The Gibson Les Paul Studio has been the accessible, stripped down version of the iconic Les Paul model since 1983. With genuine Gibson USA humbuckers and tone controls, it provides much of the same tone as a Les Paul Standard without any extras like binding or flamed maple. Although flashier appointments have been options in later years (like diamond inlays, and gold hardware), this is meant to be a workhorse guitar. If Les Paul tone is all you're after, here's your weapon.
1998 marked the first update to the Les Paul Studio since it was fully redesigned in 1990, with the most notable change being the replacement of most Ebony fretboards with Rosewood. This 2011 Les Paul Studio features 490R/498T Humbuckers, and a Mahogany Body with Maple Top, with its gloss black (Ebony) finish. The guitar is in fantastic condition with only some light swirls marks to the top, very light buckle rash to the back, and a tiny mark next to the controls (see last picture) to show for its 13+ years – comes complete with its original Gibson hard case.
