Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Les Paul Studio Session brings a weight-relieved mahogany body and carved AA figured maple top to Gibson's Studio platform. A glued-in SlimTaper mahogany neck joins a bound ebony fingerboard, with a Modern Contoured Heel for upper-fret access. Its pickup set pairs a '57 Classic at the neck with a '57 Classic Plus at the bridge. Push/pull volume controls handle coil tapping, while push/pull tone controls add phase switching and Pure Bypass. It is a single-cut, right-handed electric guitar for players moving between rehearsal, studio and stage work.
Strong match
Who this is for
