All user reviews of 5/5 for the Gibson Les Paul Studio

Les Paul guitar Nashville with Mahogany body with tone chambers and solid maple table. The handle is mahogany and rosewood (I think) in 50's Rounded.
Power level was a 498T bridge pickup and neck pickup 490R.

UTILIZATION

This is an LP so ergonomics is no longer present, in terms of weight that is relatively acceptable, the string action is set fairly basic and the game is pretty nice.
Level finish, I will not complain guitar is beautiful.

SOUNDS

A powerful and effective sound, ideal for good riff rock. I play with my PB and mo amp Amp FX and the result is terrible. Its very typical rock with a warm grain. The guitar shows limits on the nag but at the same time it is not his field, I have a Godin Redline for that.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been 6 months since I played with and I'm still in love, bought used in superb condition, it is for me the guitar I play the most. I had the opportunity to play on a standard LP 60s and personally I prefer mine, the weight makes them more manageable and the sound is more straight forward.

Everything has already been said.

I wanted to add that level against finished, I had to redo some modifications on the pickguard so that it is fully seated and not hit against the table every time I put my hand on it.

UTILIZATION

Weight heavy enough but we made it quickly, I personally do not feel more.
on the other hand, when it comes to lugging in his hut, after a while it becomes VERY heavy! But hey, we console quickly by saying that a les paul in his hands.

The neck is perfect for me! I love it, I feel I put my hand on a cushion whenever I play, though it may not please everyone.

SOUNDS

The sound is great for what I play! I play mostly rock, with a big, fat sound, the bridge pickup is perfect for this style! We feel that in "as a pick!"
However, I find a little molasson 490R, it lacks attack and volume output for my taste.

OVERALL OPINION

A perfect guitar for my game, with a handle is great microphones that send the block!

usa gibson les paul studio ...

conventional manufacturing gibson lp, mancge mahogany neck, rosewood key with pearl rectangles, mahogany body and maple table .. without bindings (white lines along the body)

2 humbuckers are both bold and incisive. perfect for blues, rock, hardcore, funk, pop, jazz .. why not and even metal. the sound is very balanced and easily takes a central place in the mix.

this guitar is a must for a solo blues, rock and funk-soul .. big sound very fat, with a strong presence and low-medium warm.

the handle is wider than that found in fender, but remains relatively "thin" for a gibson. the binding makes it very fluid.

UTILIZATION

the handle is very nice, and little tiring.

it is a gibson lp, so this is access to acute or tapping, it is not as comfortable with one or charvel lag .. but this is not the main objective. (I say this for the "modernist-purists" .. I personally do not like the sleeves square Ibanez Jem, and I take my foot to play the van hauling a LP .. but I regret that there is no affordable LP with floyd!)

Another downside: you have to be tough, it weighs! it is better to start with a big padded shoulder strap (leather yen too ugly): at the beginning, I wanted not one hour standing with the guitar! => = Répets muscle.

Gets it easy to sound good? ... yes, it is a plug n play guitar:
and you plug it sounds. and of course with a compressor and a wah, a phaser or chorus, it's huge. let alone OD or distortion who sing the guitar. the sound is balanced, but I avoid the neck pickup on the rhythm is too loaded bass. by a lead against greasy lover or solo kills.

SOUNDS

I play on a hughes & kettner attax 100 preamp and a lamp mfx VOX TONELAB ..
and some native plugins on inxtruments guitar rig or ik multimedia AmpliTube

As stated above, the sound goes from "hot" to "fat" and ç'est well balanced ..
but it sure is the opposite of a telecaster with birch handle!

OVERALL OPINION

I have 10 years and I have tried almost everything .. I had strato, Tele, ES, flying v, explore .. U.S. and other rosewood handles or birch

all sold (each time to buy something else ..!) except LP gibson epiphone and explore.

a gibson is not given, but its worth it. if you have the dosh and that is the sound you are looking for, do not hesitate to lasseras you do not!

but models are "cheap" in Gibson lately I do not know if there are mods, passke wood prices and wages have not declined in states it seems .. and the dollar as much.

gibson rocks!

Gibson Les Paul Studio manufactures in the United States
Annes 90 - trs heavy trs his stable, incredible sustain.

Two humbuckers: the 498T in bridge (see opinion) and 490R in the neck pickup, both of trs good microphones.
Gibson Bridge PBBR 020; mcaniques rcupres grover on a gibson standard.
Mahogany neck with key al trs beautiful rosewood, 22 frets.
1 volume and 1 Tone by micro, slecteur 3 positions.
It lacks a microphone simple indeed to find some sounds I spend on other more versatile guitar.
The violin is SERIES but trs correct.

