Gibson Les Paul Studio Session (Iguana Burst) inc Soft-Shell Case

Gibson's Les Paul Studio Session represents a refined take on the studio standard, addressing player feedback with tangible upgrades to comfort and tonal versatility. The Ultra Modern weight-relieved mahogany body reduces fatigue during extended sessions, whilst the AA figured maple cap delivers enhanced brightness and definition layered over the mahogany's warm midrange. The glued–in neck construction ensures rigid coupling for sustained resonance, paired with a Modern Contoured Heel and SlimTaper® profile that prioritises upper-fret access and fast playability across the bound ebony fretboard's 22 medium jumbo frets and 12" radius.

Electronics distinguish this model through dual '57 Classic® pickups—a neck version and bridge '57 Classic+—each wired to independent volume controls with push/pull coil–tap switches for four distinct voice options per pickup. Additional push/pull tone controls introduce phase switching when both pickups are engaged and Pure Bypass circuitry that routes the bridge pickup directly to the output jack, bypassing tone shaping for maximum signal integrity. The 628.65 mm scale length spans 22 frets across a 43.03 mm nylon nut. Tuning stability benefits from Graph Tech® hardware, Grover® Rotomatic® tuners with Keystone buttons, and a fully adjustable Nashville Tune–O–Matic® bridge paired with an aluminium Stop Bar tailpiece.

This configuration accommodates everything from rhythm–focused chord work through to expressive lead playing. The coil–tap function alone expands the tonal palette beyond traditional humbucking territory, whilst the phase and bypass options cater to players seeking transparent signal paths or experimental textures. Iguana Burst finish adds visual distinction without aesthetic compromise. Soft–shell case inclusion rounds out a complete, tour–ready package.
