Powered by fan-favorite features and player requests, the Gibson Les Paul Studio Session is an expanded and updated version of the classic Les Paul Studio. This knockout of an electric combines iconic Les Paul tonality and modern Gibson swagger for a totally killer instrument.

The Les Paul Studio Session marks a progression in player-centric features. Starting with a single-cutaway body made of mahogany, this Les Paul carries an easy weight with its Ultra Modern weight relief treatment. This weight-relieved body is paired with a AA figured maple top that boasts a real looker of a grain with an irresistible burst finish. Delivering that always expected Les Paul resonance with style, this guitar is classic Gibson incarnate.

Taking up this guitar, this Les Paul Studio Session extends with a mahogany neck cut in a SlimTaper profile with a Modern Contoured heel for streamlined playability. The neck heel, when paired with the sleek singlecut body, offers excellent access to higher frets for an uncompromised playing experience. This playing experience is enhanced further with a bound ebony fingerboard bearing twenty-two frets. A GraphTech nut and acrylic trapezoid fret inlays tie this board together visually and tangibly for tonal stability and a classic visual motif. Single ply cream binding wraps the ebony to a sweet visual sum.

With all this about how this guitar looks, it has buckets of sound to back it all up. Onboard, two ’57 Classic humbucking pickups load in with versatility and power. This Studio Session’s two ’57 Classic humbuckers play with all the warmth and oomph one would expect out of a modern Les Paul. Where this Studio Session strays from the usual path is with two push/pull coil tap and phase and pure bypass control dials. The Studio Sesson’s coil tapping capabilities are locked into its volume knobs, where single-coil tonality can be introduced to the equation with the pull of a knob. Its tone knobs unlock phase and pure bypass switching where an even greater spectrum of sound comes to life. Exhibiting exceptional versatility in tone, this Studio Session is a marvel.

Along with its powerful electronics, the Les Paul Studio Session comes equipped with quality hardware to keep everything playing in check. An aluminum Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge clocks in for stability in stringing alongside an aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece. Grover Rotomatic tuners line this Les Paul’s headstock with Keystone buttons while an included soft shell case assists in safe travels for this guitar from gig to gig.

A player-forward guitar with sound and style to spare, this Les Paul Studio Session has everything one could need for making a statement. Play loudly, play proudly, this guitar’s got your back.
