All user reviews for the Gibson Les Paul Studio

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

Good on paper this LP gre lot: beautiful woods, made in good microphones and USD.
I will not repeat the dtail, see below.

UTILIZATION

So it's the other thing: the guitar is a LP studio finishing trs simple (I want to say plutt mdiocre ...). The main problem is at its handle, fairly thick and wide, I find no binding trsdsagrable use: it's hard to walk around on the stick and the CASC to acute is harder than on other LP.
The body is quite nice but the same, we feel that the finish is not trs shoot, the lacquer layer Paisse only accentuated the impression of "coarse"

SOUNDS

L is plutt got a story. I test a Mesa Triple Rectifier stack and personal well I find the sound a bit messy, not trsdfini. This is a history of preferences, it may agree some looking for a little saturation "grimey".

OVERALL OPINION

Trs trsdu this guitar. I think it has the name of Gibson, for me it's a guitar sham "and yeah I have a Gibson guitar Made in America" ​​while his finishing is not an Epi LP suprieure standard. The craziest is that cete guitar s'achte new for 1500!
APRS this test I took out my Epi LP Custom Ace Frehley (DiMarzio) and I connected to the mesa and well y'avais no photos, distos were much cleaner, the sound more Dfine The finish much nicer and comfortable to boot. The owner of the studio could not get him to hallucinate and even the sound of the Epi.
In conclusion, we must really try and love this guitar and its distinctive sound before you buy. Do not buy especially not by saying: "I have not in the standard for when I take the studio"; surtoutr for 1500, even as a still super expensive for what it is. If you want good sound for 1000-1500 Les Paul, buy an Epi LP custom plutt + and keep only the (beautiful) violin and change pickups and hardware (or electronic). You will come out for 600 for the scratches and you put as much as you want in the upgrade (400 parat trs has me well) and the output you get a wonderful guitar with a sound that hard.

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.

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!!

Gibson makes the United States, she wants a version "less luxurious" of the "Standard"
Body and handle (al mahogany, rosewood fingerboard, 2 humbuckers Gibson 498T & 490R served by 2 vol and 2 tone. Fixed bridge, slecteur 3 positions, mechanical Gibson Deluxe.
Mine is a specially SERIES, black hardware with a touch dor especially bne.
It's really short but dpouill aa charm.

UTILIZATION

Ergonomics is the main problem of this guitar: no bevels, guitar poorly balance (ct leans right), weight consquent, sharp enough to not so good.
In points ngatifs it should be noted also that the mcaniques in that they are not autoblacantes, impose many racordages and the microphones slecteur quite difficult to ACCS.
However for the comfort it's perfect left hand (in my case).
This is the second time I find one that suits me perfectly round as though the guitars I've tried many (Vigier, Lag, United States Jackson, Music Man, ESP, Fender, Ibanez). THE FIRST c'tait with a Music Man silhouette.
All the plans that did not go out on my Lag Beast pass here without problem, it's amazing how a simple change of scratches can affect the game

SOUNDS

The sound is with the comfort of the handle my main selection criteria in the purchase of a scratch, and I can say that a ring!
the microphone produces sound serious round and warm, ideal for plain phrass jazz as saturated. Intermdiaire position is exploitable in many books but gives her best even for its rhythmic and arpges clear.
The bridge is sending double the sauce, it is not done too much for clean sounds, however saturated by the sounds are trs beautiful, round and fat.
There is just saturated mtal trs o he loses a little precision, but I think a change of micro dsagrment overcome this.
In the absence of split, the sound palette is quite limited and limmite styles temperatures requiring the roundness in the sound, which is not a problem since I have not bought to funk.

OVERALL OPINION

This is an excellent guitar, with all its "small" default.
The sound and comfort of the handle to outweigh its lack of ergonomics.
The Les Paul has his characters who Difference from all other guitars and that's good. It complte Fawn idalie a stratum for which a search for sounds ct dlicats and the other sounds plush and drooling.
Regarding the price, correct a few years ago, it became a bit expensive (1500).
On the other hand used it must surely be some good deals.

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.

Studio 93 black, with button bne, tun o matic, two pots of volume 2 tone pots, in short a studio

UTILIZATION

Handle well off but super comfortable, everything went very smoothly, good grip, it is true that the treble is a bit difficult to ACCS but I do not explore too notes that register not specially to influence on my game
As we know, a Les Paul is heavy, but hey, no surprise, as we know it and done with.

