Description
The Gibson Les Paul Studio Session in Iguana Burst takes the familiar Les Paul formula and adds modern playability features along with a striking finish that highlights the carved AA figured maple top. If you want the depth and sustain of a classic Les Paul but prefer a lighter, more versatile instrument for regular playing and recording, this model delivers exactly that. The Iguana Burst finish gives the guitar a bold look while keeping the traditional Les Paul silhouette intact.
The Ultra Modern weight-relieved mahogany body helps keep the instrument comfortable without sacrificing the warm midrange and sustain Les Pauls are known for. A set mahogany neck with a SlimTaper profile feels fast and easy to navigate, and the bound ebony fingerboard with a 12 inch radius and 22 medium jumbo frets provides a smooth surface for both rhythm playing and expressive bends. The Modern Contoured Heel improves access to the upper frets, making solo work feel more fluid across the entire neck.
A '57 Classic neck pickup and '57 Classic Plus bridge pickup provide vintage-inspired humbucker tones with clarity and strong output. Each pickup has its own volume and tone control, and the push pull electronics expand the tonal range significantly. Coil tapping on the volume controls offers brighter single-coil style sounds, while the tone controls provide phase switching and Pure Bypass for a direct bridge pickup signal path. With Grover Rotomatic tuners, an aluminum Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge, and aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece, the guitar stays stable and resonant. We like this one because it gives you the essential Les Paul voice along with the flexibility and comfort that modern players appreciate.
