The Gibson Les Paul Studio Session builds on the legacy of its no-frills predecessor with a well-thought-out selection of cosmetic, performance, and electronic updates. To start, the Les Paul Studio Session’s weight-relieved mahogany body is crowned with an eye-grabbing flame maple top. This solidbody electric guitar’s mahogany neck brandishes Gibson’s crowd-pleasing SlimTaper neck profile, which is bolstered by a modern contoured heel for easier playability and an upgraded bound ebony fingerboard. A set of ’57 Classic pickups provides you with supercharged PAF-flavored tones, which are reinforced by four push-pull knobs for easy coil tap, out-of-phase, and pure bypass options. You also get Grover Rotomatic tuners with Keystone buttons, 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 Session offers discerning players an appointment-laden real-deal Gibson at an accessible price that’s impossible to pass up.
