Gibson Les Paul Studio '50s Tribute Humbucker

Price List Rp.12.500.000
Gibson Les Paul Studio '50s Tribute Humbucker
Released midway through 2010, the Les Paul Studio ’50s Tribute packed the stripped-down appeal of the long-running Studio line in a great ’50s-themed model with P-90 pickups that was a major hit with players everywhere, and sold out quickly as a result. Now the Les Paul Studio ’50s Tribute with Humbuckers from Gibson USA captures the same popular look and feel, updated with the PAF-style humbucking pickups that hit the Les Paul model later that decade. This is sure to be one of the most desirable formats introduced to the Les Paul Studio series since its inception in 1983. Available in great played-in-looking, grain-textured satin nitrocellulose finishes—Satin Ebony, Satin Gold Top with dark back and Satin Vintage Sunburst and Satin Honeyburst with dark back—the Les Paul Studio ’50s Tribute with Humbuckers marries the features of the legendary original Les Paul Standard to the no-nonsense styling of the Studio range. It spares elements like body and fingerboard binding and inlaid logo to bring you significant savings, and has an extremely broad appeal as a result.

A solid, carved maple top and chambered mahogany body give the Les Paul Studio ’50s Tribute with Humbuckers the same tonewood combination that has been helping Les Pauls rock for nearly 60 years, giving you all the tonal depth and richness married to clarity and articulation that has aided in making Les Paul the world’s favorite single-cutaway electric guitar. The guitar’s glued-in neck is crafted from solid quarter-sawn mahogany and carved to a rounded ’50s profile that is superbly comfortable in the hand. It carries a baked maple fingerboard with 22 medium-jumbo frets and a 12-inch radius for easy, choke-free bending. Other period correct details include a 17-degree back-angled headstock for optimum string pressure in the PLEK-cut slots of its Corian nut, and a 1-11/16” width that gives you plenty of room to move around the ’board.

Of course a major part of the appeal of the Les Paul Studio ’50s Tribute with Humbuckers lies in the pickups that help to give it its name, a pair of popular units from Gibson USA’s Modern Classics series. The 490R in the neck position is made with an Alnico II magnet and wound to the specs of original PAF humbuckers, for smooth tones with outstanding note definition. The 498T in the bridge position carries an Alnico V magnet for added punch, and slightly overwound coils for more bite and bluster from the “lead” setting. It’s all anchored in traditional ’50s style, naturally, with a Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece at the body end, and a set of vintage keystone style tuners with green tulip keys up at the headstock. Put it all together, and it’s an enormously appealing Les Paul by any standards, and surprisingly easy on the bank balance.

All guitars come protected in a black Gibson gigbag and include a Gibson owner’s manual. Check one out today at your authorized Gibson dealer, and get a chunk of that fat ’50s mojo in your hands.

    Gibson Les Paul Standard 2008 Gold Top

    Price List Rp.35.900.000
    Gibson Les Paul Standard 2008 Gold Top
    The Gibson 2008 Les Paul Standard features a hand-carved figured maple top with matched chambered mahogany back outlined with single-ply binding.
    The neck is crafted from a single piece of mahogany, making it function as a single unit with the body. Its asymmetrical shape is the most comfortable neck offered on a Les Paul Standard. The BurstBucker Pro humbuckers have Alnico V magnets with windings to deliver an enhanced tone with more bite and brilliance.

    Product Description
    Improving a legend isn't easy, but it's happened. Introducing Gibson USA's 2008 Les Paul Standard--an elegant revision of a true classic, with upgrades and new features that make it the best Les Paul Standard ever produced. Based on consumer feedback and a drive to uphold and enhance the legacy of the Les Paul Standard, Gibson USA's 2008 model sets a new guitar benchmark for excellence and achievement. Play the new 2008 Les Paul Standard from Gibson USA and experience the evolution of the greatest electric guitar of all time.

