Gibson Les Paul Studio Ebony Black Trim

A Timeless Model with an Updated Design

The Gibson Les Paul Studio builds on the fundamental elements of a traditional Les Paul, with a design that emphasizes functionality and playability. The mahogany body paired with a maple top delivers the characteristic blend of warmth, punch, and clarity—an iconic sound featured in countless recordings and live performances.

Optimized for Playing Comfort

The body features Gibson’s “Ultra Modern Weight Relief,” reducing overall weight for improved comfort during extended sessions. The carved maple top adds brightness and definition to the tone, while the mahogany body provides midrange depth and stability. The glued-in mahogany neck features a Slim Taper profile and a traditional neck joint, enhancing resonance and sustain.

Fretboard and Playability

The bound rosewood fretboard features a 12” radius for easy chord playing and fluid soloing. It has 22 medium jumbo frets and acrylic trapezoid inlays for clear navigation across the neck. The balanced neck profile supports fast and precise playing techniques.

Electronics and Tonal Flexibility

The Les Paul Studio is equipped with two Burstbucker Pro humbuckers, offering a broad tonal range. Each pickup has its own volume control with push/pull coil-split functionality, along with an individual tone control. This gives access to four base pickup configurations and numerous tone-shaping possibilities. A three-way selector switch allows you to switch between the neck, bridge, or both pickups simultaneously.

Hardware and Build

The guitar features Vintage Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons, a Graph Tech nut, and a fully adjustable Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge with a lightweight aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece—all contributing to tuning stability and adjustability. It ships with a soft shell case and is available in a variety of gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finishes.