UTILIZATION

The handle "tree trunk" Designed specially for bcherons is a highway. In fact, the ergonomics are good trs, the frets are enjoyable. Access in sharp notches is facilitated by a profile silky.
The weight of the guitar Whereas (prvoir a wide strap), but a guarantee of sound quality. Indeed, on essaysrcemment MODELS I t surprised by the lgret the body (is it of mahogany? Have I thought for a moment and demand it was a modification bnfique ... For Paul alone: ​​the sound dplu me.
Whereas I do so more weight as a inconvnient.

SOUNDS

Trs round neck pickup, I used for voicing for jazz clean sounds that require the grave. The bridge pickup is sharp, I have long been used for the metal and trs is good, only a DiMarzio or a Duesenberg take my mind the comparison. May be a little chtif for clean sounds you want crystal (it is a question that I go simple micro for versatility on the instrument, but this requires making a dfonce and good, c is just a sacr Gibson) ...
We can use the 490R into overdrive (or crunch) for a more stoner is convincing.
I attack many amps, sometimes in just a Joemeek between Cubase and more often a Jmp-1 - Mesa Boogie 2:50 about HP Hughes & Kettner. Whatever the legalization rcupre what you want it, the pickups are good trs.

OVERALL OPINION

I play this instrument for over ten years, but I have not abandoned my old Yamaha because it possde a floyd (I frquente certainly not assiduously). I also played on Agile 8 string as well as a fender in frne (the one with the famous Duesenberg micro, so musical).
For the price (just over 3000 francs era) I do not hsit long.
The ease of the handle (a binding Reduces tune a bit more) is a combined sensation that I do not connate elsewhere: it fits easily into the ropes (right hand more flexible, because chewing gum a little groovy and warm) and they sound until we shall adopt the no. Channel driver? It is as if c'tait useless, as it is al.
If I were stolen, I Rasht one, yes, but not new: it seems that rcents The models are less well made, the woods are in Tuve SCHS or whatever what else. No nostalgia for lower Tagus, but these old sr (not so much by the way) taient guitars assembled with more care twenty years ago.

Guitar factory in the United States. Body and 22 frets Mahogany neck, button Ebne, medium frets ... Like all the Les Paul, it is heavy the matron. 2 HB pickups (498T and 490B).
What's classic!
Mine in 1991, she possde a acastillage dor which partially cleared out ... some do not like but I think it has charm as a. .. nothing beats a avcu guitar.
Look sober (wine red finish) suggesting the veins of the table. The handle is built for the loggers, they may even feel some twigs Exceeds ... (not just kidding).

UTILIZATION

The weight of the Les Paul may still be the only black ... and not the Studio n'chappe RULES. The poor sitting balance that allows the instrument to switch from cot body requires time to adapt to find the correct position of the game .. but then got used to it quite easily ... and then play standing up, not bad too.
The size of the handle can Drout some, too, requires men to paw out the master (whatever!), It is far from the profile of Asian highways clbres or m I still others amricaines Chres Randy ... but we can do many things on it. I use a deep draft of strings for better stick to the spirit of the guitar, I do not for one of the virtuosos of the instrument, but a Gibson is not made to handle dbouler unbelievable speed .. is only a gibson you dcoller finger skin!

SOUNDS

Whether on an amp lamps (ENGL 30W), a transistor (Peavey Bandit 112 gnration Transtube before), or even directly in a pod, we have the Gibson sound. Not the prcis all, but the spirit is l. The micro granular desire is serious, it dgouline greedily, it makes you cry the amp.
The microphone is acute insist, violent, full of harmonics and what a pleasure ....!!!
The sounds are typs, cantons few styles (blues sound very fat and very heavy) but you get what you are entitled to expect from a Gibson. Not the most versatile ... but it is trs what to do.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 years. She has an uncle who is now part type beef with jimi, stevie and other ...
I love this shovel, his look, all the scars that make it an instrument part. She has me and has no price.

Made in the United States
Two double mic 490B and 498T (microphones commonly used on the Les Paul)
A selector 3 positions, one for each microphone and to couple the two
knob a flight and a micro tone.
Channel not so big, depending on taste. It is far from invincible

UTILIZATION

Access to acute certainly a little hard but I speak good treble very high in the neck
On the issue of weight, it's correct this problem because my date of July 2004 so the model is ultra new and so I was very pleasantly surprised at the weight. It is very very slight, I compared with the oldest studio of a friend and therefore it is undeniable, bcp mine is lighter.

