2010 Gibson Les Paul 60s Tribute Gold Top SOLD

Gibson Les Paul 1960s Tribute Gold Top 2010 full front view

The Les Paul was one of the very first successful and widely accepted solidbody electric guitars – Leo Fender’s Telecaster being the other. Produced for over 60 years with a number of variations, the Les Paul has been used in pretty much every style of music that allows for amplified instruments.

This 2010 Gibson Les Paul 60s Tribute Gold Top is an example of Gibson’s current efforts to make this versatile design available at an affordable price. Using the same hardware and design principles as more expensive models, the 1960’s Tribute has a thinner lacquer finish and no binding. The chambered mahogany back reduces weight and adds resonance, so the guitar is bright and lively.

If you need a Les Paul (and really – who doesn’t?) this could be an inexpensive way of getting one.
