SOLD: 2011 Gibson Les Paul Studio '50s tribute, worn gold top.
What's Hot
This was a special edition commissioned by Thomann in 2010/11, with 490/498 humbuckers instead of the P90s that the regular '50s tribute had. This is from the first batch, and features a
solid rosewood fingerboard, not the laminate or baked-maple of later versions, and it has a light back. Other than that, the spec is as described
on the Gibson page.
The "worn" gold finish actually looks fairly new, just less glossy than a straight goldtop, but probably all the better for that. The body is chambered mahogany with a maple cap, and the guitar weighs around 7lb. Comes in the Gibson gigbag, as pictured. The neck angle is a little steep, so the tailpiece is a little high off the body. Although it wasn't a problem, I've fitted the Faber studs that allow the tailpiece to be more firmly locked to the body. But the original studs will be included, in the gigbag pocket.
Here are a couple of photos, but you can find more
on my photobucket accountThe overall condition is almost perfect: it being a thin nitro finish there are a few tiny, tiny dings - these are in the photos, but good luck spotting them - they really are minute.
Given the rosewood board and the near-perfect condition, I'd like £420 + postage for this beauty.

Thanks for the enquiry. I'm afraid I'm mainly wanting a cash sale as I just need to clear some space. I think the only trade that might interest me would be a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe, especially if it came in tweed.
