Gibson announce 60′s tribute models

From the Gibson website…

“Last year, Gibson Guitar released the Les Paul ’50s Tribute, a well-crafted, but inexpensive remake of the classic models of the 1950s. The response to this limited run was overwhelming, making it one of the most sought-after guitars in recent years. Because fan response was so overwhelmingly positive, Gibson is pleased to announce an update to this popular run.

This month, Gibson has begun production on both a Les Paul Studio ’60s Tribute and an SG Special ’60s Tribute. As with the ’50s Tributes, both guitars take their cues from classic historical models, but add a simplicity in design that strips away all pretensions and gives the player a lighter, less-costly, easier-to-play instrument that still retains the elegance of the original designs. Both guitars also feature classic P-90 pickups – Gibson’s first electric pickup, that has withstood every musical trend for the last 60 years and is still a mainstay on stage and in the studio.

Ask your local Gibson dealer now about the Les Paul Studio ’60s Tribute and the SG Special ’60s Tribute. And stay tuned on Gibson.com today, as we unveil the details of these modern classics.”
