Gold Gibson 50's Tribute Information Wanted:

Inspector #20

Inspector #20

Ambassador of Tone
Fallen Star
Country flag
I bought one new in 2016 and it had a huge hump in the fretboard at the 10th fret and action (as delivered new in the box) was set to .150" to compensate. (there is a thread in this forum about it with all the photos) The neck angle was also too steep. I think I just got a bad one as an isolated case. I am interested to see who has one and what their collective opinions of the guitar are with respect to fit, finish, intonation accuracy and a complete list of problems if any.

I'm kinda half-heartedly looking for one, only if I can find one that doesn't have a laundry list of problems.

Your input form experience is appreciated!!!!

Aggressively looking, aren’t you...;) :cheers:

Starting To Look For One Of These:

I had one and liked it, but it had a humped fretboard and a neck angle that would require resetting. This is a lower end Les Paul, officially known as a 50's Tribute. These have no binding and the backs are spray can black with very rough wood grain visible. These have the 50's style neck...

My Tribute model is a 2018 and I played it against other higher dollar models, and chose it because of the way it sounded, even though there was a scratch on the bottom of,( GC wall hanger) other than that no issues, it still gets played frequently, and I put it in a better case than what came with it, pretty much a glorified gig bag , GC did knock a little off for the scratch, and offered to get me another one, but I liked what I heard and told them no dice, I even held onto it till they brought its (case) the gig bag and case candy.
So I love mine
