The ever-entertaining Greg Koch makes this one sound like a million bucks with his library of licks:

If you're also asking about Sweetwater, I'm a repeat customer for a reason. I've never been disappointed in either selection or service.

What Clint said about Sweetwater...
If you're shopping LP Tribute IME the one you want is the '17 goldtop T with the humbuckers - and if I didn't think there was a real possibility I'd be sleeping in the back of my SUV I'd buy one as a mate to my '11 P-90 version; in my book this guitar - along with the J-15 acoustic - is the proof that Gibson can make first-class stuff that don't have to cost an arm and a leg. The weight-relieved body not only makes it easier on the shoulder than the standard LP (2-3 pounds worth depending on the individual instruments), but it has a natural liveliness and acoustic response that I personally find very appealing - there's a sweetness to the upper-mids that the full-weight version can't achieve, and while the Tribute can't quite capture that low-midrange impact there's no mistake when you plug in that you're playing a Gibson Les Paul and not some half-arse low-buck copy; in addition, they wisely brought back the PRS-style revealed-edge "binding" discontinued with the '12 goldtop models - pop on a set of speed knobs and a pickup-switch ring, and it'll look like a sweet '57 PAF that got put away under the bed when surf music hit the charts. In all fairness, you might want to try the Newark St. Guild Bluesbird and Aristocrat M-75 as well if you're shopping in this price range - I've heard good things about both - but IME if it's gotta be a Gibson you'll have to spend three times as much to match this one; FYI if I were you I'd monitor the Sweetwater website a couple times a day - these guitars really are that good, and new stock often sells out within a matter of hours after listing...

I have a Gibson Les Paul '60s Tribute Goldtop with the P90s. I bought it used at the local shop 1.5 years ago (with SKB hard shell case). I couldn't pass that up.
Light on my shoulder. It plays and sounds great too. I'd love to have one with humbuckers, that would be sweet. |

OK,Went and played a Gibson Les Paul Tribute yesterday at Samash and it sucked!. Frets were uneven and the lower side of the board had Very sharp edged frets. The pickups were also somewhat lame compared to my `04 Gibson Les Paul Special w/P-90`s. Played through a Fender Champion 100 Amp like I have here. Somewhat very disappointed but tomorrow I`ll try one at GC and see what happens?. Thanks All!!!.