Time to get srieuses, the sound, because in sum, is the sound that prdomine. Then it sends the wood as it were, biensur you do not play very much in the courtyard of a standard or more, but there's everything you need, looked after a serious death to be warm , and acute super enjoyable, but with a fairly rapid loss of precision with overdrive.
Well, basically, a good rglage amp, all knobs donf has to send the signal that it is Guinguand and forth, the sound is l.

SOUNDS

I wanted a warm and couillu well, here I am served on a plate, I tl possde also a double with 2 seymour a dj who's pretty hot, but it is not even comparable.

For my chain of effects I use a compressor Marshall, an MXR Overdrive and Wild Echo Park Line 6, in terms of the amp, for reasons of nomadism chronic I'm a little forced to limit myself to Tonelab a (very well that being said regarding the formulations). While it works wonderfully in the compressor Inrush rgl quite violent, it is assumed in Larcen trs quickly without any dchirent purposes.

I used to almost everything I play (rock prog French sauce, sisi possible), large couillus agreements, arpges fat, notes planing, solos. There's that for arpges or I need an overdrive or prcis and it has its limits, of the sudden I reszsort tl at the same time a Grat can not do everything , you ask for a sampler of fully restoring a piano concert ... I feel the blow pushed 10

OVERALL OPINION

I have a few days, and the mouth piece of a change carrment is exactly what I was looking like her, thank you Gibson, for against less thank you for the price, luckily bought in OCCAZ 950 euros in a perfect state, I come out wrong.

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.

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.

Objective approach:

Mahogany body
Table in Saddle
Mahogany collbr /> Rosewood
Price 1,300 euros
Subjective approach

The guitar is INTERESTED see. Plutt pretty far, it is less Russian approach. Sanding and finishing of the frets, coating can be improved if not flawed.

Big manquo at the painting on the cloth that dteint microfibre when rubbed. A bit like the transparent varnish was applied on the paint does not allow time for this dernire Scher.

(2) Not spectacular in this price range, it makes a serious default does not forgive.

UTILIZATION

The handle is plutt enjoyable if we ignore the crimp. Include a comprehensive ergonomics standard Les Paul with the default inhrents and ask to be accepted by the consumer.

Plutt sensual touch is generally potentiomtres and 2 of volume and tone are practical Defines its sound.

The guitar has a tendency to brand dsacorder trs. Harmonics n'taient not RULES. The bridge n'tait not prpar and has eaten two sets of strings trs shortly.

SOUNDS

The guitar sounds good. In the registry clean you get a nice clear that TRS can be used as references. Crunches are fleshy and deep. I would put a little distortion on the BMOL hard-I too Whereas torture of del 8 / 10 potentiomtre of the race.

OVERALL OPINION

the problem endlessly.

The sound quality is certainly good and the quality of a violin indniables. But these points do not allow this instrument dcoller the final grade. The problem relates above are unacceptable. Expect an after-sales service imbued with that believes itself to know everything and you reoit amabilis with a troop of CRS a G8 summit and you get a rsultat frustrating.

I can not imagine the young man who goes to work all the t to pay for this thing.

UTILIZATION

The handle is enjoyable, the same color as the body. It is a little larger than the other guitars (fender strato, Squier ...). The bend is easier to do with my other guitar (Yamaha Pacifica 112), one can make aisment three semitones.
CHAC is relatively easy to acute (not perfect but already well-trs).
This gives a good sound trs! Just SOON grant, the solos are easier to do than on my Yamaha. Agreements Sotres property, as Artificial harmonics (the conduct of the screw at the neck pickup with the doight). In short perfect or if it was not the weight a tad heavy (very acceptable for a les paul), and handle a tad too big.

SOUNDS

It offers good sound but the TRS agreements kinds lens too if you play with a lot of shaking. I use a Marshall MG30DFX, a Vox 30 watt and 30 watt fender. The guitar comes trs property suits the style of tous.Elle Rock, Pop, Heavy-Metal (finally acceptable), Country (yes!), And Jazz.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two weeks, and I'm thrilled! I love this mixture of white black and gold. Prmire the time I received his check, she silent beautiful! I clean the microphone every time you play APRS, PSK it dirty quickly, and I always range in his chest. In short she has a good qualitprix (about 1200 on thomann), it has a nice look and sound good, so perfect apartment and handle the weight (see use). I suggest for those / who want buy and eSite.

UTILIZATION

Channel 59 rounded, less than 50 large and thicker than a 60, it suits me perfectly.
Set in a luthier, perfect response to the handle trussrod.
Action flush frets, I had the pot with the handle: 1.8 mm - 1.5 mm at the 12th fret, even without any frisette emphasizing a few (10-46 shooting).

