Enhancing its appearance, the top is carved and bound, capped with an AAA flame maple veneer that adds premium visual depth. Finished in Ebony Burst, the instrument offers a modern yet refined aesthetic consistent with flagship Gibson designs. Single‑ply ivory binding on the body and fretboard elevates its look while protecting the edges. SlimTaper Rounded C Neck for Comfortable Playability A mahogany neck is paired with a laurel fingerboard and 22 medium-jumbo frets. The 60s SlimTaper Rounded C profile is designed for fast, fluid playing—ideal for both chord work and lead lines. A sculpted heel joint enhances upper‑fret access, giving the guitar a more ergonomic feel compared to traditional Les Paul heel designs. The fingerboard features pearloid trapezoid inlays, and the 60s‑style Kalamazoo headstock adds vintage authenticity. High‑Output Epiphone Ceramic Humbuckers For tone shaping, the Les Paul Tribute Plus is equipped with Epiphone’s powerful ceramic humbuckers: the Epiphone 650R in the neck position and Epiphone 700T in the bridge. These pickups deliver the strong output, tight lows, articulate mids, and cutting highs that ceramic magnets are known for. Beneath the nickel covers, the pickups use zebra coils, blending vintage styling with modern performance. Controls include two volume knobs, two tone knobs, and a three‑way toggle selector, giving players wide tonal flexibility. LockTone Hardware for Stability and Sustain The Tribute Plus features Epiphone’s LockTone Tune‑O‑Matic bridge and LockTone Stop Bar tailpiece, components designed to enhance sustain and improve string‑to‑body energy transfer. This system also prevents accidental bridge displacement during string changes and helps maintain consistent intonation. Die‑cast tuners ensure smooth, reliable tuning performance. Overall, the hardware package makes the guitar durable and stage‑ready.
