Bridge
In 1954, Gibson revolutionized guitar hardware when it debuted the Tune-o-matic bridge, setting a standard for simplicity and functionality that has never been bettered. Included on the Les Paul Studio 50s Tribute, the Nashville Tune-o-matic provides a firm seating for the strings, allowing the player to adjust and fine-tune the intonation and string height in a matter of minutes. It also yields excellent coupling between strings and body, maximizing resonance, tone, and sustain. This bridge is made from Zamak then plated with chrome, and each one weighs approximately .118 lbs. Bridge Tailpiece
Every Tune-o-matic bridge is combined with a separate “stopbar” tailpiece, which is essentially a modified version of the earlier wraparound bridge that’s designed to further enhance the connection between the strings and the body. The Les Paul Studio 50s Tribute’s stopbar tailpiece is made from Zamac then plated with chrome, and each one weighs approximately .24 lbs.Tailpiece Control Knobs
The control knobs on the Les Paul Studio 50s Tribute are Gibson’s gold Top-hat knobs with silver inserts, as found on many vintage and modern Gibson guitars. Control Knobs Strings
The Les Paul Studio 50s Tribute is fitted with genuine Gibson strings, sizes .010 - .046.
