Gearwire Tests Out The Gibson Les Paul Studio.
The Gibson Les Paul Studio is a cosmetically simplified version of Gibson’s classic standard Les Paul model. The original LP models were designed in collaboration with recording artist Les Paul, mostly in competition with Fender’s Telecaster. Rather than produce inexpensive plank-like bodies with bolt-on necks, Gibson opted for an elegantly carved, bound body with a set neck. The guitar also featured the newly-invented “humbucking” pickups, which cut out the 60-cycle hum of single-coil pickups and gave the Les Paul a much darker tone than Fender’s Stratocasters and Telecasters. The Les Paul Studio omits the body binding, and has a sleek, stripped-down appearance, while retaining the essential Les Paul features.
Features:
22 frets
Tune-o-matic bridge
Two covered humbucking pickups
Two volume and two tone controls
Three-way pickup selector switch
Mahogany neck
Ebony or rosewood fretboard
Carved maple top
Mahogany back
