The Gibson Les Paul Studio enhances the solid, proven design of the world"s most famous guitar with a sleek, no-frills look. The Studio Les Paul gives traditional performance with a Modern attitude. Introduced nearly 25 years ago as a guitar for the studio musician, the Les Paul Studio has become one of the most desired Les Pauls for it's tremendous harmonic capabilities. The Studio maintains the iconic Les Paul's traditional elements: a maple top with a matched mahogany back, and a neck crafted from a single piece of mahogany, hand-sanded to perfection, and given Gibson's traditional 50 rounded neck profile. Gibson Les Paul Studio Mahogany Back and Maple Top with Chambered Body Set neck "50s Rounded Neck Profile 22-Fret Rosewood Fingerboard with Nickel/Silver Frets Gibson 490R and 498T Pickups Angled Headstock Adjustable Truss Rod Trapezoid Inlays Tune-O-Matic Bridge Nitrocellulose Finish Read what some of our customers have said: The sound is amazing. You'll sound like a pro just by playing this guitar. -Dennis K. From Shippensburg PA Sounds perfect. I am not changing a thing! -mayes213 From Poseyville, IN I've had a hard time putting it down since I got it. Sounds awesome! -Joe L. from Overland Park The Les Paul Studio is the favorite of guitarists who demand traditional Les Paul performance with a modern look. "50s Rounded Neck Profile No guitar neck profiles are more distinguishable than the neck profiles employed on the Gibson models of today. The more traditional "50s neck profile, found on the Les Paul Studio, is the thicker, rounder profile, emulating the neck shapes of the iconic 1958 and 1959 Les Paul Standards. The neck is machined in Gibson"s rough mill using wood shapers to make the initial cuts. But once the fingerboard gets glued on, the rest"including the final sanding"is done by hand. That means there are no two necks with the exact same dimensions. So while it still has the basic characteristics of its respective profile, each neck will be slightly different, with a distinct but traditional feel. Gibson"s 490R and 498T Pickups The mid to late 1960s saw the emergence of a very different type of music coming from the clubs of England. It was an interpretation of the blues that hadn"t been heard before, and it was much harder, more rocking, and definitely louder than anything else before it. As such, this new genre"s players were demanding more powerful amplifiers with increased volume outputs to satisfy their sonic explorations. This led to a call for a more versatile pickup to split coils through a push/pull knob, and prevent the microphonic feedback that occurs when the volume is turned up to maximum levels. Gibson answered this cal

Gibson Les Paul Junior Electric Guitar; Sleek, simple and played by countless artists from all genres. The ideas for solid body electric guitars were really flowing in the mid-1950s, Gibson took advantage of this by branching out into directions to bring a wide variety of new and innovative Gibson guitars at various price points. One of these new directions was the Les Paul Junior single cutaway, promptly making it their best-selling guitar at the time. The Les Paul Jr has developed quite a bit of Street Cred thanks to it simple use of a single P-90 pick-up with volume and tone controls. The Junior has become a trademark guitar for many artists and legends including Leslie West, Steve Marriott, Keith Richards, Mick Ralphs, Mick Jones, Billie Joe Armstrong and Paul Westerberg. Gibson Les Paul Junior Features Gibson"s Traditional Rounded Neck Profile 22-Fret Rosewood and Ebony Fingerboard Vintage-style Wraparound Tailpiece Classic Dot Inlays One-piece, Solid Mahogany Body and Set-Neck Construction Gibson"s Legendary P-90 Pickup Angled Headstock Adjustable Truss Rod Nickel and Silver Alloy Fret Wire Nitrocellulose Finish The Gibson Logo Gibson"s Traditional Rounded Neck Profile No guitar neck profiles are more distinguishable than the neck profiles employed on the Gibson models of today. The rounded neck profile on the Les Paul Junior emulates the neck profiles most commonly found on Gibson"s iconic Les Paul models of the late "50s. As with all Gibson necks, it is machined in Gibson"s rough mill using wood shapers to make the initial cuts. Once the rosewood fingerboard gets glued on, the rest - including the final sanding - is done by hand. That means there are no two necks with the exact same dimensions. So while it still has the basic characteristics of the rounded neck profile, each neck will be slightly different, with a distinct but traditional feel. 22-Fret Rosewood and Ebony Fingerboard Ebony and rosewood has always graced the fingerboards of the world"s finest stringed instruments, including many of today"s Gibsons. The fingerboards on the Les Paul Juniors are constructed from the highest grade ebony and rosewood on the planet, and are personally inspected and qualified by Gibson"s team of skilled wood experts before it enters the factories. The resilience of these dense and durable woods make the fingerboards extremely balanced and stable, giving each chord and note unparalleled clarity and bite. The 12-inch radius of the fingerboard provides smooth note bending capabilities and eliminates "dead" or "choked out" notes, common occurrences on fingerboards with lesser radiuses. Rosewood fingerboards are available with the Satin Vintage Burst and Satin Cherry finishes, and ebony fingerboards are available with the Satin White finish.