SOUNDS

Haaa ... These microphones are great! More versatile than burstbuckers, they keep the "fat" and Gibson can still fetching big distos while maintaining a sound set.
Endless sustain!

OVERALL OPINION

Excellent model, which is not always the case with current studio.
It was actually reduced from the previous series, which, compared to the support, absolutely does not sound (slightly hollow body has a place) ... Moreover, I like it well, less back pain in sight.
A word of advice: try before buying, this one was in the store and remember the bad models are rarely sent for exhibition (avoid the net ...).

Is it still possible to post an opinion on the Les Paul really brings something to the discussion? I'm not sure, but I'll try to summarize all the positions that you may have with respect to this great instrument.

With regard to the characteristics, know they have varied with time. The les paul from the early 90 had an ebony fingerboard, Gibson then only use the rosewood.

The 90 match at the beginning of the production studio of the series, and also at the time Gibson has no mechanical Gotoh put on the head and ... it was a big mistake! These are actually more expensive (and ugly) as excellent mechanical as Grover that last a lifetime, while they only last 10 years. Like what, the prestige of a trademark does not summarize the manufacturing quality of their instruments.

Few other things to say, less vintage mics sound on a standard (I will return to this later), no binding (the better I always found this process quite ridiculous and expensive for what it brings the final aesthetic), the slice is the same as a standard, the handle is stuck (for better sound in the end).

I have the color ebony good to know: if the les paul was popularized in black at the base, because Uncle Lester was that it would better suit his ... Like what

UTILIZATION

Access to acute: I personally offsets. For me, the LP is not a guitar shredder. I play very often, however, after the twelfth box, but do not feel embarrassed either.

The handle is downright awesome (and it's the first thing that attracted me to this scratch): I have a preference for the ebony fingerboard which is much more difficult and on which slide more easily than the rosewood. That said the sound is loaded with bass, which is not an advantage on a guitar as massive as the LP.

Massive, I said ... Yes it is very heavy. But I think it gives a certain style guitarists who play it, a form of restraint and sobriety in the game scene that avoids some excesses that we observe with love the stratocaster. But it is a pure matter of taste. Note that since 2008, Gibson LP manufactures lighter, much lighter (more enjoyable) but the sound is slightly different: less fat, more sustain and resonance ... I think it's a good thing (unlike the great defenders of the Les Paul), the sound is much more fun.

Rah, do you get a good sound easy? ... NO! It is loud and clear, and I say without question. But it highlights the challenge: make a les paul sound, you will be comfortable on all other guitars (as opposed to a stratum that is far from a guitar teacher). It is also the magic of scratch who played on Paul, because ultimately, it is a tool that completely restores your game. Practice and you'll have a really magical sound, I promise.

SOUNDS

I play with a ENGL savage and I do not use pedals.

The sound of the les paul ... Really indefinable, it is one of the strangest guitars that the land could bear.

We find crystalline cleans (and a little empty) in bridge position and really magical innings. We always say "yeah take for Fender clean" but I protest, the LP stands up very well at this level, and I do not want another scratch for my clean sound!

In crunch it gets really amazing, it grabs the sound of choice riffs, powerful warm, clear ... But this depends heavily on what you plug it! Choose your gear, because we will counterbalance the weight of the scraper with sound material in hi mid busiest.

In saturated fat is both powerful and completely destroy the LP keeps a certain definition, however, some clarity even if the sound tends to twist and from completely balls. In short you will understand, turn the gain with this guitar can change everything!

With regard to the conflict "vintage / modern" I want to make a small note: the Les Paul does not sound "vintage"! You plug it into a Vox AC30 there I want to believe you, but hey do a little list of scratch playing on LP: Bread, Jimmy Page, Green Day, Slash, Indochina, Neil Young, etc.. You see a common thread between these scratch?? I mean, some vintage sound and others do not ... This confirms what I said, this guitar is interdependent with that on which you plug and the way you play. To you to make it sound! As for friends BC Rich, Jackson and others, know that these guitars are made to have a neutral sound: what you hear is the microphone, not the guitar. The Gibson does not sound as can be in your dreams, but they at least have a personality at the violin making, unlike these guitars are so neutral popular among teenagers aged 15 followers of the formula "

In terms of its alleged sustain legendary, I was quite disappointed. Know that there is a way to adjust: the angle between the bridge and the tailpiece should be as large as possible, and similarly, the status of your frets and your nut to sustain final part. As soon as I made the necessary repairs, I edit to say whether it gave a real difference.

