The Gibson Les Paul Studio is made in the USA and is truly one of the best guitars ever made. It has two pick ups with tone and volume knobs for each, as well as a switch to choose between the pick ups. It's a basic set up, but one that has been copied over and over again.
UTILIZATION
The neck of the Gibson Les Paul Studio is extremely fluid and the guitar is very easy to play. It is easy to play all around the neck, including the top notes, which makes it easy to rip solos high up on the neck. The guitar isn't extremely light, but isn't all that heavy either. It is very easy to get a good sound from the Gibson Les Paul Studio, and the tones are pretty versatile to boot.
SOUNDS
The Gibson Les Paul Studio is great for pretty much any type of music, but excels in rock and pop music. I usually plug this guitar into a '76 Fender Twin Reverb amp, but it will really sound great no matter what amp you are using and will also sound good either clean or with some overdrive or other effects. Overall, an awesome sounding guitar that has a tone all of its own.
OVERALL OPINION
I've been using the Gibson Les Paul Studio for about five years and all of the hype about how great this guitar is is definitely true. I love the sustain and full bodied sound that I get with this guitar, whether it be for recording or for live shows. The Gibson Les Paul Studio isn't cheap, but it is designed for professionals who want the best guitar they can get. Even though it is expensive, it is still attainable for the serious musician. Overall, the Gibson Les Paul Studio is a classic guitar that every guitarist should try out.
