The Gibson Les Paul Studio Session in Translucent Ebony Burst is built for players who want classic Les Paul tone with modern flexibility and a lighter more comfortable feel. Its Ultra Modern weight-relieved mahogany body keeps the guitar lively and resonant without the heft of a traditional solidbody while the AA figured maple cap adds brightness bite and that unmistakable top-end shimmer. The SlimTaper mahogany neck feels fast and familiar and the bound ebony fretboard with medium jumbo frets brings a smooth responsive playing surface that suits everything from chunky riffs to melodic lead work. With a Modern Contoured Heel access to the upper frets feels noticeably easier and more fluid. A 57 Classic in the neck and a 57 Classic Plus in the bridge deliver that iconic PAF-style character with warm mids clear highs and plenty of dynamic touch. The push/pull controls open the door to coil tapping phase switching and a pure bypass option that sends the bridge pickup straight to the output for maximum clarity. Finished with black nickel hardware black plastics and a soft shell case this is a versatile modernised Les Paul that keeps the spirit of the Studio series intact while offering more tones more comfort and more reasons to play.