    New Asymmetrical Neck Profile
    The 2008 Les Paul Standard debuts Gibson's newest neck profile--an asymmetrical design that makes it one of the most comfortable and playable necks ever offered on any guitar. The new ergonomically-correct profile is tapered, and designed to be thicker on the bass side, and thinner on the treble side, closely outlining the natural form of the hand as it grips the neck. The 2008 Standard necks are machined in Gibson's rough mill using wood shapers to make the initial cuts. Once the rosewood fingerboard gets glued on, the rest--including the final sanding--is done by hand. That means there are no two necks with the exact same dimensions. So while it still has the basic characteristics of its respective profile, each neck will be slightly different, with a distinct but traditional feel. 



    Gibson Burstbucker Pro pickups and chrome Tune-o-matic bridge.

    Locking Grover tuners for tuning stability.

    Custom-made, gold-plated potentiometers manufactured by Bourns.
    Chambered Mahogany Body
    Every new 2008 Les Paul Standard will benefit from Gibson's proven chambering technique, which leaves each guitar with perfect tone, balance, and weight. Prior to gluing the maple cap on top of the mahogany body, the expert craftsmen at Gibson USA carve out carefully mapped-out chambers in the body using a Computer Numeric Controlled (CNC) router. The positioning of the routes was established after careful examination of the resonant characteristics of the Les Paul. Gibson approached this process with the awareness that every change to the formula would have repercussions on the instrument's sound. So, in addition to relieving the stress on a player's back and shoulder, these lighter Gibson guitars also enhance the tone palette in a manner unique only to these guitars. The results are comfortable, lightweight guitars that are acoustically louder, with increased sustain and resonance.
     

    TonePros Locking Tune-o-matic Bridge and Locking Stopbar Tailpiece
    The Tune-o-matic bridge was the brainchild of legendary Gibson president Ted McCarty in 1954, setting the standard for simplicity and functionality that has never been bettered. The 2008 Les Paul Standard features TonePros locking Nashville Tune-o-matic in a chrome finish, which has saddle adjustment screws on the pickup side, and pre-notched saddles for quick installation. The chrome locking stopbar tailpiece is also from TonePros. These parts come with locking studs designed to secure both components firmly to the body so that there is no lean, yielding a great union between the strings and body which results in excellent tone and sustain. 


    Pickups: Gibson Burstbucker Pros
    Gibson's drive to recapture the magic of the original "Patent Applied For" humbucker pickups of the 1950s culminated with the introduction of the Burstbucker line in the early 1990s. In 2002, Gibson followed up this innovative accomplishment with yet another breakthrough in pickup design--the Burstbucker Pro, designed specifically for the new Les Paul Standards. The Burstbucker Pro features an Alnico V magnet (instead of the Alnico II), which offers slightly higher output and allows preamps to be driven a little harder to achieve a more natural break-up. Like all Burstbuckers, the Burstbucker Pro has asymmetrical coils--true to the original PAFs--which supply a more open sound. The Burstbucker Pro Neck is wound slightly less than the original PAFs, while the Burstbucker Pro Bridge is slightly overwound for increased output. The Burstbucker Pro pickups are also wax potted to allow loud volume pressures with minimal feedback. 

    Revolutionary Plek Set Up
    The 2008 Les Paul Standard is one of the first models from Gibson USA to utilize the revolutionary Plek machine in setting up the guitar. The Plek is a German-made, computer controlled machine that carefully measures each fret, along with the fingerboard height under each string, and then automatically dresses each fret, virtually eliminating string buzz and greatly improving the overall playability of the guitar. This pioneering process does in minutes what it takes a luthier several hours--sometimes even days--to accomplish. Every fret is accurately aligned, and the guitar is properly intonated, leaving the instrument "Plek'd" and amazingly playable. 

    Locking Neutrik JackNeutrik has been making superior electronic interconnection products since 1975, making them the logical choice to supply the performance safeguarding jack in Gibson's 2008 Les Paul Standard. Like many Neutrik products, the jack in the 2008 Les Paul Standard is manufactured from strong, high-grade thermoplastics and housed in a rugged diecast nickel shell. A retention spring inside the jack ensures optimum grip on any guitar cable, thus avoiding the chance of lost connection. 

