Description
A step up from previous Les Paul Studio models, the Session features an Ultra Modern weight-relieved mahogany body, making it lighter & more comfortable to play. The carved, AA figured maple cap adds brightness & definition to the overall tone, combining perfectly with the warmth & midrange punch from the mahogany body for that legendary Les Paul sound. The neck features a Modern Contoured Heel for unmatched access to the upper frets & a fast-playing SlimTaper profile. It comes equipped with a '57 Classic pickup in the neck position & a '57 Classic + in the bridge position. Each volume control is equipped with a push/pull switch for coil tapping,. The tone controls are also outfitted with push/pull potentiometers for phase switching when both pickups are used together, as well as Pure Bypass switching that routes the bridge pickup straight to the output jack & bypasses the controls completely for the shortest, purest signal path possible. Professionally set up with fresh strings & low action so it plays & sounds terrific!
