Electric Guitar Review

If you’ve been coveting that Gibson Les Paul Standard down at your local guitar shop, but you can’t really justify dropping more than $2,000 on a new instrument, you might take a serious look at the Les Paul Studio.

These guitars were originally built as a cheaper alternative to Gibson’s mainstay Les Paul, but they quickly became popular in their own rite, and have turned into a much-loved instrument.

The Les Paul Studio sports the same silky-smooth action as it’s bigger brother, and certainly sounds just as good, but comes in at an impressive $1,000 cheaper! Seriously…and in my opinion the streamlined style of the Les Paul Studio looks a helluva’ lot better than the overly-fancy – almost frilly – Les Paul Standard.

The Gibson Les Paul Studio Features–

• Carved Maple Top & Mahogany Back
• ’59 Rounded Les Paul Mahogany Neck
• Rosewood or Ebony Fingerboard With 22 Frets
• Scale length: 24-3/4″
• Pearloid Trapezoid Inlays (Except On Platinum)
• Chrome or Gold Brushed Chrome Hardware
• Tune-o-matic Bridge
• Black Speed Knobs
• Green Key Machine Heads
• 490R Alnico Magnet Humbucker Neck Pickup
• 498T Alnico Magnet Humbucker Bridge Pickup
• Two Volume & One Tone Control
• Three-Way Pickup Swithing

The Les Paul Studio provides really great performance and crafstmanship for the price, and in my opinion it’s sleek style can’t be beat.
