Gibson Announces Limited Edition Les Paul Swamp Ash Studio

Wed, Dec 21, 2005

Les Paul Swamp Ash StudioIf you like the singing power of the Gibson Les Paul, but prefer a guitar that looks a little stripped down, you might want to check out the new Limited Edition Les Paul Swanp Ash Studio, which comes with a gorgeous, satin-finish swamp ash body.

The Les Paul Studios have always been popular guitars for their cheaper price, excellent tone, and shall we say a little less in-your-face styling compared to the Les Paul Standard.

The Les Paul Swamp Ash Studio apparently takes this a step further, offering a bare-bones look, while still managing to provide the tone and playability you’d expect from a Les Paul.

And this beauty is made of certified environmentally-friendly wood, so you can rest assured you’re not pulling down the rainforest to get that great tone.

The Les Paul Swamp Ash Studio Features–

  • Certified Swamp Ash Body
  • Mahogany Neck
  • Ebony Fingerboard With 22 Frets
  • 490R Alnico Magnet Humbucker At Neck
  • 498T Alnico Magnet Humbucker At Bridge
  • Two Volume Controls, One Tone Control
  • 3-way Pickup Switching
  • Chrome-Plated Hardware
  • Tune-o-Matic Bridge
  • Black Speed Knobs
  • Black Reptile Pattern Hardshell Case

If you think you might want one of these new beauties you might want to get on it – Gibson has stated that they will only continue to build the LP Swamp Ash Studio until they run out of their supply of certified wood.
