Description

The newest iteration of the iconic Gibson Les Paul Studio is here, now in with a more modern twist to it. A favorite among guitarists Les Paul lovers, the Studio has undergone some refinement, giving way to the Les Paul Modern Studio, that draws inspiration from the Les Paul Modern and integrates cutting-edge features and improvements, upping its performance.

An Ultra-Modern weight-relieved mahogany body, engineered by Gibson, is the star of the show here. The body offers a slightly lighter body than its notoriously heavy predecessors, all without sacrificing that iconic Les Paul sound. It's topped by a gorgeous a maple cap, boasting a single-ply black binding that follows the contours of this beloved body shape.

The neck of the Les Paul Modern Studio is constructed from mahogany, and features Gibson's very popular SlimTaper profile, coupled with a Modern Contoured heel, making upper fret access a no-brainer. The neck is also topped with a dark, stunning ebony fretboard which is divided by 22 frets, and decorated with Gibsons acrylic trapezoid inlays. The Graph Tech nut measure at a width of 1.695 inches and the total scale length of this instrument is a standard 24.75 inches.

The Les Paul Modern Studio comes loaded with a powerful pair of pickups, featuring Gibson's 490R in the neck and a 498T pickup in its bridge. These pickups — Gibson's take on a classic PAF — deliver a dynamic range of tones, from warm and mellow to aggressive and biting, and are tamed or unleashed by a classic Les Paul control panel, with 2 push/pull volume knobs for coil tapping and 2 push/pull tone knobs for phase and pure bypass options. 

Available in this beautiful Smokehouse Satin finish, as well as a Wine Red Satin and a Worn White, all three of these beautiful Les Paul Modern Studio guitars features striking black nickel-plated hardware, including an Aluminum Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge, Aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece, and Grover Rotomatic tuners with Keystone buttons. This guitar comes with an included gigbag.
