Gibson Les Paul Studio Swirl at a Glance:
  • Western maple top with mahogany body and Silver Blue Swirl finish
  • "Modern Classic" 490R and 498T pickups
  • Vintage-inspired neck profile with Black obeche fretboard
    Western maple top with mahogany back with Silver Blue 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 Silver Blue 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 Silver Blue 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...

    My Sales Engineer is the best. If I need it tomorrow, I have it tomorrow. He makes sure everything is in order and that I'm set up right. I've spent a lot of money at other places, too, but I don't remember them calling me to make sure everything's okay.
