Gibson Les Paul Studio
September 08, 2006
The Gibson Les Paul Studio is a cosmetically simplified version of Gibson's classic standard Les Paul model. The original LP models were designed in collaboration with recording artist Les Paul, mostly in competition with Fender's Telecaster. Rather than produce inexpensive plank-like bodies with bolt-on necks, Gibson opted for an elegantly carved, bound body with a set neck. The guitar also featured the newly-invented "humbucking" pickups, which cut out the 60-cycle hum of single-coil pickups and gave the Les Paul a much darker tone than Fender's Stratocasters and Telecasters. The Les Paul Studio omits the body binding, and has a sleek, stripped-down appearance, while retaining the essential Les Paul features.

Comment
I really got upset when this guy said: "it is not a bolt-on neck or any silly stuff like that".
I really like Les Pauls, but personally I use Fender because they are affordable and they have really GOOD quality. As you know (if you really guys know) Fender guitars (most of them) have bolt-on necks. This guy was unprofessional and stupid for saying such bull****
Fender guitars are (for me) the best guitars I've ever played and I won't let any "professional" reviewer to talk s**t about Fender.
Thank You
CLASSIC CLASSIC CLASSIC

Just a little comment
I have been actually thinking of getting Gibson Les Paul Studio guitar (different color though, but it does not matter). I have watched this video, and I have read these 4 comments, and unfortunately I have to agree with the unfavorable ones - the majority. Here is what I think: this Gibson, as all of them, IS BEAUTIFUL. No doubt about it. Too much CLASSIC - we know it is classic. Basically, the guy in this video told things that are easily accessible online, on tons of webpages. I have expected something more than that. I have expected that he would talk about all the sounds it generates, how does it differ from Les Paul Classic, is it worth paying the price - as far I as know around $1500 - and general maintenance. And the very last part with the case looks as if it was recorded and pasted after the whole thing.
Classic
If this guy said "classic" one more time i was going to puke.
Ok review.
