50s/60s Tribute question...

[TheCount0212]

...when did Gibson stop making 50s Tribs w/ P-90s?

I just picked up a (barely) used gold-top Tribute w/ p-90s w/ a natural back and a rosewood board that says it was made in 2011. The neck seems a bit beefier than a 60s, but a bit slimmer than a 50s (perfect for me).

What exactly did I buy? Can't make heads or tails of the Gibson website as far as when they stopped making the 50s Tribs w/ p-90s. I know sometime in 2011 they switched from rosewood to baked maple boards.

If you don't get your answer here, check with Walter Carter at George GRuhn - he used to work at Gibson and knows all that stuff.

Maybe two or so months ago?

The 50's p90 have orange drop caps, the 60's have little blue caps so small you might struggle to see them.

The last of the 50s w/ P90s and were shipped in late 2010 and the GT's and Honeybursts had natural backs. It should have a see through / smoked glass looking control cavity cover and the orange drop caps.
