Gibson Les Paul Studio Electric Guitar

The Gibson Les Paul Studio electric guitar was made by the electric guitar manufacturer Gibson Guitar Corporation. The Gibson Les Paul Studio was first introduced in the USA around 2005.

The studio version also gives the sound and feel just like of a standard Les Paul electric guitar, both guitars were made of rosewood and maple, however in the studio version the maple top is not a "flame maple top" unlike the standard, some says that the studio version is also called the "barely stripped standard" as the design and most of the element are the same, guess it's suited for the name barely stripped and so was the price, standard Les Paul guitar costs about $4,000 and up while the studio version costs around $799 up to $1200, a very large price different but all i can say is that the sound and the feel is the same.

I personally research it and tried it on a store here in Metro Manila, on which the feel is like the standard Les Paul, so i have doubted if it's a studio version or the real Les Paul i am holding in my hands, as both have two genuine Gibson humbucking pick ups, all i can say is wow to the Gibson Les Paul Guitar Studio version.
