Gibson Les Paul Studio Electric Guitar Lets You Play Like a Rock Star
Introduced onto the British rock scene by Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones, Gibson Les Paul guitars quickly became the gold standard of the rock industry. Favored on stage by rock icons Jimi Hendrix, Van Halen, Paul McCartney and Eric Clapton, among many others, Les Paul electric guitars were the heart and soul of the rock and roll revolution. Invented in 1941 by legendary jazz guitarist Les Paul, the solid-body electric guitar ushered in a new era in music. Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page once said of Les Paul, He’ the man who started everything. He’ just a genius.
When Gibson introduced the Les Paul Studio Electric Guitar in 1983, it quickly became the most popular model in the Les Paul Series. Featuring all the essential elements of the legendary Les Paul Standard, the Les Paul Studio Electric Guitar provides the same rich yet cutting tones that are the hallmark of these exceptional instruments at a fraction of the Standards cost.
The simple yet elegant design of the Les Paul Studio Electric Guitar features dynamic 490R and 498T Alnico 2 magnet humbucker pickups mounted on a beautifully carved maple top with a rich mahogany back. The elegant rosewood fretboard sports trapezoid inlays for a great on-stage look. Dual volume and tone controls with Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar give you total command of your sound. The Les Paul Studio Electric Guitar comes in an excellent range of colors and a choice of either chrome or gold hardware that allows you to define your onstage image. It also comes with a durable Gibson hardshell case for maximum protection.
