For years, the Les Paul Studio has been the choice of countless guitarists who appreciate the combination of the essential Les Paul features-humbucking pickups, a glued-in, set neck, and a mahogany body with a maple cap-at an accessible price and without the flashier and more costly cosmetic features of higher-end Les Paul models.  Now, the Les Paul Studio has been refreshed and is better than ever. It features an  Ultra Modern weight-relieved mahogany body with a plain maple cap, a mahogany neck  with a traditional heel, SlimTaper profile, and a bound rosewood fretboard with acrylic trapezoid inlays, Vintage Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons, and a pair of Gibson's  acclaimed Burstbucker Pro pickups wired to push/pull volume controls for coil tapping  and individual tone controls for even more sonic options. Available in a variety of gloss  nitrocellulose lacquer finishes with matching trim, this is the essential Les Paul, refined and updated for today’s players. A soft shell case is also included.
