Gibson Les Paul Studio 2018 - Smokehouse Burst

A Workhorse Les Paul with Ultra-Modern Weight Relief
The Les Paul Studio is as celebrated by live performers as it is by session players. The Gibson Les Paul Studio covers a wide sonic territory with its coil-tapped complement of 57 Classic pickups. This combination unlocks plenty of creative textures to flesh out ideas in the studio or onstage, from classic cleans and modern drive to single-coil cluck. The Studio benefits from an Ultra-Modern weight-relieved body. This reduction in weight of more than a pound provides extra comfort for long sessions and performances. And a feature your fingers will thank you for is the SlimTaper mahogany neck, which honors the fast style beloved by fans of '60s Les Pauls. Dependable Grover kidney tuners keep this Les Paul Studio's tuning stable.











Plek'd for precision playability
This Les Paul Studio feels fast and precise, thanks in large part to Plek processing. Typically reserved for top-dollar custom guitars, this process levels the frets with pinpoint precision, providing you with the most playable fretboard you're likely to own. Each note rings loud and clear, and the fret edges feel smooth as silk.




Classic mahogany/maple body is weight relieved for comfort
You can't deny two fundamental guitar truths: early Les Pauls were glorious, but they were also heavy. That's the trade-off of strapping a solid slab of mahogany to your body. But Gibson has done something special with the Les Paul Studio's Ultra-Modern, weight-relieved body. It retains the chime and resonance of slab Les Pauls at a big reduction in weight. This just means you can enjoy yourself onstage for longer, and drag yourself out of bed easier, with the Gibson Les Paul Studio.




SlimTaper mahogany neck plays fast and smooth
The neck on this Les Paul Studio is a breath of fresh air. Its SlimTaper neck profile conforms naturally to the hand, for smooth leads up top and fast licks down low. If you're looking for the comfort of a '60s Gibson, Sweetwater suggests checking out the Studio.
