Gibson FINALLY made an affordable Les Paul! 

The tribute series was great! If you search around there are deals to be had on used Gibsons. It just takes patience. I got a LP tribute on a scratch and dent deal and I love it.

Gibson and affordable don’t go together!! Awesome playing 💯

Sounds great! Nice playing, too.

Have you tried an Epiphone LP Modern? The 2020 models? Those have a ton of value. I played my friend’s - was shocked. The neck shape is really comfortable for a variety of playing styles. Would be cool to stack up your new Gibson against a few Epiphone models, just to see if the Epi’s can hold their own are are better than the “lower end” Gibbies. But yeah, everyone dreams of owning a Gibson. And the kids of tomorrow will want an Epiphone with the way things have changed aged in Epiphone Land. But anyway, I’m glad you picked up a Tribute - people say they’re true workhorses. Great pickup swap too. I would also want the pickups to split. Enjoy! 🤘🏻🎸😎🔊🎶🫨

The Sweet, Sweet Tones of a Gibson, You Rocked it Josh !!!

LP Scale Length is 24 3/4" btw

I'm with ya, brother. I've wanted one My entire life. The closest I've gotten is an Epi and several copies. ONE day. One day.

The tributes were awesome. I got a 2018 gold top. She weighs over 8 1/2 pounds. Paid under a grand for it. Imo the 2017 was the best sounding one.

Keep up the great work! BTW, Some people are never happy... claiming these don't stack up. Why? Because there is no binding and extra frills? Who cares? These things are awesome in every way for the money. Too bad they were discontinued. Maybe it will be easy to buy one from someone who doesn't feel it's worthy of their refined exquisite sense of taste 🧐😂

Nice LP. The Pearly Gates set is terrific. I had a Pearly Gates on an old early 80s Charvel. Sounded amazing.

sweet LP brother! awesome riffage too!

Very Good playing and guitar🔥🔥🔥

Nice playing Professor

Secret guitar ? Please try this one, it beats my Classic, Epiphone 1959 Les Paul Standard ! The unpotted 2 and 3 burstbuckers are unreal !

Congratulations on your new find. There’s something about a Les Paul that just screams killer tone. I guess what I’m trying to say is Les Paul’s have a certain sound to them which is awesome. Mods are always necessary no matter what guitar it is. I loved the pearly gate pickup SD are some of my favorite pickups but you should try some Bill Lawrence L500 XL’s. I have them in a few of my Dimebag guitars (Washburn Deans). I love hearing you play guitar there is just something about it that makes me wanna continuously listen and my motto is “good music makes your head nod.” Excellent playing my shred brother from another mother. Joyo is an awesome company, I own a Joyo amp (zombie) and I also own a few of their overdrive pedals. Great bang for your buck. Thanks for the content Josh, so far you are doing an excellent job. Wait where is the comedy skit, destruction of a helpless box lol. Those should be in every video. Get naked, get your shred on, and keep it bluesy. #Guitar

Love my stock 2018 Tribute, but those Pearly Gates sound awesome. Great playing and video.

You deserve all the Gibsons in the world!!

Stopping by for an early thumbs up, I’ll watch this later tonight!

This is cool, great tunes

'Cept I don't think they make this one anymore...

This model has been discontinued

Finally affordable, but unfortunately discontinued last year. Now the only "affordable" new Gibson Les Paul for people on a budget is a $1500 studio or "lite". Some Epiphones cost more than that Tribute did new. I still think a Les Paul Classic for $2100/2200 is a fair price for a new American made Les Paul with all the bells and whistles, though a used Standard IMO is the way to go.

I bought a 2017 Tribute. They have mahogany necks. Got it in 2018 as a clearance sale for …….. $809.00. Hey, the 2018’s were coming out. Only mods are a poker chip and a blank truss rod cover.

I'm diggin it!

I HAVE THE EXACT SAME GUITAR! IT'S GREAT.

I finally got my Gibson sg special with p90's (I'm an Iommi nut) next will be the LP. nice diary of a madman intro!

Damn dude you have some killer techniques and chops!

Sweet guitar. On the weight I assume you meant 7.48 lbs. Because 48 ounces is another 3 lbs which would make it a 10 pounder. Welcome to the family

24 3/4" scale length

Love the sound of that reverb and nice and quite

SHREDDING 🎼🎸🧨🧨🧨💣🎯

I think if I were in the market for a Les Paul I'd skip Gibson in favor of a Heritage, or more likely a CMG, or a PRS, Tokai or Edwards. I do like Gibson's SGs though.

those are chambered thats why its so light.

Discontinued. They'll probably come out with something else eventually.

Its not natural binding. Its a maple cap with no binding.

🤘🤘🔥🔥💫💫🙌💫🔥🔥🤘🤘👍😈

Really liked the split coil tones at 3:00....a bit of reverb like you added always sounds good too.

I like the mid tone

I doubt it.

how much is affordable?

Finally a great guitar that is not from a cheap supplier. It would be difficult to buy the cheapest chevy and say it is just as good as a cadillac but....... Sure it will go from point a to point b. It still don't stack up. No matter how shinney.

Fender should make a strat with a gibson scale length and a flatter fretboard like a Gibson.

Owned 3 sold em all in favor of micheal Kelly patriot supreme with gfs pickups that smash my brothers sg Diablo guitar of the month. Plays better too. My dream guitar was an Ibanez s series. Finally found a brand new with case 400 bucks. Most I ever spent on a guitar I kept. Gibson I had I paid 300 for a quilt maple top explorer with a kahler Ala Gibson 1985. And 300 for a les Paul dude was on tough times. And an sg inyated but love my 75 dollar epi sg400. Only guitar I jedlver changed a part on. Yet. Going on 3 years.

Not to nit pick but 7 lbs 48 ounces? 48 ounces equals 3 lbs lol.

7lbs 48 0z. What kind of math is that ?

It was affordable..thats why Gibson discontinued it!

7lbs 48ozs 🤣lol Killer guitar

Really 48 ounces?

7 pounds 48 ounces...hahahahahahahahaha. That is super light indeed.

😂
