Description
The Gibson Les Paul Studio Session in Cherry is built for players who want the core Les Paul sound and feel with thoughtful modern upgrades that make it an easy guitar to live with on stage or in the studio. If you are after the familiar warmth and sustain of a set-neck Les Paul but want something lighter and more versatile, this model fits that role nicely. The Cherry finish over a carved AA figured maple cap keeps the look classic while still feeling fresh.
The Ultra Modern weight-relieved mahogany body keeps the instrument comfortable for long sessions without losing the midrange punch that defines the Les Paul voice. A glued-in mahogany neck with a SlimTaper profile pairs with a bound ebony fingerboard, giving you a fast, smooth playing surface with a comfortable 12 inch radius and 22 medium jumbo frets. The Modern Contoured Heel improves upper fret access, making lead work feel more natural higher up the neck. A '57 Classic in the neck and a '57 Classic Plus in the bridge deliver the rich, balanced humbucker tones players expect from a Les Paul.
Each pickup has its own volume and tone control, and the push pull controls open up a wide range of tones. Coil tap on the volume controls expands the guitar into brighter single-coil style territory, while the tone controls add phase switching and Pure Bypass for a direct bridge pickup signal path. Grover Rotomatic tuners, an aluminum Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge, and aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece keep everything stable and resonant. We like this model because it keeps the essential Les Paul character intact while adding useful flexibility that makes it a reliable choice for almost any style of music.
