The Essential Les Paul Studio – Workhorse Soul, Shop-Ready Feel
If you want that fat, singing Les Paul voice without the weight and price of a blinged-out Custom, this Studio hits the sweet spot. It is all the punch, sustain, and bloom you hear on classic records, in a guitar you can gig hard, record with, and not baby.
This Gibson Les Paul Studio Cherry Sunburst gives you the core recipe that made the LP a legend: mahogany body with maple cap, set mahogany neck, and a pair of Burstbucker Pro humbuckers. Add Ultra Modern weight relief, coil-tapped tones, and a fast SlimTaper neck, and you have a serious tone tool that covers a lot of ground without ever losing that unmistakable Les Paul attitude.
Ultra Modern Weight Relief, Classic Mahogany Punch
The mahogany body with a carved plain maple cap is the heart of that classic Les Paul sound. The mahogany delivers warmth and midrange growl, while the maple adds clarity, snap, and definition so your chords stay clean and your leads cut through the mix.
Ultra Modern weight relief takes off the shoulder-killing heft without killing the tone. You still get the sustain and resonance you expect from a real LP, but this one stays comfortable through long rehearsals, marathon sets, and late-night sessions.
SlimTaper Neck That Feels Like Home
The SlimTaper mahogany neck is fast without feeling flimsy. It fills your hand just enough for solid rhythm work, but stays sleek for fluid bends and quick runs up the board.
The bound Indian rosewood fingerboard with a 12 inch radius and 22 medium jumbo frets hits that sweet spot where big bends feel buttery and complex chords stay comfortable. Acrylic trapezoid inlays keep the classic look, while the Graph Tech nut and traditional set-neck joint give you rock-solid tuning stability and sustain.
Burstbucker Pro Power With Coil-Tap Flex
Loaded with Burstbucker Pro pickups, this Studio gives you that throaty, harmonically rich humbucker tone that loves gain but still cleans up with glassy articulation. Roll back the volume and the pickups stay open and musical instead of turning to mud.
Each volume control hides a coil tap on a push/pull pot, so in a split second you can jump from thick humbucker roar to tighter, more single-coil-like cut. Between the 3-way toggle, individual volume and tone controls, and coil taps, this guitar goes from blues and worship to classic rock and modern crunch without breaking a sweat.
Hardware That Stays Out Of Your Way
The aluminum Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge and aluminum stop bar tailpiece keep things solid, resonant, and easy to intonate. Notes ring true up and down the neck, and palm muting feels natural and precise.
Vintage Deluxe tuners with keystone buttons lock in tuning while keeping that unmistakable Gibson silhouette. Chrome hardware, black pickguard, black top hat knobs, and the Cherry Sunburst gloss nitro finish give this Studio a look that is all business with just enough flash under stage lights.
