Crucial elements of the Les Paul Studios design include the carved maple top and mahogany body, glued-in mahogany neck with back-angled headstock, rosewood fingerboard (ebony fingerboard with the Alpine White finish), Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece all design points that have been making Les Pauls the most desirable tone monsters available since the late 1950s. For electronics, a set of Gibsons 498T and 490R Alnico humbucking pickups squeeze every drop of tone from the instrument.

With these classic ingredients, the Les Paul Studio gives you all the sonic versatility you could ask for, from sultry, warm bluesy tones to powerful crunch to sizzling lead tones. Finally, the Les Paul Studio is supremely playable too, thanks to its rounded 50s neck profile and a chambered mahogany body that reduces the weight while enhancing resonance, making it outstandingly comfortable strapped on or seated. All this, and your Les Paul Studio comes protected in a formfitting Gibson hardshell case.

Body and Finish
A solid, carved maple top and chambered mahogany body give the Les Paul Studio the same tonewood combination that has been helping Les Paul Standards rock for nearly 60 years. And each of its four available nitrocellulose finishes makes for a stunning looking guitar, even while its no-frills approach eliminates body binding and pickguard.

Pickups and Electronics
The Les Paul Studio carries two of Gibsons most popular humbucking pickups, a 498T in the bridge position and a 490R in the neck. Both are designed as updated renditions of Gibsons famous PAF humbucker of the late 50s and early 60s, modified for improved versatility, and routed through the classic Gibson four-knob and three-way switch control section.

Neck, Headstock and Fingerboard
The Les Paul Studio is crafted in classic Gibson style with a glued-in neck made from solid quarter-sawn mahogany and topped with an unbound rosewood fingerboard (an ebony fingerboard with the Alpine White finish). It has an angled headstock for superior resonance, and its rounded 50s profile and 1-11/16 wide Corian nut help to make is supremely playable.

Hardware
The hardware set on the Les Paul Studio echoes that worn by Les Paul Standards since 1956, and includes Gibsons hallowed Tune-o-matic bridge, stopbar tailpiece, and vintage-style tuners. A classic of 20th century guitar design, the Tune-o-matic provides excellent resonant coupling, while offering efficient independent adjustment of each saddle for precise intonation.

I have owned quite a few of these. I only sold any of them because I have many guitars. I still have 3 Studios and they are one of my main recommendations for people who want a high end guitar. Nice, solid feel and fantastic thick tone. It isn't all headstock and it isn't all hype - these guitars are excellent and some of the best that I have ever been around in over 20 years of being a guitar lover.

Owned one for two years now, playing mostly through a fender bassman with some pedals. I prefer 11 gauge strings and it sounded a lot fuller and clear once i upgraded the orange drop capacitors. Sounds amazing for my led zeppelin, zztop, clapton, acdc , and most classic rock and hard rock and does blues pretty well. Metal is still pree decent but it wouldnt be my first choice if thats all your gunna play. Overall i think its a bit pricey but im in love with mine still and prefer it over my strat.

I have this in the worn cherry finish.I'm not sure why its listed with the others in this catagory as it comes with the burstbucker pro pickups.The finish makes the neck a real slick item.I was really surprised at the huge difference that the chambering made in the weight.I was expecting it to be lighter than the older LP's.what I wasn't expecting was it being lighter than my Ibanez RG870.The neck is way chunkier than the Wizard necks that I'm used to but once I modified my grip it was just fine.I bought this axe 2 weeks ago and during this time my other 3 guitars haven't made it out of their cases...a great investment.

Just picked up a 2009 in worn cherry.Very cool axe.Great action,comfortable neck.Those pickups really drive the tubes in my Marshall.My only complaint is the ugly tuners that Gibson chose to put on these guitars.Even Epiphone uses the more attractive and accurate Grovers.I will be swapping mine out shortly.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
