The Gibson Les Paul Stuido Electric Guitar is an American classic in the music world. If you want to point to one of maybe three or five guitars that are responsible for Rock and Roll music, the Gibson Les Paul is on top of that list. The reason for the success of the Les Paul is simple, it sounds incredible! The Gibson Les Paul Studio guitar is a great Gibson guitar at a fantastic price. It is a slightly stripped down Les Paul that does away with some of the bells and whistles to give you Gibson sound at a great price. There are no sound comprimises here folks. This is what a rock guitar is supposed to sound like, raw, powerful, and raucus. If you want the Gibson guitar sound at a great price, buy the Gibson Les Paul Studio. You won’t regret it. |

Actual Customer Feedback: "I just picked up a 98 Ruby Red Studio for $300 US last night. I have had a Strat for years and this thing simply blows it away. What a deal. Mine has the P 90 s on it, chrome trim and black pick guard and saddles for the P 90's The sound is killer. this thing is missing the high E string and the other strings are old yet I can already tell my Strat will get little use now. Thats how sweet the sound on these things is! " -Customer Review on Amazon.com "I have been interested in guitars for years now, and owned quite a number of them, such as Strats and Les Pauls. I sold them all over time, the last one after my marriage. A few years ago a friend hooked me up with a Les Paul Studio model, an ebony/ebony model such as the one listed here. Man, does it play well, and when hooked up to a Marshall amp it sounds like a MONSTER. Such fantastic sound at a bargain price. If you like a nice clean sound, like Buddy Guy (who played a Strat) or B.B. King, or prefer a harder, dirtier sound like Neil Young or Jimmy Page, this entry level Gibson is a must!
"I've had quite a few nice electrics over the years, including a BC Rich, a sweet Guild jazz guitar, and most notably, a '72 Strat (When the Fender name still meant something).
"I just aquired a 1997 les paul studio, not on this site but still i wanted to share my experience with potential buyers, i have had a strat since 1998 and thought it was a good guitar, but after 5 minutes on my les paul, there are no words that can describe the feeling....the feel, the sound..., if you cant afford a more expensive les paul, this one will give you the sounds without breaking your wallet, i know i am selling my strat now...there will be no going back for me....you can be sure you are getting the real thing, only without the frills..." -Customer Review on Amazon.com "I got my Les Paul Studio (Plus, but Amazon doesn't have those) last April, and I am very, very impressed. First of all, mine is in the Desertburst finish and it is absolutely gorgeous. The way the light reflects off the paint job makes it even more beautiful. But enough about looks, because I stil have to cover every other aspect of the fine instrument. The most important thing for me, personally, is the perfect neck (A '59 style, I think?). It's not too wide, definately not too narrow, and pretty fast. Sure, neck and body binding would have been nice, but in my opinion, the lack of binding is the only thing that differs from the Standard. The stock pickups are very nice; you can get very versatile sounds out of them, but I still woul like to upgrade to some '57 Classics. The tuners are pretty nice, but I would have like gold ones better that the greenish ivory-looking ones. Aside from everything else, this guitar is solid as a ROCK! The first night I got it, I accidentally released my strap lock, which sent my baby crashing to the tile floor. When I picked it up, all that was wrong with it was a cracked knob! Incredible. Since then, I've dropped it a couple more times (on accident, of course), and it still looks as good as new. Whether you like playing Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, or even Hendrix, you can't go wrong with the Les Paul." -Customer Review on Amazon.com You can't go wrong with Gibson and you really can't go wrong with a Gibson Les Paul. Don't be fooled by imitators, there is nothing like it. People who buy the Gibson Les Paul Studio love this guitar. It has the great Les Paul sound and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Many people love it so much that it's the only guitar that they will play. It's just that good. |
