P-90 Growl, Les Paul Feel, Zero Nonsense
If you want that classic Gibson punch with more edge and attitude, this Les Paul Special Tribute P-90 hits the mark. It is lean, loud, and built to be a no-frills, plug-in-and-grin workhorse.
Gibson kept what matters and ditched the fluff. A solid mahogany Les Paul Special body, a fast and comfortable rounded maple neck, and a pair of roaring P-90s that go from glassy to gritty with a twist of your volume knob. At 6.8 lbs, this one is shockingly light for a Les Paul, so your shoulder will thank you on those three-set nights.
Mahogany Body, Worn White Nitro, All Vibe
The mahogany body gives you that familiar Gibson midrange punch and warmth that sits perfectly in a mix. Chords bloom, single notes have authority, and the whole guitar feels alive even before you plug it in.
The worn white satin nitrocellulose finish is more than a cool look. Nitro lets the wood breathe and resonate in a way thick poly never will, and the satin feel keeps it slick and fast under stage lights, not sticky. It has that broken in, stage ready vibe right out of the box.
Rounded Maple Neck That Feels Like Home
The rounded maple neck is classic Gibson in all the right ways. It fills your hand enough to feel solid and supportive, but not so chunky that it slows you down. If you like a neck that lets you dig in without fighting you, this one is in the sweet spot.
The rosewood fingerboard with a 12 inch radius and medium jumbo frets makes bends feel buttery and smooth. No choking out, no weird flat spots, just clean, singing notes up and down the neck. Add in a Graph Tech nut and proper fretwork, and tuning stability is locked in for the long haul.
Dual P-90s: Chime, Bark, And Big Midrange
The heart of this guitar is the pair of Gibson P-90 pickups. The bridge pickup has that snappy top end and snarling midrange that cuts through a band mix without ever getting ice picky. It loves crunchy amps and overdrive pedals.
The neck P-90 is fat and warm without turning to mud. Roll the tone back and you are in creamy blues and classic rock territory. Open it up and you get punchy, articulate cleans that still have bite. Between the 2 volumes, 2 tones, and the toggle switch, you can live on this guitar all night with just your volume knob and your hands.
Simple, Rock Solid Hardware
The compensated wraparound bridge keeps things old school simple while intonating properly and transferring a ton of vibration into the body. You feel every note through your picking hand. Vintage Deluxe tuners with white buttons hold tune and look right at home on a Special.
Chrome hardware, black top hat knobs, black 5 ply pickguard, and matching black plastic appointments keep the whole look honest and purposeful. No bling, just the good stuff that works night after night.
Lightweight, Gig Ready, And Dialed In
This exact guitar weighs in at 6.8 lbs, which is seriously light for a Les Paul. On a strap it feels balanced, nimble, and ready for long rehearsals and back to back gigs. Your back will notice the difference.
It ships in a Gibson gigbag and, as always, pictures are of the actual guitar with serial number 204010440. Our techs give it the full Player-Perfect setup, triple check everything, and make sure it is ready to hit a stage or studio the second you open the case.
