Gibson 2011 Les Paul 60s Tribute P90 Version Black / Creme Real Relic 10470
This is a 2011 Gibson Les Paul Tribute in black with aged creme plastics. Real relic looks and has the rare P90 configuration for this model. Features:
— Nitro finished mahogany body w/ maple top
— Mahogany 60s SlimTaper neck
— Rosewood board w/ large inlays
— Iconic soap-bar p90 pickups
These Tribute models feature a chambered body for light weight (7 pounds, 6 ounces!). It’s a Les Paul that won’t break the bank—or your back. What I like about this guitar is it has been played to look nicely worn in but doesn’t look mistreated—it is a true relic. The black/aged creme look is great, add in gold top hat knobs and vintage Kluson-style tuners and it’s a total winner. Frets are in great shape. No case. Details on my setups and packing, as well as manufacturer specs, at bottom of listing. Thanks for looking!

Guitar Setup
Setup includes new strings (9s or 10s depending on what the nut is cut for), overall polish, cleaning any gunk off fingerboard, oiling neck, and polishing frets when necessary. We spray out any pots that are noisy, turn the truss rod (if necessary) and set string height at low-to-medium action depending on string buzz present. Since setup is highly subjective you may need to get it set to your particular needs by your personal luthier. Basses get the same treatment minus the string change. Thanks!
Packing
I use quality boxes, thick bubble wrap, and peanuts to pack guitars. I have a very high rate of successful guitar and bass shipping (meaning few damaged instruments). I have been doing this 15 years and know how to pack well--with or without a hard case. I wrote a detailed story with photos on how I pack a guitar, which you can find on my StillKickinMusic site blog. If you Google "Still Kickin - How to Pack a Guitar" you will find it. Thanks.

Two P-90 pickups for vintage tone
The P-90 pickup produces a clean, bell-like tone that gets crunchy when you really lean into it. You'll love the punchy midrange and solid low end that sets P-90s apart from typical single-coil pickups. Many of the Beatles' biggest hits were recorded using P-90 equipped guitars. But the coolest thing about the P-90 pickup is that once you roll off the highs, you can still get the smoky tones we normally associate with humbuckers.
Minimalist design
Gibson opted to omit frivolities such as a bound neck and body. The Les Paul Special '60s Tribute really is more than the sum of its parts: old-school pickups, premium electrical components, minimalist finishing touches, and worn-in feel all merge to make the Les Paul Special '60s Tribute a great guitar any Les Paul enthusiast would love.
Plek'd for precision playability
This Gibson Les Paul Studio '60s Tribute 2016 T feels fast and precise, thanks in large part to Plek processing. Typically reserved for top-dollar custom guitars, this process levels the frets with pinpoint precision, providing you with the most playable fretboard you're likely to own. Each note rings loud and clear, and the fret edges feel smooth as silk.
