1960/2010 Les Paul Tribute
To celebrate the life of the late Les Paul, Epiphone released a series of premium Les Paul guitars. Available in two faded colours, translucent black and heritage cherry sunburst, these are essentially Epiphone Les Paul Standard guitars with notable upgrades. These upgrades - which include Grover Locking Tuners, Mallory 150 Electronics, Gibson Classic '57 and Classic '57 Plus Pickups - bring this Epiphone Guitar into a class of its own, which is just about as close as being a genuine Gibson as you will get for so much less than its Gibson counterpart. The Les Paul Tribute guitars come in two different "versions": 1960 and 2010. The 1960 version has a 1960s style slim taper neck, whereas the more modern 2010 version has an asymmetrical neck. The bass side of the neck on this guitar is thicker than the treble side, providing a more comfortable feel that fits the shape of the hand more accurately.

Famous quotes containing the words les and/or tribute:
“The deer and the dachshund are one.
Well, the gods grow out of the weather.

The gods grow out of the people.
Encore, encore, encore les dieux . . .”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“His meter was bitter, and ironic and spectacular and inviting: so was life. There wasn’t much other life during those times than to what his pen paid the tribute of poetic tragic glamour and offered the reconciliation of the familiarities of tragedy.”
—Zelda Fitzgerald (1900–1948)