For micro ... I was difficult at that level, I asked Seymour Duncan over but hey, the mahogany wood is resistant to a new sound from the microphone so in the end, it has only brought a new sound color to all. This is especially the magnet that will bring a different coloration to the scratch (I do not advocate the alnico 5, it sounds just too weird with the LP). To you to try new combinations ...

OVERALL OPINION

It's been three years since I use it and I really made the rounds ... But something continues to fascinate me in it which I chose to keep it and not switch to a Fender or a Rickenbacker for example ... (Yeah I know, it looks like I'm talking about a chick)

I have often wanted to sell it and buy a different gear, but ultimately I am with, and I prefer to continue to customize rather than start from scratch with a guitar whose sound I tired probablment very quickly.

I advise you, but I would especially recommend to try and be sure before buying it, because with the LP, we are satisfied or very quickly or very quickly disappointed.

The sound as it is extremely clean, especially trs powerful!!
If you have a bad sound with this guitar is that your amp is bad!!

SOUNDS

Sometimes I use it for blues and rock and is also your exact impcable!
The 498R provides a powerful bass sound (blues), the 498T sounds more acute and sharp!
Its clear the sound is clean, has nice ring to it, sounds a amricain !!!!!

This skyscraper is 600 and not more than 300 logo

-This guitar is made in the United States. It was a slecteur-3 positions, one volume knob and one for each Tone pickups. -It has a handle 22 frets, a micro Gibson 490T in bridge and a 490R in the neck. -It has a Tune-O-Matic. -The handle is round and pais. I put 8, when achte a Les Paul is that we know what to expect, nanmoins is true that the ergonomics are not tip-top.

UTILIZATION

-The handle is enjoyable for rhythmician trs was a grip nickel APRS but for a big solo is not the top can be: has become more boring to play the treble, but nothing serious. In addition, the thickness of the neck play a lot in the vibration-General for the instrument and its consquent sustain. Personally, I play on a MODEL trsrcent is dat in 2008 (I bought it in August 2009) so that part is hollow mahogany body for allger the body (see site gibson .) was not yet lgret an ibanez S or a Jackson Dinky but the weight is more than tolerable (personally I'm an ogre, so it poses no problem myself huk huk huk !)-Haha Access in acute dbat the Lord on the Les Paul: No Access in acute is not good nor trs trs flowing, but if it ca you want, direct you to a stratode! This gives very easy-good sound (to get a mauvaix have to force yourself.) I put 8 for Access in acute inconvenient.

SOUNDS

Personally, I play mostly metal, especially Death and Black with my band, I play in a parallle LTD EC500 (body + mahogany + EMG active pickups) I was looking for a second guitar to sound less sharp and more fat more grain and brightness (table Rabl.) The LP Studio filled this task well. So personally, I get a powerful sound, big and Defines: I play a hybrid Randall's very modern and sharp, which characters balance the fat from the Les Paul and gives a sound faith big and bold, sharp, full of grain, bright in the treble but never garish. -The result also sounds very easy crunches hot fat for trs cool stoner (I reminds me to play on a hybrid amp cold and sharp.)-The cleans are warm and harmonious, you can have the lens (relatively warning: it is not a Start) as the trs hot and heavy, remember that the LP is a classic of the arsenal of Bluesmen! -As I said above dj I use a Randall RH300G3 (hybrid lamp / mosfet transo) at the trs cold / sharp / modern and with the Les Paul is hot / fat / vintage was a great balance and a monstrous sound: sharp and large / granular IDAL for a good death or black metal! It comes very easy sounds of Opeth, Dissection, Amon Amarth etc.. I use it sometimes with a Metal Muff Electro Harmonix distortion for metal DLIR less extreme, more heavy / stoner. -I am not able to find sounds frankly detestable. I put the note because it fills me up perfectly!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since August 2009 is three short months which is very little to form an objective opinion, I rviserais my post a few months if needed. "I pretty hsit with the Flying V 67, I also spray a specially LP Faded he and I tried many guitars over the four years I practical instrument, and the LP made me normment effect in early trials, the Studio being the prfrable Faded for me, and much better than the Flying V even if n ' is not really the same instrument. "I love the look of this guitar and its sound is legendary, for cons I found the finish a little lgre for the price, the varnish is fragile and the trs are downright mean mcaniques (but that will change!)-The report quality price is what it is: 1000 euros for the time of purchase, it has a trs good guitar that will age well surely if it is properly maintained and that does not dcoterras 3 years. APRS is an investment in the long run ... CECIS said finishing and MCA are dcevantes.

