got mine yesterday after went back and forth exchanging a couple guitars at GC and this one feels very comfortable to play. It's lightweight body, smooth neck and awesome pickup justify the $1000 price tag. For an entry level gibson, it's just absolutely incredible.

I’m digging this model a lot. I don’t mind the scaled down features. As long as it sounds good and plays good. There’s not enough sonic differences that matter when I’m going to rip out the pickups anyway.

Mine is a 2021 in Iced Tea. I hesitated to buy one because of the maple neck and that's one reason I went with Iced Tea, the neck is stained. Well, I love it. It's the most stable guitar I've owned. From the beginning. My last new Gibson was a 2018 SG Standard and while I loved the profile, it took a year and a half for the neck to stabilize. It was very finicky. I cannot find a flaw with my Tribute. Mine is 7 pound 13 ounces, sounds great and plays great. It may be an entry level Gibson but that's ok, you couldn't tell it by the sound or feel. And yeh, I've bought and sold several Epiphones, they aren't the same. Forget the headstock and the name on it, the difference goes way beyond that.

I had the same thoughts, so I'd ordered a cherry but it had bad fret work so I sent it back. So the two red ones have matching trans red backs and necks, but the tobacco burst one, which is by far the finish I'd want, doesn't have that tobacco black in the back of the guitar. It has this same grayish maple neck and natty mahogany back that just barely works here with the honeyburst top, but looks like ass on the tobacco burst. The 2018 gold top Tribute had a nice even medium tone color all throughout the back to go along with the eye catching gold satin top and it was 999, so maybe they thought it was too bad ass looking at this price point so they made new uglier ones and raised the price.

I purchased the 2023 Les Paul Tribute in the honeyburst finsh for the music director of the church I attend after researching other Les Paul's. The combination of USA made,closely matching two piece maple cap body, rosewood fingerboard and maple neck for additional resonance(and strength at the headstock) ,and the 490 pickups sold me. The pickups are both very bright which I appreciate especially in the neck position. The price of 1299 including a deluxe padded case is very affordable when comparing other LesPauls. The only changes I made was to swap in Kluson locking tuners and filed the fret edges. I love this model and have since bought a 2916 Tribute with p- 90s for myself. Adding the different finish options , you can't beat this guitar.

Thanks for the review GV. It's October '24 and I have been eyeing the Tribute honeyburst since I saw it on Rhett Shull's Les Paul rankings vid. Of course, Gibson discontinued the line (too affordable for Nashville make?) and now I am seeing almost all of the Tributes inching back up in price. Most used are $875 on the low end and $1100ish on the high end. I decided to pull the trigger and got a '22 through Musicians Friend that was in Highland Park, IL. Super quick shipping and so far everything is great. The price was pretty good too at $950 plus shipping for being in excellent shape. I plan on shielding the guitar and replacing the board with a custom JEL Guitar Electronics LP wiring harness with 550k VIPots (Centralab spec) and Emerson bumblebee caps. Not sure what I will do with the pickups, imagine I will upgrade at some point. Like you I actually dig the maple neck and satin nitro finish. Couldn't be happier and this will likely be my only Gibson.

I have one. 2013 tribute 50 which, unlike the models of the time, came with humbuckers and a case. I changed the tuners for the groover ones and put a strap lock. the color is sunburst tobacco. I used it a lot with my bands and today it has a lot of natural relic. I always think about painting it, but the relic is what prevents me the pickups are the same as the one you recorded. I'm also thinking about switching, but I really like the 490T

I like seeing GIBSON on the headstock! My (used) LP Tribute P90 in black satin is a great guitar that barely cost $100 more than a new Epiphone. Now I see a Honey Burst Tribute locally for $1100 CDN. Time for another Les Paul methinks! Update: Bought the Honey Burst Tribute. The neck feels great, those 490s are clear, bright, and articulate. To my pleasant surprise, the body is one piece of mahogany. It looks great with the pickguard and poker chip removed. I love this guitar.

Some while ago I wouldn't have even considered this guitar, if I'm being honest I don't really like how it looks, but paying double or triple the price for a standard is way too much, now I'm kinda liking it... but I'm also thinking of buying an epiphone les paul modern, it just looks so pretty, has an ebony fretboard, in and out of phase and coil split, it also has locking tuners, but lots of people said that this one is way better, the satin finish feels better, it has a better resale value, it sounds better with a slightly lighter weight and it's a gibson after all so the qc should also be better but it's twice the price as the epiphone. Idk I'm still debating, I know you've played both of these so which one would you say it's better as in playability, comfort, material quality? And also is it my idea or the maple cap on these ones is thinner than the other les paul models? But oh well I've watched so many of your videos that I've changed opinions too many times 😂 maybe I'll change my mind after watching some other reviews, you're that good at reviewing guitars great video

Here is my experience. I have played guitar for 45 years. I've owned 2 Gibsons, one acoustic and one electric. I sold the acoustic because the sound was inferior to many guitars that cost less, far less. I was not impressed at all. For the electric, I bought a Gibson Les Paul Tribute just last week. I received the guitar on Monday. By Monday afternoon I had called to return the guitar. The neck and fingerboard were totally misaligned. I've bought many, many guitars in my day. I've never seen such poor craftsmanship. I paid $1300 for a total piece of junk and returned it. My experience with Gibson guitars has not be positive. I'm amazed that Gibson would actually let a guitar like I received come out of the factory. There was a 1/16 inch misalignment between the neck and fingerboard. It was sharp enough to almost cut my finger. I would never, never order any Gibson product online. If you buy one, go to a store and play it, and most importantly you inspect the guitar thoroughly. One last note is that the customer rep I talked to when returning the guitar said that they are continually amazed at the junk that the Gibson USA factory puts out. It's a continual process of people buying and then returning them. My advice is to be careful when buying any product that has "Gibson" on it. It is very evident that their quality control is likely the worst in the entire industry, and yet they charge a mint for all their products. I used to be a Gibson fan, that is until I bought two of their guitars.

Can we change the finish on the tribute to burst because now I am more into burst kind of thing and the PRS SE 594 has that? But for a jazz player what do you think will fit more

Both are fine, maybe the PRS a bit more.

ALL Gibson's enjoy the benefits of plecking NOW, don't they? And locking the gig bag keeps YOU out, but fails miserably at keeping someone else from walking off with your axe!

Weirdly it was the other way round for me. I have reviewed a Classic last month - that sounded dead to me, but felt and played like a dream. I'm gonna give the Classic one more chance when I find a cool finish.
