Traditional elements of Les Paul styling remain, however, in the acrylic trapezoid fingerboard inlays and the time-tested pairing of a Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece, both made by TonePros® for locked-and-loaded sustain and solidity. In keeping with the dressed-down Studio series, body and fingerboard are left unbound, to show the beauty of the wood and provide a natural feel under the fingers. Faced with a rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium-jumbo frets, with a 12' radius for each choke-free bending, the neck is topped with a headstock with the preferred 17-degree backward pitch for improved string pressure in the PLEK-cut Corian nut. A solid one-piece mahogany neck is glued in with a traditional mortis & tenon joint, and carved in the fast and comfortable SlimTaperGäó profile. All in all, it's a Les Paul for the ages, primed for rock, blues, pop, fusion, or whatever music you want to make.Ĭrucial elements of the Les Paul Studio Pro Plus' design include the carved, Grade AA-figured maple top and chambered mahogany body, a classic tonewood combination that is legendary for its blend of clarity, sustain, depth and richness. The Les Paul Studio Pro Plus from Gibson USA includes the minimalist appointments that players have come to love, but dresses up the theme in a range of exclusive finishes revealing gorgeous Grade AA-figured maple tops, and hotrods it with push/pull switching to offer independent coil tapping from two of Gibson's most popular humbucking pickups. Originally designed as a model for studio artists but adopted wholeheartedly by countless players of all stripes, the Les Paul Studio combines stripped-down appointments with the full tonal splendor and unrivaled playability of a Les Paul Standard at a significant financial savings. Since 1983 Gibson USA has been proving not only that less is sometimes more, but also that less can sometimes knock your socks off'when it comes in the form of the popular no-nonsense Les Paul Studio model, at least. Stripped down it might be, but this exclusive from Gibson USA is a feature-packed Les Paul with both the versatile tone and the stunning looks to stand with the finest single-cutaway electrics ever produced.
