Oooo…. nice…. I’ve always loved 12-string guitars. There’s nothing like the strum sound of a great 12-string, be it acoustic or electric. But a Les Paul 12-string. OMG! I need to play one! Here are some quick features:
- Solid mahogany body (weight relieved)
- Grade-A Maple neck with 60’s profile
- Grade-A Rosewood fretboard (wonder why they didn’t use Richlite on this)
- Classic 57’s for pickups (I dig these pups)
- Mini Grover tuners
- Comes in Heritage Cherry Burst, Goldtop, or Ebony
- PLEK’d neck.
From what I can tell, street prices for these are around $2199. That’s actually not a bad price at all. In all honesty, though I’d love to play one, I’m not sure if I’d ever get one. But that all depends on what ideas I could come up with once I play it. That’s really the deciding factor for gear for me. Does it inspire me to play? That said, I don’t think this guitar is gimmicky at all. But I do believe any 12-string is a sort of niche guitar.

More crap from Gib$on how many more LP do we need
Uhh.. Just like how many more Strats do we need? It is called keeping your product line fresh and your customers engaged. This guitar might not be for you – or for me for that matter – but I see nothing wrong about introducing new products to the market to see what works.

Hi Goofy !
Nice post ! This guitar it’s amazing !!!!
I’m interest in buy the Epiphone LP Tradicional Tribute 1960.
There’s basically two reasons for this :
– first it’s the price of a Gibson. Very expensive for my pocket;
– Second is the Gibson 57 classics pickups are part of the set up of this guitar
Did you ever have played this guitar before ? In positive case what your thoughts about it ?
Thank you !!!
12 strings were not gimmicky for one John McLaughlin, electric guitarist.
Absolutely right, Ron.
