Here for sale we have a Gibson Les Paul Studio in Ebony finish. Made in the USA in 2022, this guitar features a set-neck construction comprising a Mahogany body with carved Maple top, Mahogany neck and 22 fret Rosewood fingerboard. Chrome hardware is fitted, including a Tune-O-Matic bridge and StopBar tailpiece, as well as Grover Rotomatic tuning machines. A pair of Gibson humbucking pickups are installed, with a 490R in the neck and 498T in the bridge. These are wired to a 3-way toggle switch and independent volume and tone controls, as well as independent push/pull coil splits.
The Mahogany neck plays very well, with the SlimTaper profile filling the hand nicely for a substantial and confidence-inspiring grip, whilst remaining slim enough for articulate lead lines and melodic playing. The gloss finish to the rear of the neck assists with smooth navigation of the 24.75" scale, with the single cutaway body design enhancing access to the upper register. The Rosewood fingerboard is pleasant under the fingers, and with its traditional 12" radius ensures practicality for both melodic and chordal playing styles.
The pair of Gibson humbucking pickups installed in this guitar are a tried and tested combination which can be found in many Gibson guitars. The 490R in the neck position is both warm and round without being too soft, delivering excellent clarity for your lead and solo tones. The 498T bridge pickup is of course brighter, saturating into a full-bodied and searing distortion tone when cranking the gain; perfect for those rock riffs and rhythm parts. The addition of coil split functions for both pickups adds the versatility of single-coil style sounds for those quieter sections of the set. It's easy to see why the Les Paul Studio is such a popular instrument.
