Being lighter means that you will enjoy playing this guitar all the more - your back will thank you later. The Maple-topped Mahogany body has been slimmed down and benefits from Gibsons ultra-modern weight relief system, where cavities are carefully placed to bring the overall weight of the body down without creating any loss of tone or resonance. This modern iteration of the Les Paul Studio fuses the ‘80s models high level of functionality with some modern appointments, resulting in a guitar with all of the classic tone and a premium playability.
Little did Gibson know, but this guitar would prove to be hugely popular with both recording artists and live performers alike. Of course, the lower cost could be offset by reducing cosmetic luxuries, and so the Les Paul Studio was born - a classic Les Paul packed to the brim with amazing Gibson tone and featuring a high level of playability, but leaves the decadent looks to its upscale models.
Gibson astutely recognised the potential of a ‘studio’ Les Paul, a version that would be affordable and accessible to more studio sessions artists, meaning that the inimitable Gibson tone would be used and heard on more and more amazing records. The Gibson Les Paul Studio was a product of ‘80s design - an era of great recording studio innovations, when sound production was finally and rightly becoming a recognisable art instead of an unsung one.
