Gibson Les Paul Studio Session

Gibson Les Paul Studio Session

For years, the Les Paul Studio has been the working guitarist’s secret weapon — all the essential Les Paul tone and feel without the extra weight or the premium price of a Standard. The new Les Paul Studio Session takes that beloved formula and elevates it in every way that matters, with an Ultra Modern weight-relieved body, a carved AA figured maple cap, bound ebony fretboard, and an electronics package so versatile it may be the most tonally flexible Les Paul Gibson has ever produced. This isn’t just another guitar — it’s the one.

Key Features

• Body: Ultra Modern weight-relieved mahogany — lighter and more comfortable for long gigs and sessions without sacrificing any of the warmth and midrange punch Les Paul is known for
• Top: Carved AA figured maple cap — adds brightness, definition, and visual beauty while combining perfectly with the mahogany for that legendary Les Paul voice
• Neck: Glued-in mahogany with SlimTaper™ profile and Modern Contoured Heel for fast playability and unmatched upper-fret access
• Fretboard: Bound ebony, 12″ radius with acrylic trapezoid inlays and 22 medium jumbo frets — comfortable for rhythm and lead playing alike
• Nut: Graph Tech®
• Tuners: Grover® Rotomatic® with Keystone buttons for classic looks and rock-solid tuning stability
• Bridge: Fully adjustable aluminum Nashville Tune-O-Matic™ with aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece
• Pickups: Gibson ’57 Classic™ in the neck and ’57 Classic + in the bridge — the gold standard of Les Paul humbucker tone
• Electronics: Individual volume and tone controls per pickup; push/pull volume knobs for coil tapping; push/pull tone knobs for phase switching and Pure Bypass — routing the bridge pickup straight to the output jack for the shortest, purest signal path possible
• Finish: Gloss nitrocellulose lacquer with matching trim — available in a variety of colors
• Includes: Soft shell case
