$3300....looks killer
 
Looks like a reproduction of a '52.
Has the basic specs at least:
p-90's
trapeze style bridge

Funny, just yesterday I was researching the specs of the first Les Paul after stumbling across this on e-bay.

A '52 with a Tune-o-matic and PAF's sent my BS meter off.
It may be a retrofit though.

I'm still suspicious...
 
Gibson is cashing in on Les Paul's death by selling 'very special tribute' guitars for 3 grand a pop?  Gee, I didn't see that coming...

Um... He is disrespectful because he doesn't have respect for them. He can be disrespectful.
 
I get the MF catalog in the mail, and Gibson does have some great-looking variant sunbursts for the Les Pauls - root beer & desertburst & iced tea and faded cherry & siennaburst and whatnot, there are so many I can't keep them straight. I'd love to have a 335-ish guitar with a faded tobacco burst - just not a Gibson, maybe a Heritage or something. If somebody gave me a Les Paul, I'd play it for a while.

That 535 looks about right.

do not get me wrong...Gibson and Epiphone make some killer looking stuff.  The LP Studio I just bought is very nice looking.  I find they often try to hard to stand out...ala zoot suit SGs or the Billy Gibbons relic...
 
You're turning me on to Heritage, stubby. I'm liking the look/concept of the "groovemaster"

I want a jazz box so bad.

C'mon, they could come up with something more expensive than that for a tribute to the man himself......Even Billy Gibbon's "Pearly Gates" replicas are going for 25 G's....And Billy hasn't even invented anything.... :doh:

I was appalled at the pricing there. That tribute model had better have some donation to something that Les would want. That, IMO, is the right way for a tribute. Help carry on the man's legacy, instead of just making a few bucks. Let's not do this Jimmi gibStrat style.
