickguard to obscure the finish. A PLEK-cut nut made from black Corian™ subtly complements the black witch-hat knobs with silver inserts and black pickup rings, while enhancing resonance and sustain. The headstock is silkscreened with a gold Gibson logo and Les Paul Model.

    The Les Paul ’70s Tribute takes its firepower from a pair of Gibson’s mighty Dirty Fingers™ humbucking pickups, a legendary component of ’70s firepower, and among the two hottest pickups that Gibson has ever designed. These scorching humbuckers include powerful ceramic magnets and over-wound coils for a sizzling, sustainful sound that nevertheless remains clear and articulate. The traditional wiring complement of an independent volume and tone control per pickup plus a three-way toggle selector switch allows a broad range of sonic variations.

    To anchor it all down, Gibson USA loads in a Tune-o-Matic bridge and Stopbar tailpiece, with a set of genuine Grover™ kidney button tuners, a hardware set that partners up for solid sustain and precision tuning. Put it all together, and the Les Paul ’70s Tribute presents the perfect celebration of the Les Paul’s advancement into the age of heavy rock, wrapping it all into a great guitar that brings the look, feel, and sound of a high-output humbucker-loaded Les Paul to the hands of players of today.

    Each guitar includes a black Gibson gig bag, owner’s manual and truss-rod wrench.

        Comments about Gibson Les Paul '70s Tribute Electric Guitar:

        bottom line up front: this guitar is awesome.

        i can't make up neat words to describe the sound other than "awesome." (<- i definitely used another word describing how awesome it was, but apparently BA is no longer legit in this PC world we live in.) i could say that it's bright and clean and all that, but aren't all of those qualities relative especially in reference to personal taste?

        anyways, i've been "playing" for 13-ish years and i've generally appreciated most decent guitars i've played. while it doesn't take an expensive guitar to impress me, i'm very unimpressed by cheap guitars or any other equipment that makes playing or screwing around less fun. basically, if you get frustrated and start to neglect an instrument because of the instrument vs your lack of ability, then you need to toss that stuff right into the street. you're not doing yourself or the world any favors by picking it up once every 2 years.

        so, now that i've sort of qualified my point of view, maybe my opinion will be valuable to someone. for someone like me, this is an awesome guitar. i don't ever find myself thinking of how it could be better. i have an ibanez that has a super thin neck and this one is larger, and i find it very comfortable in my hands. i have medium-sized dude hands. and by that, i mean awesome.

        i absolutely love the satin vintage sunburst. i can understand the GT appeal, but this is my guitar. i also conducted an internal study as to which finish was the most awesome (forced to use another word again! but you know what i mean.) and the most appealing. the satin vintage burst was found to be preferable on all accounts.

        i was barely alive in the 70's and have never had a guitar from that decade, so i can't say how tribute-ish it really is for those that were playing then.

        no issues with build or switches or controls. i don't know what strings that came on it, but i haven't replaced them yet, even though i should have when i got it. (does anyone care what strings come with a guitar? basically, you're going to change them out with whatever you play with, right?)
