2016 Gibson Les Paul 50s Tribute – Honey Burst
No frills, no flash—just pure, unfiltered tone. This 2016 Gibson Les Paul 50s Tribute in Honey Burst isn’t here to sit in a glass case. It’s built to be played, and played hard. With its worn satin finish and stripped-back vintage vibe, it looks like it’s seen a few pubs, maybe a few fights, and definitely a few sold-out sets.
Underneath, it’s all classic Les Paul: a mahogany body with a carved maple top for that tried-and-true tonewood combo—rich mids, tight lows, and just enough top-end bite to cut through the mix. The mahogany neck features the rounded 50s profile—meaty, solid, and unapologetically old-school. It fills the hand without feeling like a baseball bat, and it’s made for players who actually play.
Loaded with 490R and 490T Alnico II humbuckers, it growls when you dig in but cleans up beautifully when you roll the volume back. Think warm, punchy rhythm tones and searing, articulate leads. It’s got the snarl of a vintage PAF with a bit more midrange presence—perfect for classic rock, blues, and beyond.
You also get a rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets, a Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece for rock-solid tuning stability, and vintage-style tuners to top it off. No binding, no gloss, no nonsense—just raw tone and attitude.
If you’re after a proper workhorse Les Paul with vintage roots and a bit of edge, this Honey Burst 50s Tribute is ready to earn its scars.
Condition
We recently had another 2016 Les Paul 50s Tribute in the same Honey Burst finish pass through our hands, and while that one was in great shape, this example is in even better condition—easily between excellent and mint. It shows barely a hint of playwear and has clearly been well looked after.
Included is the original case candy: the Gibson warranty card, owner’s manual, and the factory photo of the guitar during its final setup. It also comes with an upgraded aftermarket hard case, which a previous owner has embellished with a high quality Gibson logo for that extra touch.
Setup
As with all our pre-owned instruments, this Les Paul has been through the Village Music Guitar Workshop for a full check-over and professional setup. It’s now strung with a fresh set of Elixir 10–46s and dialled in for effortless playability—low, comfortable action, smooth, polished frets, correct intonation, and crystal-clear electrics. No scratchy pots or dodgy jacks here—just plug in and go.