Mahogany body, curved maple table
Mahogany neck / rosewood fingerboard 22 frets

2 volumes and 2 tones
A 3-position selector
Tune-o-matic / Stop bar tailpiece
Chrome hardware
Color "Red Wine" slightly revealing the wood grain

UTILIZATION

Mine date from 2004
This guitar is quite heavy (nothing to do with the new LP from the market) but you get used when it is well balanced.
The handle is big enough, it's a good "breeze block". I find it great fun to play rhythm or plans Ceratina solo rock but the size of the handle may bother some people.
Easy access to acute and tune-o-matic is great for everything "palm mute", the portion of the hand fits all alone.
The curved table (based on a table violin) is very nice.
The pickups are good, to play rock or metal.

SOUNDS

This guitar is very suitable for rock, hard rock / etc, the sound is a bit greasy but that's what I want.
One can also make the metal with, see extreme metal but in this case we need to change the pickups, the Alnico too I just found for this kind of music.
One can obtain a clear interest in playing with the buttons but overall tone is a guitar that is more for saturation (well at least for me).
The've tried it on the transistor and the lamp, in 2 cases it's still good even if I have a preference for a good old Marshall JCM 900 2-body (I find this config great for rock / Stoner) but it is very well on a small transistor amp (Peavey or other) also play at home.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for around 6 years, I am still very happy.
Before I played on an Ibanez Silver Series and when I plugged in the Les Paul Wow!
I tried an SG Standard, too, the handle is thinner but I prefer my Les Paul sound level.

What I like about it is weight, sonoritée (a little fat with a good gain), the tune-o-matic super nice for the "palm mute", the handle (it is a "breeze block" but a "paraping" pleasant).
The price / quality ratio is very good (890 euros in hand) but watch out for new series that have nothing to do and in my opinion too expensive for what it is (too small and of lower quality finish especially in level of the varnish).
Which can disturb it are big enough stick.
I would definitely do it again this choice

NB: Provide for the strap lock guiatre does not fall with a strap.

description is well established
+ point:
light guitar
sound (even though I actively changing the board microphones! personal I opted for the classic 57 classic and 57 +)

point:
the handle carved with an ax no regular hyper: | and finishes !!!!!!

UTILIZATION

les paul studio 57 + classic vintage sound at a good price guaranteed resonance (at the time)

SOUNDS

I use it for blues, funk, rock, hard rock, jazz (very interesting) by connecting a model fender concert
I mainly use the amp saturation of the boost that I sometimes with a Fulltone OCD
I was looking for a very distinctive grain vintage (paul person, acdc ..) so I changed the original pickups that I found rather impersonal

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since 1995 was my first "real" guitar, les paul remember my first) I had never tried before others.

it can be a good guitar at a reasonable price as long as it customizes some microphones and we take the time to try other

remaining big problems in finishing the series (I hope this slows down the rendering has been resolved), which did not justify such a price

I have been compared with models of vintage models 70 'and c the slap sound and very different anyway! Small studios are less dense so its a less compact
I do not regret my choice but I still got lucky they do not sound all like that
I would save would be to remake one more for a model with more range or into a home to a luthier (c my choice for 2012)

Made in the US, 22 frets if I do not talk nonsense, the rest is a gibson studio 92 what

UTILIZATION

When I bought it at the time, I found it very heavy, but I was immediately seduced by the "gibson", namely, full of serious, sustain, and so on. To the big rock, I have not found better.

Channel super nice when I do a solo on a song, it is what I use. I feel comfortable with it, but obviously, it's been 20 years (devil) that I have, it also plays a lot.

on the other hand, it is not super versatile, you must love his sound and not try to play like a telecaster for example.

SOUNDS

Settings for a long time now, I prefer the simple
guitar - cable amp.

By playing on the volume that I can vary the sound of a fat to almost clear (but beware, once again it is a gibson, even at a volume that task).

For now, I've played on Marshalls JCM, the Mesa Boogie tube and my faith deposit that severe. I hope to make it taste a Orange one day, but it will first deliver my finances afloat ...

OVERALL OPINION

For the low-end Gibson, I have found my guitar, but I play in a blues rock record, hard, rock and roll that lends itself to playing with this guitar, I'm not sure you can use in any style ...

I love his face (burgundy), sound, easy to play on the handle.

I also have a telecaster, a MusicMan Luke II, and a Hagström Viking, but to the Les Paul Studio that invariably when I turn my sound I want to print on a piece of me ...
