Gibson Les Paul Studio Figured Ocean Blue #203550170

We designed the Les Paul™ Studio Figured Top to be the type of guitar you won’t want to put down: it’s a perfect musical companion, no matter what style of music you play. The one guitar you’ll be able to rely on every time and will find yourself reaching for again and again. For years, the Les Paul Studio has been the choice of countless guitarists who appreciate the combination of the essential Les Paul features–humbucking pickups, a glued-in, set neck, and a mahogany body with a maple cap–at an accessible price and without some of the flashier and more costly cosmetic features of higher-end Les Paul models.

The Les Paul Studio Figured Top is a refreshed and improved version of the Les Paul Studio and is better and more versatile than ever. It features an Ultra Modern weight-relieved mahogany body, making it lighter and more comfortable to play. The carved, AA figured maple cap not only looks great but also adds brightness and definition to the overall tone and combines perfectly with the warmth and midrange punch from the mahogany body for that legendary Les Paul sound that has been featured on countless hit recordings and concert stages worldwide for decades. The glued-in mahogany neck provides solid coupling between the neck and body for increased resonance and sustain. The neck features a traditional heel and an easy-playing SlimTaper™ profile, and it is topped with a bound rosewood fretboard equipped with acrylic trapezoid inlays and 22 medium jumbo frets. The 12” fretboard radius makes playing chords and lead string bending equally effortless without worrying about string bends fretting out. The classic Vintage Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons add to the guitar’s vintage-inspired visual appeal, and together with the fully adjustable aluminum Nashville Tune-O-Matic™ bridge, lightweight aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece, and Graph Tech® nut, help to keep the tuning stability rock-solid.

The Les Paul Studio Figured Top is also well-equipped in the electronics department. It has a pair of Gibson’s Burstbucker™ Pro pickups and a three-way pickup selector switch that allows you to use the pickups individually or use them together. Each pickup is wired to individual volume controls, so you can blend the sound from the two pickups in any ratio you choose. Each volume control has a push/pull switch for coil tapping, giving you two different sounds from each pickup, and each pickup also has an individual tone control for even more sonic versatility. The endless tonal possibilities, exceptional sustain, resonance, and comfortable playability make the Les Paul Studio Figured Top the one guitar you can rely on for any musical genre or scenario. The Les Paul Studio Figured Top is the essential Les Paul, refined and updated for today’s players.
