Ever since hitting the streets in 1983, Gibson’s Les Paul Studio has been the ultimate offering of traditional Les Paul performance with a modern, no-frills attitude. Introduced as a guitar mainly for studio musicians, the Les Paul Studio has become one of the most desired – and popular – Les Pauls for its tremendous harmonic and sonic qualities. All of the essential elements of a Les Paul Standard are there, including a carved maple top, solid mahogany back and genuine Gibson humbucker pickups. What the Les Paul Studio lacks in extras, it makes up for in performance.

Guitar Heaven
By P. Amado Montoya
I just aquired a 1997 les paul studio, not on this site but still i wanted to share my experience with potential buyers, i have had a strat since 1998 and thought it was a good guitar, but after 5 minutes on my les paul, there are no words that can describe the feeling....the feel, the sound..., if you cant afford a more expensive les paul, this one will give you the sounds without breaking your wallet, i know i am selling my strat now...there will be no going back for me....you can be sure you are getting the real thing, only without the frills...

Les Paul for a fraction of the cost
By Norman
This studio model has the look and the sound of the standard but doesn't break the bank. Well worth looking into.

Gibson SG Special Electric Guitar,Worn Cherry Satin | Cheap Guitar Shop Online
From Gibson USA

Hands down, the SG Special Faded Worn Cherry is the best combination of features and value in Gibson’s iconic SG line-up. You still get the dynamic, slim mahogany body and hair-trigger quick neck that have made the SG legendary, but without all the non-essentials. The ultra-affordable price tag on this guitar is owed to fewer coats of finish than can be found on the traditional SG Standard and SG Special.

Great Guitar. Just watch the furniture. :)
By JT
I bought this gem of mine in a guitar store, it was floor model and smelled (it still does)a bit like cheap varnish. But it plays great.

The 490 neck and bridge pickups are incredibly powerful and pick up every nuance of your performance. If you're into Van Halen style tapping or just like to hammer-on one handed like Angus Young, this is the guitar for you. This guitar's incredible action will give you incredible speed to which to do it. A big plus is that the pickups will overdrive even a small battery powered amp without deafening the neighbors, which is good if you have to keep it down.

The body is super thin and it's a bit neck heavy, but it's lighter compared to the Epiphone SG with just as much punch. With the Volume/Tone controls of the guitar set to full-blast, it has a heavy metal crunch like no other. It sounds darker than the Epiphone Vintage G-400, and the neck joint isn't as prominent as on the Epiphone which makes hitting the high end that much easier.

With Medium strings and a Extra Heavy celluloid pick (or plectrum if you're techincal about it), it makes a great rock and roll guitar.

Paired with a Solid State amp, it's a great heavy metal guitar as the pickups are quite powerful. I like to plug my guitar directly into the amp with it's distortion up and the pickups do crunch so well I don't need a distortion pedal. Though I do like to throw one in on occasion just for fun.

With a Valve (tube) amp, it packs just as much punch even plugged straight into the amp.

As far as effects go, a Wah-Wah pedal is good if you want to play "Star-Spangled Banner" like Jimi Hendrix, it will blow your mind. On a clean setting you can get a jazzy, blues type motif going as the pickups clean up quite well on a cleaner setting. You still get the razor sharp action like you would with distortion, but with the advantage of clear vibrant notes.

The only downside is that it bangs up quite easily, hence if you plan on jumping around the room, be sure it's not too cluttered. Also, the finish is quite fragile as I discovered when I moved the case off my bed. I forgot to zip down the lid and the poor guitar jumped out and hit my dresser. It landed on the bottom strap button and left a small but clean crack in the varnish on the back, since my floor is tile and concrete. It could have been worse, but it still plays like the day I walked out the store with it, so it's not too much if you have to baby more than others.

In all it's a great guitar and with a little TLC, it can last you a lifetime.

Great Les Paul Primer
By Richard Prokopchuk
The LP Handbook is a great primer for people new to the Les Paul and thinking of getting one. It's a great quick reference guide for those same people who want to take care of their guitars themselves and not pay high rates at the local guitar repair shop. In that same context however, it's great for folks who need to look up one particular thing. The facts aren't strewn all over the place, they are in one neatly organized area. Why read through repairing Fenders or Guilds to get to the good stuff? Super book. Lester should be proud. Did I say great enough times ??

wonderful test for the gibson guitar family
By Scott W. Oleniczak
This book in intended for entry through intermediate guitar repair along with bits of history on the creation of Les Paul guitars. Very good book and even better priced. I'm definitely happy to own this book.

The Gibson ES-137 Classic Electric Guitar
When Gibson’s carved-top guitar luthiers in Memphis began building the magnificent ES-137 Classic in 2002, it was an instant success that lived up to its name. The ES-137 is an instant "Classic" because it combines the glories of two classic styles of Gibson cornerstone instruments. Players sang--and still sing--its praises, citing the ES-137 Classic's great feel and gorgeous appearance, as well as its astonishing sonic versatility, from the smooth, round, clean tones required for old-school jazz to the snarl and distortion of cutting edge rock.
