Gibson USA LPSTAA01CXCH1 Les Paul Studio Session Electric Guitar - Cobalt Burst

Elevated Performance, Classic Soul The Gibson Les Paul Studio Session builds on the legacy of its no-frills predecessor with a thoughtful blend of cosmetic, performance, and electronic upgrades. Its weight-relieved mahogany body is topped with a stunning flame maple cap, delivering both visual appeal and sonic balance. The mahogany neck features Gibson’s beloved SlimTaper profile and a modern contoured heel for exceptional playability, paired with an upgraded bound ebony fingerboard for smooth, responsive performance. Powered by a pair of ’57 Classic humbuckers, this Les Paul delivers supercharged, PAF-inspired tones with incredible warmth and clarity. The four push-pull knobs unlock coil tap, out-of-phase, and pure bypass options — offering a versatile tonal palette fit for any stage or studio. Premium Grover Rotomatic tuners with Keystone buttons, elegant acrylic trapezoid inlays, and the classic “Les Paul Model” headstock overlay complete its authentic Gibson look. The Gibson Les Paul Studio Session, available now at Sadek Music, is a true player’s instrument — a professional-grade Gibson packed with premium appointments and real Les Paul tone at an accessible price point.

A well-chosen selection of updates

While the Les Paul Studio is often seen as a stripped-down, no-frills model, the Les Paul Studio Session sets itself apart with a host of carefully selected, player-focused upgrades. Its AA flame maple top commands attention and adds a premium visual appeal that belies its price. The bound ebony fingerboard brings a touch of Les Paul Custom elegance, while the modern contoured heel enhances playability for technically demanding styles. Inside, the Studio Session features ’57 Classic humbuckers, with four push-pull knobs offering coil tap, out-of-phase, and pure bypass options — giving players a versatile tonal palette. Upgraded Grover Rotomatic tuners with Keystone buttons ensure precise tuning stability. At this price point, the Les Paul Studio Session delivers a well-appointed, authentic Gibson Les Paul, now available at Sadek Music for players seeking premium tone and feel without compromise.

’57 Classic: supercharged PAF power

Not all humbuckers are created equal, and the Gibson ’57 Classic proves it. With its iconic “Patent Applied For” decal, the ’57 Classic is a near-perfect recreation of a late-1950s humbucker, delivering a warm, balanced tone with full, even response. From sparkling cleans to crunchy overdrive, it captures the rich character once reserved for vintage PAF pickups. In the Les Paul Studio Session, the neck-position ’57 Classic pairs perfectly with the slightly overwound ’57 Classic Plus in the bridge, offering a versatile tonal range for any style. Built with Alnico II magnets, vintage enamel-coated wire, nickel-plated pole pieces, nickel slugs, maple spacers, and braided wiring, this pickup combines vintage character with modern reliability. Every note resonates with the authentic voice of a classic Gibson humbucker — available now at Sadek Music for players seeking true PAF-inspired tone.