SOUNDS

I think this guitar charm bcp its big range of sounds. Only by having acquisition and played on this guitar that I realized what a power chord
So the big pickup bcp oriented rock and the neck pickup is bcp softer more pastel, very nice for jazz and blues
I am very very happy with the sound of this guitar

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 1 month on a home triamp mk2 Hugh and Kettner
I had the opportunity to play on bcp very different models of guitars and this price is the best I could find.
I bought it new in Germany 1000euros
If I hesitate to do it again absolutely not.

Grat United States with the same CHARACTERISTICS any other Studio

UTILIZATION

Has my Premire surprise his touch: what Ouhahahah flexibility, I felt more play, not to mention her, but hot prcis both a joy ...
A default well-known weight. But a Les Paul lgre is it still a Les Paul and is not a guarantee of solidity

SOUNDS

Of the Varitoche mtal, Blues in Reggea, Jazz to Rock ...
You can do everything with a Les Paul!!
Even with a small amp (Peavey Rage 158), there's a too well, I must solemnly declare.
So I talk even when no plugs into an amp lamp! A A A A

OVERALL OPINION

was going to do my three years Grat delights me every day and really j'hsite reconnatre City Hall ...
T I a fan of Strat before becoming fully dpendant of my Les Paul and I confess that personally I prfre Gibson, more playable, warmer sound easier apprcier .
Nevertheless it is true that for a long concert, it's not IDAL (weight, weight tooujours ...)

A United States, then immediately made mieu
22 frets. Guitar pickups gibson team of two: a 490R (neck or rhythm in English) and 498T (acute or treble in English) as the Gibson Les Paul Standard
A round profile 59 ', so quite late for a gibson

UTILIZATION

Channel trs enjoyable, easy to play a gibson, but of course not as thin as ibanez not ex
Yes it is a bit heavy, but you must know what they want: a wooden crate guitar or a gibson so heavy but that sounds good ...

SOUNDS

Little while to play beginners because the les paul prvu silent for jazz, but it excels in the old school fat. In fact all the amp dpend will DRIRE: If you pull up a big stack 4X12 cranked, you Alez you hit the head against a wall and break everything ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for three years and I can tell you that she has never and it's never had a problem.
Of course it is not worth a les paul standard or custom, but the sound is still in the same spirit and is close to paradise
For the price there is no better now

My Les Paul is 1990 and t makes the United States. 2 pickups with chrome cover. Chevalier micro cordier.Selecteur 3 positions.

UTILIZATION

The handle is a bit pais but you get it quickly. Access in acute is correct. It is difficult enterme balance weight which makes it somewhat enjoyable sitting at stake. It is quite heavy but when you buy this type of guitar, it is done knowingly.

SOUNDS

Plutt I play blues, rock and blues rock with a small Kustom amp KGA15 (to train is not too bad). The neck pickup is awesome, we get a really top heat, it is clear that both saturated. The bridge pickup is not bad for sound sharper.

OVERALL OPINION

I possde this guitar for 6 years and I do not regret my choice. I like the sounds, the handle and rglages effective, well obviously it is heavy and the holding of agreement could be better but just to play with her little default forgive him. I once had an rplique stratum, comfort was better but I was looking for other sounds. I bought this as an opportunity to Gibson in 99 4500ff. I would, even without the hsiter. on the other hand try before it is not for all the music.

Makes the United States has nashville
22 fret two humbuckers 490R 498T
Tune o matic
glue stick Profile 50

UTILIZATION

Handle very pleasant and accessible to acute is correct without the need to admit it. the weight is heavy when playing for hours it feels.
the sound is awesome! incredible! the two microphones of the Pearl
I put 9 because of the weight

SOUNDS

But versatile enough for rock blues ... I play soul funk blues and much of this guitar suits me quite.
I play with a little amp peavey 10 watt and the sound is great n I imagine not even with a tube amp!

OVERALL OPINION

I have the past few months. it is to buy 890 euros in 2004 as new. for me There is no picture to compare with fender strato etc ... c is the sound that I had.
I remake that choice without a moment's hesitation.
this guitar is a jewel!!

