NEW Gibson Les Paul Studio Electric Guitar | Demo and Overview with Zach Person

Description
The Gibson Les Paul Studio electric guitar delivers a sleek, performance-focused take on the iconic Les Paul design. Featuring a mahogany body with ultralight weight relief and a carved maple top, this guitar balances tonal warmth with brightness and clarity. The SlimTaper mahogany neck ensures smooth playability, while the bound rosewood fingerboard offers a polished surface for precise fretting. Equipped with Burstbucker Pro pickups and versatile push/pull coil-tapping controls, the instrument provides a wide tonal palette that excels in dynamic musical contexts. With premium hardware and a refined aesthetic, the Gibson Les Paul Studio electric guitar stands out as a modern classic built for inspired performances.
Les Paul Studio Electric With Carved Maple and Mahogany for Dynamic Tone
This guitar combines the tonal depth of mahogany with the crispness of a carved maple top, delivering a rich and balanced sound. Mahogany enhances sustain and resonance, while maple introduces articulation and clarity, ideal for cutting through dense mixes. Ultramodern weight relief reduces fatigue during extended playing sessions without sacrificing tonal integrity. The SlimTaper neck profile complements the body's ergonomic design, allowing for seamless transitions between rhythm and lead playing. Together, these elements create a responsive instrument that delivers warmth and brightness in equal measure.
Gibson Burstbucker Pro Humbucker Pickups for Legendary Tone
Featuring Burstbucker Pro pickups, this model captures the essence of vintage Gibson tone while offering modern flexibility. The neck pickup delivers smooth, rounded tones for melodic passages, while the bridge pickup offers a sharper, more aggressive sound perfect for driving rhythms. Push/pull coil-tapping controls add single-coil textures to the tonal palette, expanding sonic possibilities for studio and stage work. With balanced output and dynamic response, these pickups ensure clarity and articulation across clean and overdriven settings, making them ideal for expressive performances.
Advanced Electronics for Precision Control
This guitar's intuitive electronics layout ensures effortless tonal adjustments. Independent volume and tone controls provide precise shaping for each pickup, while the three-way toggle switch allows for seamless transitions between configurations. Push/pull coil-tapping functionality adds versatility, letting players switch between humbucker and single-coil modes with ease. Whether dialing in rich harmonic leads or defining punchy rhythms, the electronics are designed for responsive control, ensuring that every nuance of your playing is captured with precision and clarity.
Durable Construction for Reliable Playability
The Gibson Les Paul Studio is built for long-term reliability with premium materials and thoughtfully engineered components. The Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge and aluminum stop bar tailpiece ensure stable string vibration and sustain, while the Vintage Deluxe tuners maintain consistent tuning even under heavy use. A molded Graph Tech nut minimizes string friction, enhancing tuning stability and smooth playability. These features, combined with ultralight weight relief, make the guitar a dependable choice for demanding gigging and recording environments.

This Guitar plays and sounds awesome. I was lucky to find one that Guitar center had in there storage room that was new in the box as the display model was so badly beat up. Gibsons QC on this one is absolutely perfect. one thing to keep in mind is that the fretboard and actual colors do vary on these. I was also luck to get one with a very dark Indian rosewood fretboard and beautiful blueberry burst. Definitely and great Guitar
I'm really happy with my purchase

This is my first venture into 'Gibson guitar' territory. My epiphone les paul wasn't enough any more. Played it for 15 years. Time to move up. Researched this guitar, and it was at the top of my list. Nice look (Wine red stain really looks impressive...added a black strap for a classic look)...Reasonable price, but when I went to play it in the store, I was sold. It's a lighter guitar, which really helps my back which aches after some gigs. The action is low, and fretboard easy to handle. The sound is crisp that when I started playing it at rehearsal everyone looked at me and said "what the heck was THAT!" Humbuckers really make a difference and the tone was just spot on. Loved it.
Awesome for the money

Fantastic guitar, all the tone you expect without paying 3k plus. Not to mention it's still absolutely beautiful, then again I tend to prefer the more plain tops to flames and quilted anyway.
