Gibson Les Paul Studio Swirl at a Glance:
  • Western maple top with mahogany body and Black Green Swirl finish
  • "Modern Classic" 490R and 498T pickups
  • Vintage-inspired neck profile with Black obeche fretboard
    Western maple top with mahogany back with Black Green Swirl finish
    Back by popular demand, the Les Paul Studio is based on the extremely popular mid 1990s Studio model Les Paul, which featured full-sized trapezoid inlays, body and headstock. A Western maple top and chambered mahogany body assure quality sound and feel, while the Black Green Swirl finish assures heads will turn!

    "Modern Classic" 490R and 498T pickups
    The Les Paul Studio features factory-installed 490R (rhythm) and 490T (treble) pickups. These "Modern Classic" pickups feature tonal characteristics similar to the '57 Classic, but deliver a slight increase in the upper mids, for a more contemporary humbucking sound. The special Alnico II magnet gives these beauties a singing quality that delivers on demand. The 490R, with its neck-spaced pole pieces, is calibrated to match the bridge-spaced 490T. Put a slightly hotter Alnico V magnet into a specially wound coil combination, and you get the 498T "Hot Alnico." Its higher output and emphasis on mid-ranges and highs make the 498T the perfect rock lead pickup for the Les Paul Studio.

    Vintage-inspired neck profile with Black obeche fretboard
    The Les Paul Studio's mahogany neck is shaped with a 1959 rounded profile for authentic feel. The fingerboard on this Black Green Swirl model is Black obeche, with full-size pearloid trapezoid inlays. The Les Paul Studio's 22-fret neck and 24.75" scale length make for an easy playing, riff-friendly electric guitar. It's sure to become one of your first choices for sustain, crunchiness and looks!

    Our Customers Say...

    I can talk to my Sales Engineer about any piece of equipment, and he always steers me in the right direction. He truly knows what he's talking about, and he never tries to over-sell me on anything. If he worked in the Nashville area, I'd probably owe him about 20 dinners by now!
