Gibson Les Paul Studio

Les Paul was one of the most legendary luthiers ever to take up the craft. In fact, it's safe to say that his fame is surpassed only by that of the guitar which still bears his name today. The original Les Paul guitar played a major role in creating rock and roll as we know it, and the Gibson Les Paul Studio instruments in this section certainly have what it takes to continue the tradition their ancestor started back in 1952. If you've been looking to add a historic guitar with a healthy dose of modern playability to your collection, then you've come to the right place: the Les Paul studio series is designed for no-nonsense quality and scorching performance that's easy to fit into any budget. To get in on the ground floor of the Gibson Les Paul Studio lineup, check out the Les Paul Studio VG Flame Top Electric Guitar and the Les Paul Studio Pro Faded Electric Guitar. These are like the distilled essence of the Les Paul: all the tone you'd expect from the name, with simple appointments dedicated to studio artists as well as stage musicians with a flair for subtlety. These guitars feel and sound like a Les Paul Standard, but with a smaller price tag and modest, unassuming looks. Of course, that's not to say that there isn't a Gibson Les Paul Studio option for those of us who like a little more flash on our guitars. All it takes to see that is one look at the Les Paul Studio Hot Rod Electric Guitar. True to the Studio series spirit, it's designed without too many unnecessary frills. But its eye-catching style, extra-thick body and powerful humbuckers take all the best things about the Les Paul Studio and turn them up to 11. Although its name says Studio, it's easy to see (and hear!) that the Hot Rod is equally at home on the stage. So go ahead and take a look for the Gibson Les Paul Studio that's right for you. Whether you choose to go subtle, hot-rod it up, or find a happy medium with models like the Deluxe II '60s, there's bound to be a perfect axe for you somewhere in this section. And since every Les Paul is incredibly versatile, there's no riff that will be out of bounds for you and your new Gibson guitar.
