The New Studio-standard Les Paul!

If you're looking for thick, snarling tone and fire-breathing output, the iconic Gibson Les Paul is your weapon of choice. The Les Paul Studio gives you genuine LP sound and looks in an affordable US-made guitar. Two fearsome humbuckers with attitude team up with a carved mahogany top to give you that fat, syrupy roar and sustain for weeks. Or switch into coil-tap mode to explore new tonal ground. A weight-relieved mahogany body lets you play all night, and the traditional '59 neck feels just right. From Jimmy Page to Slash, generations of guitarists have relied on the Les Paul to deliver their musical message. Get one to deliver yours.

Gibson Les Paul Studio Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • Get maximum sustain from a mahogany body carved mahogany top
  • Pickups deliver true Les Paul sound - and then some

Get maximum sustain from a mahogany body carved mahogany top
Gibson's Les Paul Studio gives you the robust sustain you need for hot liquid solos and massive power chords. The combination of a mahogany body with a carved mahogany top gives you epic sustain without upping the weight. In fact, modern weight relief has been scientifically applied to the Les Paul Studio - giving you all the sustain, without the pain. Now you can play marathon gigs without next-day visits to the chiropractor. The Gibson Les Paul Studio - it's what rock dreams are made of.

Pickups deliver true Les Paul sound - and then some
The 2012 Les Paul Studio features 490R (rhythm) and 498T (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. But there's more! The volume knobs feature a push-pull configuration that allows you to choose between classic humbuckers and single coils.

Gibson Les Paul Studio Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:
  • Genuine Les Paul sound and looks in an affordable US-made guitar
  • Mahogany body and carved mahogany top deliver singing sustain
  • Modern weight relief lightens the load without sacrificing tone
  • 490R and 498T pickups kick out smoky humbucker tones
  • Push-pull controls allow coil tapping for single-coil spank
  • Hardshell case included

Take your tone to new heights with the 2012 Gibson Les Paul Studio!

Killer Tone!

by Paulbiz from Northern VA
September 23, 2012
Music Background: Gigging Musician
Was looking for a no nonsense humbucker-loaded guitar to compliment my Fenders and PRS guitars. Saw this one on the Sweetwater site and the Burstbucker Pros and 59' neck (a personal preference) made i... read more [+]t a no-brainer - especially for well under $1000. My concerns about Gibsons are their notoriously unstable tuning problems. I got the guitar just this past Friday and gigged with t Friday night then again on Saturday. Tuning is just as stable as any of my Fenders - very nice! But the really good news is how great this guitar sounds. The burstbuckers and resonant body give a tight focused punch that really made my rig come alive. This may be the best sounding guitar I own - especially for the blues and harder rock stuff - it flat out smokes! The clean sounds are certainly respectable as well - a nice crisp snap. Playability is really good right out of the box, the action and intonation are spot on...though I may lower the action just a tad later - but it sure does feel right and I bonded with the guitar immediately. Body is light too - which is good for my back! The blue may not be everyones cup of tea but I love it and it got quite a few compliments - its really a minimalist work of art - looks great on stage. So far no real cons - its an excellent value and a fun guitar to play. close [-]

You guys did an amazing job! Excellent customer service and attention to detail. I loved the personal touch from your shipping department. You guys definitely do things the right way - Hard to find these days!
