A popular Les Paul, revived and re-revved
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 carved maple top and mahogany back assure quality sound and feel, and the Fire Burst finish brings back a classic vibe!
Pickups deliver true Les Paul sound
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.
A neck designed to rock and roll!
The Les Paul Studio's mahogany neck is carved with a 1959 rounded profile for authentic feel. The fingerboard on this Fire Burst model is rosewood, with full-size pearloid trapezoid inlays. The Les Paul Studio's 22-fret neck and 24 3/4" 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!
