The Popular Les Paul Studio in Traditional Format

The Les Paul Studio from Gibson USA has been enormously popular since its arrival to the lineup in 1983, winning fans for its ability to deliver genuine Les Paul features, feel and tone at an unbeatable price thanks to its stripped-down ethos. The Les Paul Studio 2016 T brings it all back in Traditional form, with the added versatility of coil-split switching and historic appointments, plus the Studio’s lack of body and fingerboard binding for a no-nonsense look, all at an unbeatable price for a genuine American-made Gibson electric guitar. The classic tonewood combination of a carved maple top with mahogany back with modern weight relief delivers timeless Les Paul depth, clarity and sustain. Features common to Gibson USA’s 2016 Traditional range include our original neck width of 1 11/16-inch at the nut, historic neck heel shape, standard high-quality manual tuners, a traditional Graph Tech nut, and other details. 490R and 490T humbuckers offer superbly rich vintage-inspired tones with the ability to grind out the highest-gain modern rock, plus coil splitting for authentic single-coil tones. The guitar also has the thicker, one-piece rosewood fingerboard for 2016 with a hand-rubbed oil finish for enhanced beauty and a plush feel, and historic trapezoid inlays. Gibson USA sets up your Les Paul Studio 2016 T so it plays the way any truly great American-made guitar should, right out of the form-fitting hard shell case.
