Gibson Les Paul Studio Satin Electric Guitar

No-nonsense performance, classic tone, and a worn satin finish.



Ever since its introduction in 1983, the Les Paul Studio model has been enormously popular with players seeking the power and versatility of the original Les Paul Standard in a ready-for-action package, with a price to match. The instruments’ reduced ornamentation—lacking body or fingerboard binding, and using plainer tops—has helped to put them in the hands of many more players, while their adherence to the Les Paul’s hardware, pickup, and construction traditions retained all the thick, meaty tone and unsurpassed playability for which the Standard has been known for nearly 60 years. The Gibson Les Paul Studio Mahogany Exclusive combines these assets in a new instrument with a carved mahogany top for a subtle tonal shift when compared to the traditional maple top. Combine all this with a pair of Gibson’s most popular humbucking pickups ever, and a classic hardware complement, and you have a no-nonsense classic for rock, blues, fusion, or any musical style you care to apply it to.

Body
The body of each Les Paul Studio Mahogany Exclusive is crafted from chambered mahogany, joined to a solid carved mahogany top with ultra-strong Franklin Titebond 50 glue. This simple but effective tone wood has yielded some of the most classic tones in the history of rock. The Les Paul Studio Mahogany Exclusive follows the classic lines of the Les Paul Standard, with a gently arched top and a single cutaway on the treble side of the neck/body joint for improved upper-fret access. The body’s back is routed with a number of chambers which serve to both reduce overall weight, and to enhance the guitar’s resonance. All mahogany bodies have been used on high-end Les Pauls in the past, such as the original Les Paul Custom “Black Beauty”, and it is the standard wood of SGs and Les Paul Specials and Juniors.

Finish
The Les Paul Studio Mahogany Exclusive is hand-finished in nitrocellulose in a process that is carefully monitored to ensure minimum build-up, in an effort to produce a finish that breathes with the guitar and enhances natural resonance. Unlike many other manufacturers, who settle for a polyurethane finish, Gibson opts for a nitrocellulose finish that will encourage the natural vibration of the instrument for a purer tone. In addition, a nitro finish is very porous and actually gets thinner over time.

Neck and Headstock
The neck of the Les Paul Studio Mahogany Exclusive is constructed from solid mahogany, cut using the superior “quarter sawn” orientation for improved strength and resonance, and glued to the body at a 5-degree angle (pitch). Mahogany is the most traditional wood for Gibson electric guitar necks, and offers an excellent sonic and visual partner to the solid mahogany body. The neck on the Les Paul Studio Mahogany Exclusive is carved to Gibson’s comfortable, rounded ’50s profile, which offers a smooth playing feel in the hand. This neck shape has been a favorite with many players since its arrival on the Les Paul in the early ’50s.

Fretboard
When finished in Worn Satin Ebony, the neck of the Les Paul Studio Mahogany Exclusive carries a rosewood fingerboard, the traditional fingerboard of the original Les Paul Standard. Rosewood is both hardwearing and sonically superlative, adding sweetness and depth to the guitar’s overall sound.

Pickups
The Les Paul Studio Mahogany Exclusive is equipped with a pair of Gibson’s Modern Classics humbucking pickups, a 490R in the rhythm (neck) position and a 498T “Hot Alnico” in the lead (bridge) position. This calibrated pairing offers an excellent output balance between pickups, with tremendous tonal versatility between the individual and combined switch settings. Gibson’s Modern Classics are among the most popular humbucking pickups in modern guitar making, and offer tone and performance suitable for a wide range of musical styles. Both the bridge and neck pickup yield plenty of richness and clarity, and can dial in great clean tones when required, but will also push amps and effects a little harder when desired. The 490R in the neck position is warm, rich, and round sounding, while the 498T in the bridge position is hotter and meatier, with excellent midrange punch, a sizzling lead tone through a high-gain amp or pedal, and excellent sustain.
