Great 'value' guitar
1 of 2 customers found this review helpful
I had an Epiphone Les Paul which had the thicker neck and Seymour Duncan pickups. It was a Goldtop and heavier. I enjoyed playing it but did not like the neck. When I picked up this LP I loved the much thinner neck and it is 'weight reduced' so really a perfect combination.
I also love the pickups. They give you a nice 'chunky' sound which can be quite 'bell like' with the middle position. It is always a lot of fun to play so I love it!
Yes, the frets were terrible. So I paid $100 and had my guitar tech friend set it all up. He smoothed out the fret edges and set it up in tune and it was perfect! A few years later he fixed the strap button close to the neck which is in a weird position and kept coming undone.
When first buying, I played this alongside a $3300 LP and preferred this sound and playability. I love the wood grain so it is kind of a "natural gold top" and it's cool there is no poker chip to tell me what lead and rhythm mean.
It has certainly increased in price since I got mine, but I think it is a great 'basic' Les Paul. I've never been that excited about the push/pull options for fake single coil because they never sound very good. The Tribute rocks!
Best Gibson Les Paul for $$

In the past I've owned les paul R7 and a traditional gold top. However my humbucker needs aren't as much as playing single coil. But I wanted a humbucker guitar for certain songs on stage and to play around with at home but not a big investment in a gibson custom shop or even a standard. I love how understated the finish is as it fits in nicely next to my journey man relic custom shops and the road worn. Don't want to pretty an LP upstaging my fenders. The maple neck with very thin finish feels great (even better than my custom shops) I think I got lucky with mine as the action is very low and buzz free. The frets are very smooth with no sharp edges. Very light for an LP. All these are bonuses for me. Its a very clear, articulate tone. Its got some brightness to it that has a nice snap, reminiscent to my Fenders. A bonus for me. I think this is the first guitar with a factory setup that I have not had to adjust or have set up at all. I like very low action and usually factory setups aren't good enough for me but this one is.
And 2 bonuses, I got this one right out of the box, so I'm the first to touch it. Beautiful honeyburst finish. Looks almost like a goldtop that faded. And the second bonus, I guess because its Gibson month it was on special for $1,499 instead of $1,599
Found my new love!

A great player's guitar
2 of 2 customers found this review helpful
The guitar is well-constructed with good attention to detail - eg, all the glued seams are tightly set and clean, the finish is even, frets are good all the way up the neck. This particular guitar needed a bit of setup to get the action down a bit without buzzing but that may be a function of its having been a demo.
The pickups are great and highly versatile. The bridge is punchy without being too harsh and the neck has amazing mids. With the tone rolled off a bit the neck gives a great jazz tone.
Features are as advertised - nothing fancy, just your typical LP design and controls. The soft case is nice although the Gibson case candy was a bit of a let-down; there's a cheesy strap that looks and feels like it cost $10.
This is my destination LP - I don't plan on replacing or "upgrading" it as I can't imagine how a more expensive LP could play or sound better.
Really Gibson?

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