Guitar factory in the United States, handle 22 frets, pickups Gibson PAG 490 & 498. Standard Easel lespaul stop bar. 2 volume 2 tone. Channel 59 les paul type

UTILIZATION

Channel trs enjoyable, it should be noted that I am an aficionado of the stratocaster, I am surprised at the trs easy to play this guitar (except the weight that is heavy trs trs) .
Accs in acute low ais (like all Lespaul, the heel is trs pais).
As mentioned above, is a heavyweight -> Mahogany
Excellent, the micro bonneur serious trs round, singing (IDAL for jazz, blues rock). Micro acute trs biting good in distortion -> registry: from blues to hard.

One note: This is a fabulous guitar and trs good report quality price chances but we must admit that to play the Dire Straits in the clear (like Sultans of Swing), this guitar is absolutely not suited e. .. of characters or the complmentaire stratocaster.

SOUNDS

As mentioned above, The sound of a Strat complmentaire., May be more prcis and certainly much more open than a stratocaster.
Peavey Classic 30 on, it's all good, sounded a poit that's it!

Preferences for a clean sound on the neck pickup or a saturation lgre (gender Cheap Sunglasses ZZ Top)

OVERALL OPINION

I've had three weeks, it's my Premire Gibson (20 years before stratocaster)

I am captivated by the sound.

On occasion, excellent quality price, against nine in 1500 euros, I think it's too expensive especially taken care that the finish is not terrible.

Guitar factory in the us, body and mahogany set neck, rosewood fingerboard 22 frets.
Rglages 4 buttons (2 volumes, 2 tones) and a microphone selector 3 positions.
2 alnico humbucker pickups 490R and 498T (real killings)
pais round, but comfortable and reassuring (question and usually got)
about the look, I love the shapes Les Paul, but we must admit that the finishes are quite grossires (varnish pais particular) for the price, actually quite lev (you pay a high price for the brand!)

UTILIZATION

Personally, I find this guitar reassuring all levels. the handle is certainly thick and round, but once you get used to it apprcie to have it under control. Access in is not the most acute ais (li is the shape of the guitar) but I do not unduly drang (I use my strat if the mood takes me to do solos). in terms of weight, yes it is heavy, but once again I found a reassuring, especially since the coup, we feel the vibrations when it emits a little push sound. I find it a pleasurable, allows a much better of being one with the instrument. However, it is true that after some time playing with standing, it feels like a tired back, but for me it is not the default one (especially since I often play sitting) since the weight of the instrument also has consquences on his part and what makes great "sound" and Paul! Rglages on, no problem, the four knobs (volume and Tone for each of the microphones) provide a rglage prcis for each configuration, so that I soon found trs sound my convenience. Only small default, the welds of micro slecteur do not seem optimal, since the problem of contact have repeatedly manifests (ditto on the jack between the way). on the other hand, unlike other opinions, I find the quality of mcaniques acceptable for "non-self-locking", the guitar well into the agreement. Anyway, I had no problem with the dsaccordage frquent.

SOUNDS

Here we are essentially sound! that is gargantuan and an incomparable prsence forget all the little default and lack of care for the finishes. the bass is deep, the highs are not nasal short, this skyscraper has a sound and a true prsence personal coronation personality, I like the sound fat and a little bit grimey we have in the ct warm distortion and clean sound. With my amp lights Peavy classic 30, I really found the sound I was looking for, no matter what the configuration of microphones utiliss (I use all the mic positions, with preferences for neck pickup), the 490R and 498T pickups are real killing! I think the scratches can cover absolutely all styles of music (provided it's just a search of the same typ trs deep and rather fat), from jazz to mtal, passing well s r by the blues and rock, two areas of prdilection. A wonder

OVERALL OPINION

I used this guitar since 2000 (I bought used 4000F, it dates from 1996) and I made the c. .... ie to sell it against a PRS that I was not satisfied. So, I plan to buy me one as soon as possible so I miss THIS SOUND (my strat unfortunately does not fill the whole range of sounds). When I tried this guitar, a aa t rvelation, a lightning strike, so it matched what I rvais noise level. I tried several guitars (Washburn N2 in a feeble and rglages its limits, an SG to its more "flat" (less sustain and depth) that got my Les Paul, and a PRS) and, except for the stratum in another register, none filled me as I look forward therefore to buy me one, and even if the relative quality of finishes / price is certainly excessive, it seems to me also as justification given the rich sound of the instrument.

- In what country does she makes? (United States, Japan, Mexico, France ...)
Made in America

(No vibrato, but we can manage without aisment)

The rest I do not know but it's prcisment SUPER QUALITY!

UTILIZATION

Yes it tro easy to play on this guitar!

- Access in acute (dernires freight) is it easy?
Carment, thanks the notch on the body of the guitar.

- Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
The handle does not fall forward when you play standing up (with Lanir) because it PSE even when its weight .. a can be a default, but frankly a will ..

- Gets it easy to sound good? ...
DEFINITIONS In this guitar has excellent sound, even on a crappy amp .. I use a personal trs old Peavy (nothing to do with the big shit they do maintenent), and it's beautiful ... when we experienced the sound of Gibson, we find that all the other guitars are nazes ..

SOUNDS

- Appropriate are your style of music?
Well .. Rock in any sense, but perfect for mtal c, even the hard chpakoi, but it's something to sigh for jazz, blues, in short all possible styles ..

- With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?
An old Peavy Studio Pro 112 is impeccable .. (But which has nimporte sounds serious)

- What kind of sound you get and with what rglages ("crystalline", "bold ",....)?
His aggressive (but not pte ears like fender ..) on the micro or bottom warm and round the top of the microphone is nikel .. and with a good BOSS GT-8, we really like it ..

OVERALL OPINION

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
Eyes closed .. (Except that I would take another color to change ^ ^)

Well, apart from the mechanical to shit, I also have a tone that crachouille a bit.

UTILIZATION

Guitar heavy and unbalanced; When you play standing up, the body is down and head back, so that you end up with the guitar at an angle, giving a unique style. Channel super nice. I love it!

SOUNDS

It all depends on the amp. But I think this guitar is very versatile. I use a Tonelab, and depending on the amp selected, I can do a funk rhythm, arpeggios cool, devastating distortion, jazzy atmosphere. Perfect. Unless you want the sound SRV, Hendrix ...

OVERALL OPINION

Apart from the weight and mechanical, it is great. I love it.

Gibson Les Paul Studio made in United States
22 frets
2 humbucker pickups, 2 volume knobs, 2 tone
3 positions (micro acute, severe and both)
Set neck.
Violin in C style format with arched body
Metal parts (pickups, bridge) are golden

UTILIZATION

Level game is fantastic, I love thin and tall frets. No one else got as much satisfaction on this point. It's easy to play blues and rock phrasing or more are easily shredder. Against access by the sharp point is not strong.

The neck is very thick, so it remains to see if it suits you. Personally I think we get used to it very well, the hand is in position callee blues. Position in jazz that is not annoying for my taste. Basically when moving from one guitar to handle an end to this one it's a shock. But in the end you get used to. Try it anyway because it is part of the factors to consider when buying.

The guitar is well known, is heavy. It is not a problem while sitting biensur (even if less comfortable than a Start), but better off standing a thick strap.

Indeed on this point I would note that the straps must be avoided with regular tips in leather. These are deformed and the metal fittings designed to attach said strap are too small to hold the strap.

My guitar and fell heavily twice and given the weight, it has done harm. Thus provide a strap that snaps and the problem is solved.

The C-shape is also easily fall when the guitar laying back on an amp. Always ask the front (or better put in Cases, Hard preferred).

Note also that there is a little weak in the head, because of the different falls of mine broke twice to this place. In short it is an instrument that requires the utmost care. Unfortunately I have never been so damaged that a guitar there and it's enough to want it. At the same time it's the one I used most and blows directly into it due to its weight and low ceilings of the garages which were repeated at the time.

SOUNDS

On this point there is so much to say that I would add just need to try it.

The sound is truly sublime. I played several guitars but I keep coming back to this one. As it is a good strat a rare and versatility suitable for many styles: blues, jazz, rock, hard, metal, etc..

Quite simply, with any amp it sounds. The sustain is huge and the heat generated single notes.

Micro Acute distortion, mind-blowing that is accurate, the palm muting style heavy metal sounds of hell.

The neck pickup gives a clear sound that I love personally. Satus the leads are fabulous at this position.

Only the intermediate position that I never use.

If you know one ringing guitar, it will reward you well. As against the contrary I have already try this with people who scratch, did not say a staggering level, and the sound was absolutely awful, to believe that the instrument was not the same.

OVERALL OPINION

This guitar I bought end 95 in Luxembourg, I was just 15 years. I had a cheap guitar before and since this instrumenet fascinated me, I wanted to move to the higher category. Upon entering the store I came across this Les Paul and I have wanted to let go. Which had a good time to pass the vendor (who farted not a word of French or Luxembourg for that matter).

And I have never regretted that choice, even years after. I got it for 800 € at the time. The price / quality ratio was therefore no question then.

The only thing I regret is not having been able to take enough care (due to points mentioned above).

It is also to me the most beautiful instrument in the world.

Basically a love story that lasts for more than 10 years.
