Epiphone Les Paul Tribute Plus 60

Les Paul Tribute Plus is far and away the best Les Paul for the money you can find anywhere in the world, a perfect combination of tradition and innovation. It's the culmination of years of refining what for many was already a perfect guitar. Epiphone features the Les Paul Tribute Plus, one of those rare guitars that expertly combines tradition and innovation.

The Les Paul Tribute Plus features a solid Mahogany back with a solid, carved hard Maple cap for the ultimate combination of warmth and bite. And it's powered by two Gibson USA '57 Classic humbucker pickups with series/parallel pickup switching via two push/pull tone pots with 4-conductor pickup wiring. Best of all for historic-minded players (which all Les Paul players are), the Les Paul Tribute Plus is the very kind of solid body electric that Les himself envisioned when he first started tinkering after hours in the Epiphone factory in Manhattan in 1940 when the R&D department at Epiphone was one of the most advanced instrument laboratories in the country. Les wanted to invent a guitar that could do anything; give a player any tone they could imagine, a sound that had heft, bite, sweet, or sour, while also making the player look outstanding. And the House of Stathopoulo was the place to make it happen.

"When I started playing, well... ever since I was a freckle-faced, red-headed kid, I just attacked the guitar," Les Paul told Epiphone's Ted Drozdowski. "I was terribly aggressive about it. There were certain things that, if they intrigued me, whether it was music or electronics, I just went for the throat."

In many ways, the Epiphone Les Paul Tribute Plus is the guitar that Les made for himself long before we did. For those who saw the Les Paul Trio in New York at the Iridium or Fat Tuesdays at their weekly gig, it was clear that Les treated the guitar as an instrument--not a collector's item. A good guitar ("Epiphone always made a good guitar," Les once said) should be a tool and the quicker a guitarist could adjust or dramatically alter their sound, the better. For Les, experimentation and spontaneity was key to great artistry and that spirit lives on in the Les Paul Tribute Plus.
