Gibson USA LPST01HSCH1 Les Paul Studio Electric Guitar - Cherry Sunburst

Solidbody Electric Guitar with Mahogany Body, Maple Top, Mahogany Neck, Rosewood Fingerboard, and 2 Humbucking Pickups - Cherry Sunburst:

The Gibson Les Paul Studio packs classic tone and premium playability into a straightforward axe built to appeal to no-nonsense musicians craving a genuine Les Paul experience. The Les Paul Studio flaunts a maple-capped mahogany body, which is chambered for weight relief and given an eye-grabbing nitro lacquer finish. This solidbody electric guitar’s mahogany neck brandishes Gibson’s crowd-pleasing SlimTaper neck profile and traditional heel for maximum comfort and a slick-playing Indian rosewood fingerboard, which is now bound for a smoother feel and added visual appeal. A set of Burstbucker Pro pickups provides you with a gamut of PAF-flavored tones, while push-pull volume knobs give you access to coil-split single-coil textures. You also get head-turning acrylic trapezoid fingerboard inlays, a “Les Paul Model” headstock overlay, and a Gibson logo headstock inlay for authentic Les Paul aesthetics. The Gibson Les Paul Studio is truly better than ever, and we’re confident that discerning players searching for a real-deal Gibson at an accessible price point will find it impossible to pass up.

Contains bona fide Les Paul DNA

Although the Les Paul Studio was designed as a stripped-down, no-frills version of the Les Paul, there’s no mistaking this solidbody electric guitar for anything but a genuine Gibson Les Paul. This instrument boasts all the essential Les Paul features, such as a mahogany body, a maple top, a glued-in set neck, and Gibson USA humbuckers — everything that makes a Gibson Les Paul a Gibson Les Paul. Moreover, today’s Les Paul Studio also includes 1-ply fingerboard binding and coil-split Burstbucker Pro pickups, easily making it the most feature-laden version of the Studio ever. At this price point — and with these features — it enables players of all stripes to get their hands on an authentic Gibson Les Paul.

Burstbucker Pro: a modern spin on classic PAF sonics

Gibson’s Burstbucker pickups rest firmly in pickup pantheon as a top-tier PAF, but what if you’re after more power than a vintage-style humbucker can provide? Enter the Burstbucker Pro, a fatter, more powerful spin on time-tested PAF sonics. Burstbucker Pro pickups deliver all the classic characteristics of a top-notch PAF — exceptional clarity, a remarkably dynamic feel, and ample vintage-accurate warmth — but swaps out the lower-output Alnico II magnets for Alnico V. This results in a more aggressive attack and enhanced low-end response. Moreover, Burstbucker Pro pickups feature wax potting to cut down on hum and squeal. For the player seeking a vintage-style PAF that’s not afraid to venture into higher-gain territory, you’d be hard-pressed to beat Gibson’s Burstbucker Pro humbuckers.

Your conduit to effortless playability

Players who find vintage Les Pauls heavy and unwieldy (but who love them anyway) will be pleasantly surprised when they pick up the Gibson Les Paul Studio. To start, its Ultra-Modern weight-relieved construction shaves down the guitar’s total weight without affecting the natural acoustic tone of its maple-over-mahogany body. Its SlimTaper neck profile and traditional heel provide outstanding hand-cradling comfort. Finally, the Les Paul Studio’s bound Indian rosewood fingerboard ensures a smooth feel that’s guaranteed to yield hours upon hours of inspired playing. Simply put, the Les Paul Studio was tailor-made for marathon-length gigs; it’s a Les Paul you can play for as long as you want without repeated trips to the chiropractor.
