Members onelife Posted April 18, 2017 Members Share Posted April 18, 2017 How's the sound? I've always liked the LP Studio which, IMO, is every bit a Les Paul but without the expensive bling. Would you say same about the Tribute which seems like a great value? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you say same about the Tribute which seems like a great value? Yeah,I think it sounds like a Les Paul. I don't mind that it has a satin finish,it feel great! And another nice thing is that It weighs less than 8 lbs. It's the cats meow ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Into Nation Posted April 20, 2017 Members Share Posted April 20, 2017 I think that might be a baked maple board. I have a 2012 Special P90 from that era. I love mine, it's like ebony but a different color. Might be some weird collectable in 100 years, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fuzztone Posted April 20, 2017 Author Members Share Posted April 20, 2017 Thanks! Yes mine has a "baked maple" fretboard. I love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Les Paul Lover Posted April 21, 2017 Members Share Posted April 21, 2017 Excellent!!!! I've had a LP 70s tribute, but with mini humbuckers, and I liked it a lot. Sold it still, but regretted it. It had the same headstock volute too, and lovely baked maple fretboard. It makes me laugh, there was almost a revolution on some forums against those maple fretboard, they feel fantastic to me, and look very nice too. Later on, I spotted a sg 70s tribute for sale not too far..... same colour (heritage cherry Or whatever they call that red), baked maple fretboard, and mini humbuckers..... I scored that one and kept it. Great guitar again. Those faded / satin tribute are fantastic value in terms of playability and tone. The finish will not last a lifetime, but not does it on a standard gloss nitro finish being played about a lot. Again, congrats!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Les Paul Lover Posted April 27, 2017 Members Share Posted April 27, 2017 I meant to say that both the LP and SG I mentioned above are from 2012. Both really great guitars, I was really impressed with them both. Keeping the SG was a very easy (And excellent) decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
