Solidbody Electric Guitar with Mahogany Body, Maple Top, Mahogany Neck, Ebony Fingerboard, and 2 Humbucking Pickups – Cobalt Burst

Gibson’s Most-appointed Studio Model — Ever

The Gibson Les Paul Studio Session builds on the legacy of its no-frills predecessor with a well-thought-out selection of cosmetic, performance, and electronic updates. To start, the Les Paul Studio Session’s weight-relieved mahogany body is crowned with an eye-grabbing flame maple top. This solidbody electric guitar’s mahogany neck brandishes Gibson’s crowd-pleasing SlimTaper neck profile, which is bolstered by a modern contoured heel for easier playability and an upgraded bound ebony fingerboard. A set of ’57 Classic pickups provides you with supercharged PAF-flavored tones, which are reinforced by four push-pull knobs for easy access to coil tap, out-of-phase, and pure bypass options. You also get Grover Rotomatic tuners with Keystone buttons, head-turning acrylic trapezoid fingerboard inlays, a “Les Paul Model” headstock overlay, and a Gibson logo headstock inlay for authentic Les Paul aesthetics. The Gibson Les Paul Studio Session offers discerning players an appointment-laden real-deal Gibson at an accessible price that’s impossible to pass up.

A well-chosen selection of updates

The Les Paul Studio is typically regarded as a stripped-down, no-frills version of the Les Paul. That said, the Les Paul Studio Session sets itself apart from the base Studio model with a generous cache of player-preferred updates. For starters, the Les Paul Studio Session’s AA flame maple top gives it a spotlight-stealing look that far outshines its price tag. A bound ebony fingerboard elevates the Les Paul Studio Session into LP Custom territory; meanwhile, a modern contoured heel gives this solidbody electric guitar a level of playability suitable for styles that lean more toward the technical side. The Les Paul Studio Session houses ’57 Classic humbuckers, and its four push-pull knobs give rise to coil tap, out-of-phase, and pure bypass options. You also get upgraded Grover Rotomatic tuning machines with Keystone buttons. At this price point — and with these features — the Les Paul Studio Session enables players of all stripes to get their hands on a well-appointed, authentic Gibson Les Paul.

’57 Classic: supercharged PAF power

It would be a big mistake to assume that all humbuckers sound alike. The truth is that there are a number of Gibson humbucking pickups available, and each one has its own distinctive personality. With its “Patent Applied For” decal on the faceplate, the ’57 Classic is a near-perfect re-creation of a late-1950s humbucker, delivering a warm, even tone with full, even response. From clean to crunchy, the ’57 Classic delivers the kind of richness once thought possible only from an original 1950s humbucker. Used in the neck position, the ’57 Classic is the perfect complement to the slightly overwound ’57 Classic Plus in the bridge position. It features special Alnico II magnets, vintage enamel-coated wire, nickel-plated pole pieces, nickel slugs, maple spacers, and braided wiring. Thanks to modern production techniques, each ’57 Classic delivers all the tone you’d expect from a vintage Gibson humbucker.

Your conduit to effortless playability

Players who find vintage Les Pauls heavy and unwieldy (but who love them anyway) will be pleasantly surprised when they pick up the Gibson Les Paul Studio Session. Its Ultra-Modern weight-relieved construction shaves down the guitar’s total weight without affecting the natural acoustic tone of its maple-over-mahogany body. Its SlimTaper neck profile and modern contoured heel provide outstanding hand-cradling comfort. Finally, the Les Paul Studio Session’s bound ebony fingerboard ensures a smooth feel that’s guaranteed to yield hours upon hours of inspired playing. Simply put, the Les Paul Studio Session was tailor-made for marathon-length gigs; it’s a Les Paul you can play for as long as you want without repeated trips to the chiropractor.
