The Gibson Les Paul Studio '60s Tribute Darkback, Satin Vintage Sunburst honours the unique Les Paul from the 1960s, with its fast SlimTaper neck profile and the P-90 pickups. The Les Paul Studio '60s Tribute Darkback is a powerful and versatile performer with a classic look at a great price and looks great in Satin Vintage Sunburst, grain-textured satin finish in genuine nitrocellulose lacquer.
The Les Paul Studio '60s Tribute Darkback starts with the classic tonewood combination of a mahogany body with solid carved maple top. Together, these woods offer outstanding tonal depth and richness. The Les Paul Studio '60s Tribute has a strategic placement of several tone chambers that enhances resonance while also reducing the guitar's overall weight. The glued-in solid-mahogany neck is cut to the superior "quarter-sawn" grain orientation for greater strength and optimum resonance transfer between neck and body. The guitar's Baked Maple fingerboard is topped off with a traditional pickguard and acrylic trapezoidal inlays.
Gibson USA have loaded the Les Paul Studio '60s Tribute Darkback with a pair of P-90s, Gibson's legendary, fat single-coil pickups made with genuine Alnico V magnets. The P-90s are wired through the traditional complement of three-way selector switch and an independent volume and tone control for each pickup, with a high-quality Orange Drop .022uF tone cap on each tone pot. A Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece help to ensure solid sustain and precise intonation, while vintage-style TonePros tuners maintain a traditional look while offering superbly smooth performance.
