From Our Research Team:

Back-to-basics Look and a Great Value

The Gibson Les Paul Studio Faded features a smooth, unbound body and a traditional carved maple top, whose beautiful faded finish lends the look of a well-worn guitar. A '59 rounded neck profile with a baked maple fingerboard and two screaming Burstbucker Pro pickups give you a world of classic Les Paul playability. The '59 neck profile is a nice compromise between the original chunky neck and the "slim tapered" carve that followed in the '60s.



Classy pearloid trapezoid markers give this Les Paul Studio Faded the classic Les Paul feel, and a modified heel shape gives you easy access to the upper frets, letting you really dig into your solos! Thanks to a pair of Burstbucker Pro pickups, the Les Paul Studio Faded also gives you that big, fat, smoky humbucker sound. So if you want traditional Les Paul sound and amazing playability - all at a fantastic price - you need a Les Paul Studio Faded!

Very Sweet

by Rad from hunter,ny
May 15, 2012
Music Background: 45 years of guitar and bass playing in all kinds of situations
I had just played a LP selling for 2,500 dollars at a local music store. My brown baby was on the way. I asked the person who handed me the guitar and was a lead player himself if he had an opinion of... read more [+] the studio models and he just dismissed them as hollow bodies. I played on the full bodies and heavy, high gloss black LP for awhile and was impressed with the tone. I had never played and LP before and enjoyed the way the tone controls, with their treble roll off only, worked. 2 days later I got my faded brown studio and fell in love. I love this guitar and would not trade it for the more expensive one. The unique Sweetwater ability to view and choose your guitar was why I chose them over other sites with the same price.

The tone and looks of this guitar make it one of the best bigger money purchases I have ever made.

I am delighted with my guitar and experience with Sweetwater. close [-]

Excellent Guitar

This is a great guitar. The burstbuckers sound really nice and it plays like a dream.

I am loving this thing! It was in tune out of the gig bag!!! I ended up putting some heavier gauge strings on it...after that it needed a minor set up (mainly action and intonation), but this thing is... read more [+] a rock!!! Such a good buy! close [-]

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer knows all his products. I can call and ask him anything and he's on top of it. Some other places just want to sell you something, but I've found Sweetwater to be a helpful, professional company to work with.
