Product Information
Gibson's Les Paul Studio Session represents a refined take on the studio–grade workhorse, built on the foundation of humbucking pickups, a set mahogany neck, and a maple–topped body that's earned its place on countless hit records. This Cherry finish iteration combines weight–relieved mahogany construction with an AA figured maple cap, delivering the warmth and midrange character that defines the Les Paul signature whilst remaining light enough for extended playing sessions. The instrument addresses longstanding player feedback with modern refinements: a SlimTaper neck profile, Modern Contoured Heel for upper fret access, and a 12" fretboard radius suited equally to rhythm work and lead bending.
Electronics are where the Studio Session justifies its positioning. The '57 Classic® neck pickup and '57 Classic + bridge pickup feed into a control layout offering genuine tonal flexibility: dual volume controls with push/pull coil–tap switches and dual tone controls with push/pull phase and Pure Bypass switching. That last feature routes the bridge pickup directly to the output jack, eliminating the signal path through tone controls entirely. The glued–in mahogany neck couples firmly to the body via a 628.65 mm scale, 22 medium jumbo frets, bound ebony fretboard with trapezoid inlays, Graph Tech® nut, Grover® Rotomatic® tuning machines, Nashville Tune–O–Matic® bridge, and Stop Bar tailpiece all supporting rock–solid tuning stability.
The included soft–shell case provides practical transport protection, making this a ready–to–play package for session work, touring, or studio tracking where players need reliable tone without vintage–model expense or weight penalties.
