Here for sale we have a Gibson Les Paul Studio in Satin Cherry finish. Made in the USA in 2004 this guitar features a set-neck construction consisting of a Mahogany body, Mahogany neck and 22 fret Rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include Gibson Deluxe tuning machines, TOM bridge and stopbar tail piece. A pair of Gibson ProBuckers are fitted and wired to a 3-way pickup selector as well as independent volume and tone controls.
The Mahogany neck sits comfortably in the hand, with the profile resembling a ‘D’ shape filling the hand without feeling too cumbersome, providing a smooth and articulate playing experience. The Rosewood fingerboard feels pleasant under the fingers and provides a smooth playing surface for the user to explore, along with the 12” radius and Medium Jumbo frets making bending and vibrato techniques a breeze. The familiar lines of the body feel great in the arms, whilst the single cutaway body design provides the player with unobstructed access to the higher register, great for those high end lead lines.
The Gibson Probucker in the neck position sounds thick and full, with a rich low end great for rhythm tonalities. The middle position provides a punchy, tight midrange great for chordal styles of playing whilst being able to cut through a mix. The Probucker in the bridge position produces a clear and articulate top end, balancing very well with a punchy output, providing a great feel and clarity, allowing the player to achieve a wide variety of tones all at the fingertips.

Headstock: Overall excellent condition, all aspects demonstrate very light scratching visible only under close inspection. There is a very small indentation to the nut on the bass side.

The rear of the neck demonstrates indentations throughout the register, visible only under direct lighting at certain angles and difficult to discern beneath the thumb. The pearl inlays of the fingerboard have turned slightly yellow due to the age of the instrument.
Body: Overall very good condition, the front face demonstrates light scratching from the treble side waist to the pickups, consistent with the use of a plectrum. Further light scratching can be identified surrounding the controls. The edges demonstrate light indentations throughout, Some wear to the finish on the bass side lower bout front edge has revealed the wood beneath. The rear face demonstrates light scratching and indentation. High traffic areas on the body have buffed from satin to gloss through regular use. Inside the body small bits of debris can be heard moving around the body. We assume this is debris from the factory as we have found nothing in the cavities.