    Locking Grover TunersThe 2008 Les Paul Standard is outfitted with locking tuners from Grover, which deliver ease of use through a standard tuner and positive locking mechanism that securely locks each string in place. Simply insert each string through the string hole, turn the dial on the bottom of the tuner to lock the string, and begin tuning. Each string can be tuned to pitch in less than one complete revolution of the post. These Grover machine heads feature completely sealed components with an improved 18:1 tuning ratio. 

    Gold-Plated, Custom-Made Potentiometers by Bourns
    The 2008 Les Paul Standard features all newly designed controls, including custom-made, gold-plated potentiometers manufactured by Bourns, one of the industry's leading makers of guitar electronics. These new potentiometers deliver accuracy and high reliability, while giving the Standard '08 a new level of sonic clarity and intensity never before seen in a Les Paul.


    New Enlarged Neck Tenon
    The 2008 Les Paul Standard sports a revolutionary enlarged neck tenon designed by Gibson's team of pioneering engineers. The expanded neck tenon features an innovative interlocking joint that allows the neck to be dropped into the body from the guitar's top side, as opposed to sliding the neck in from the rim. When the glue is added, a solid unyielding bond is created that maximizes the wood to wood contact between the neck and the body, offering increased stability and superb transfer of vibration for enhanced tone, improved sustain, and superior resonance. It is also the largest neck tenon in the history of the Les Paul.

    • Finish: Gold top
    • Top Species: Carved AA maple
    • Back Species: Mahogany

    Gibson Les Paul-STUDIO AW

    Price List Rp.21.900.000
    Gibson Les Paul-STUDIO AW
    Gibson Les Paul Studio Guitar
    The Gibson Les Paul is a guitar that speaks for itself. Whether in the hands of an able bluesman, a metal shredder, a snaky chordsman, or a pop strummer, the Les Paul has a sound and image immediately identifiable as pure attitude and power. Since the company began churning out mandolins in the late 1800's all the way until today, bearing an instrument with the name Gibson emblazoned on the headstock gives the performer a certain sense of gravitas, and the Les Paul Studio is no exception.

    Gibson Les Paul Studio: Because Sometimes You've Just Gotta Dress It DownThe specs are exactly what you've come to know, expect, and respect from such a fine instrument as a Gibson Les Paul, without any of the frills or flair some guitarists look for in a stage axe.

    Specifications of the Gibson Les Paul Studio
    The Gibson Les Paul Studio guitars feature carved maple caps on mahogany bodies, '59 Les Paul Rounded Mahogany necks, 22 frets on a 24 and 3/4-inch scale length, and pearloid trapezoid inlays. Available in 4 striking finishes, the wine red, fireburst, and ebony Les Paul Studios all feature rosewood fretboards, while the alpine white packs a secret surprise on board. Normally reserved for instruments double in price, the alpine white Les Paul Studio features an ebony fretboard, adding a distinct cutting edge to the tone of an already very able tone machine. The pickups are capable of dishing copious amounts of tone, thanks to the Alnico magnets in the 490R and 498T pickups found in the neck and bridge positions, respectively, controlled by the standard 3-way toggle switch and array of dual volume and tone controls. The guitar ships strung up with Gibson Brite Wires, gauged .010 to .046, in a black reptile pattern hardshell Gibson case, with a dark grey plush interior.

    A Road-Worthy Studio
    Gibson markets this guitar as the instrument of choice for studio cats, but I found it to be perfectly suited to the gigging musician as well. If you fall into one of the following categories, the Les Paul Studio was made for you:
    • You completely dig the Les Paul mojo, but your wallet is a little light
    • You've already got a high-end Les Paul, and need a backup axe that doesn't compromise on tone
    • You've got a high-end Les Paul, but the thought of taking it out on the road breaks you out in a cold sweat
    • You're a seasoned road warrior and you want that killer Les Paul tone without the killer Les Paul weight
