Description

The Gibson Les Paul Studio Session electric guitar builds on the working-player philosophy of the Studio line with upgraded features shaped by modern performance demands. An Ultra Modern weight-relieved mahogany body with a carved AA figured maple cap delivers classic Les Paul tone with improved comfort, while a SlimTaper mahogany neck and bound ebony fingerboard provide fast, responsive playability. A ’57 Classic pickup in the neck and ’57 Classic+ in the bridge deliver vintage-inspired warmth and punch, enhanced by push/pull coil tap, phase switching and Pure Bypass controls for expanded tonal flexibility. Designed for players who move between studio, stage and rehearsal, the Les Paul Studio Session offers a familiar foundation with refined versatility.

AA Figured Maple Top and Weight-Relieved Mahogany Body

The Ultra Modern weight-relieved mahogany body reduces overall weight while maintaining the warmth and sustain associated with traditional Les Paul construction. A carved AA figured maple cap adds articulation and brightness, balancing the mahogany’s midrange presence. This classic tonewood pairing delivers the focused response and definition players expect from a Les Paul in both studio and live environments.

A ’57 Classic pickup in the neck position and ’57 Classic+ in the bridge deliver vintage-inspired warmth, clarity and dynamic response. Independent volume controls with push/pull coil tapping expand tonal flexibility, while push/pull tone controls add phase switching and Pure Bypass functionality. This control layout allows players to move quickly between humbucker power, single-coil clarity and direct-output tones.

SlimTaper Neck and Ebony Fingerboard

A glued-in mahogany neck with a SlimTaper profile provides fast, comfortable playability across the fingerboard. The bound ebony fingerboard features acrylic trapezoid inlays, 22 medium jumbo frets and a 12" radius, supporting smooth chord transitions and expressive bends. A Modern Contoured Heel improves upper-fret access, making the guitar well suited for players who rely on extended lead work and dynamic playing styles.

Reliable Hardware for Stage and Studio

Grover Rotomatic tuners with Keystone buttons provide dependable tuning stability, while the aluminum Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge and aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece enhance sustain and resonance. Additionally, a Graph Tech nut supports consistent tuning performance, and chrome hardware completes the guitar’s streamlined Studio aesthetic.

A Gibson Model Refined for Modern Players

The Gibson Les Paul Studio Session traditional Les Paul construction with expanded tonal flexibility and modern playability. Available in Cherry and Iguana Burst finishes, this model delivers a refreshed take on the Studio platform. For players seeking a reliable workhorse with upgraded features, the Studio Session electric guitar offers classic tone, improved comfort and versatile performance.
