Product Ref: 38897
The Les Paul Future Tribute starts from the same point as the greatest Les Paul Standards ever made, the classic combination of a mahogany body with a solid carved maple top. This pairing gives a tonal depth and complexity unmatched by any single-wood construction, with warmth and richness from the mahogany and superb clarity and "snap" from the maple. The back has been strategically weight-relieved to lighten the load and improve resonance.
The neck of the guitar is made from solid mahogany, carved to an ergonomic and superbly comfortable new asymmetrical profile and glued into the body. The genuine rosewood fingerboard features 22 medium-jumbo frets and traditional trapezoid inlays, with no binding to clutter the stripped-down look.
The pair of zebra-coil '57 Classic™ humbucking pickups start with genuine Alnico II magnets and 42-AWG enamel-coated wire, but are enhanced with evenly-matched coils for a smooth, singing tone, and wax potting to combat squeal at high volume levels. The neck pickup is a standard-wound pickup while the bridge features a slightly over-wound '57 Classic Plus. Separate volume and tone controls for each pickup plus a three-way toggle selector give a broad range of sonic variations, while the Tune-o-Matic bridge and Stopbar tailpiece ensure solid sustain and outstanding intonation.
The Min-ETune™ is a compact battery-powered tuning unit that sits on the back of the headstock and is hardly visible from the front of the guitar. You can still adjust the tuning manually, but now you can turn on the Min-ETune to choose from twelve popular tunings or program six of your own. It tunes your guitar in just three seconds and one strum, and can even adjust to other instruments' imperfect tuning with Reference Tuning.
