Clearance Gibson Les Paul Studio Electric Guitar Wine Red Gold

I have played guitar for about a year and an half. I got this guitar to upgrade from a Ephiphone, It is has great sound and tone. I love Les Paul. The pickups are good for Rhythm and Lead. I love the neck shape and fret spacing.

I bought and still have a 1977 LP Custom...the best one available in 1977. This Studio sounds much better that my 77 custom. Best I can tell the pickups are the same, at least they look the same and the weight is much more bearable. I'll keep the 77 for nostalia but the new Studio is now my go to guitar over the 77 Paul and a couple Fender strats.

By no means is the faded as good as the Standard, etc....However, for the money I paid for this faded, it is by far the best guitar for the price out there. It plays and sounds a lot like the standard with very little difference in my opinion. It is of course lighter than the standard which is a bonus. The only thing missing is the gorgeous finish and detail of the standard and the heavier body of the guitar does make some difference in sustain. There are some studio versions with nice paint for not much more than the the faded, but I was trying to get the lowest priced Les Paul possible. The Cherry finish looks really good and I have gotten a lot of compliments. There are only 2 extremely minor issues I would point out...One is that the finish on the back of the neck is a little frictiony when trying to slide your hand up and down (no biggy)...Can probably use some kind of treatment on that to make it better, but I am leary to without consulting with Gibson. The other is the location of the strap peg by the neck. It is mounted to the rounded area of the body by the neck and the way the strap hangs on it is at an angle so I'm sure it is not a good connection. I bought a locking strap which helps, but it looks kind of corny the way it hangs at an angle....Pretty nit picky stuff, I know. My dream guitar is the standard in sunburst (The classic Les Paul), but I must say, this faded is close enough to my dream guitar that I may decide to be satified with it instead of forking out the $2500 to $3500 for the classic. Cudos to Guitar Center in Merrillville for working with me on my online purchase...I ordered a white LPJ because it looked good online, but when I took it out of the box, the transparency of the white that looked like white washed wood didn't do anything for me, and the store had the cherry studio in stock and they let me swap it and gave me a great deal...

I bought a Studio Stained cherry in 2008 . The burst bucker pick ups sound as great as any pick up can . This guitar is lighter than a typical gibson classic , which at 60 yrs. of age now is nice . I have a classic goldtop , but I play my studio more , it looks as good as it did new . If you have played a melody maker , a Les Paul junior or other Les Paul model , this guita is as good as it gets for a true gibson sound , look , and playabilty . One great guitar .

I bought a 2008 Stained cherry for a great price brand new . I have a 97 goldtop Les Paul , I play my stained cherry more . Those burstbucker pickups are unbelieveable , I love this Gibson , it sounds like a Gibson should sound , it looks as good as the day I bought it , this price now is incredible ,makes mine not worth monetarialy more , but I can not recommend this guitar enough . And it is not nearly as heavy as my goldtop. If you want to rock , this is your guitar . I promise . keith

i purchased the gibson l. p. studio faded brown after a friend happen to come in , he used to work there xcellent person knows his strings. sold me a prs out of this world, wanted me to try an american made icon, the gibson l. p. so i did an absoulte instrument made to play. i like the blues and it can lay them down. i differently recommend a gibson over an prs any day. it has the advantage plus the sound is unreal the guitar is american made a big plus, 2012 modle with vintage looks.
