Product information

General

The Gibson Modern Collection Les Paul Studio simply embodies everything that a genuine American LP should. The Ultra-Modern weight relief treatment of the mahogany body is a considerate and comfortable tweak and has been finished off by a vaulted maple top, while the mahogany neck has been bound to the body via a set-neck construction to support the already unrivalled sustain and matching resonance. The butter-smooth feel of the Slim Taper neck profile combined with the rosewood fretboard and 22 medium jumbo frets take care of that comfy, compulsive playing feel, and this new-breed Les Paul Studio comes complete with a softshell case and a Gibson Accessory Kit.

The Modern Collection Les Paul Studio: Wide Sonic Range

Gibson have reliably equipped the Studio with the solid team of a 490R and 498T humbucker to guarantee a potent and tight foundation and a hefty chunk of output. While this set-up naturally lends itself to heavier guitar work, this unarguable beauty of an electric guitar also comes with a softer side. Both volume pots can be popped out, to coil-tap and calm down the output of both pickups. This fresh-faced rendition of the LP Studio cracks open a highly flexible sonic range and comes fully backed up by the tried-and-tested stability of an aluminium Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar.

Gibson Modern Collection Les Paul Studio Smokehouse Burst Electric Guitar with Softshell Case

This is a wonderful guitar marred by some poor quality control by Gibson in my view. The photos do not do justice to how the Smokehouse Burst looks in reality which is deep and subtle. It plays really well and the factory set up was good. Comparing it to my Epiphone Les Paul, it just seems easier on the wrist, hand and ear! However, there was glue residue where the neck fits the body, some scuffs on the waist and a tiny crack in the top lacquer layer on the side of the fretboard. It came factory sealed from BAX so must have left the factory with these despite a ticked off inspection list. Also, the two volume knobs both have slight play on the splines which the tones ones don't have - nothing major but odd.
I sent pics to BAX and was offered an additional discount which is appreciated but given the price, I was expecting more in terms of quality from Gibson.

Gibson Modern Collection Les Paul Studio Smokehouse Burst Electric Guitar with Softshell Case

Vandaag twee B-stock Gibson LP Studio modellen uitgepakt samen met de man van de gitaarafdeling Bax Music Amsterdam.

Wat een verschil in de twee identieke Studio exemplaren zeg!
Afgezien van dat de ene Ebony zwart was en de tweede Smokehouse Burst.

Bij de Ebony voelde de hals niet fijn. Zowel in grip als ook aanblik. Grijzig rosewood fretboard en te platte grip, flat tyre C zogezegd daar waar small tapered C wordt geadverteerd.
Bovendien leek de zwarte high gloss nitro lak wel gepoetst met siliconen polish ( nooit doen TIP! )
Het gaf een vieze vleug over de gitaar.

De Smokie B echter dat was een echt Gibsons hoogstandje voor deze acceptabele prijsstelling.
Mooie 2 delige maple top met een prachtige diepe nerf door het gloss nitro heen, een full grip redneck rampage neck die direct warm aanvoede op het moment dat ik hem vastpakte. Het van een dieprood doordrongen rosewood fretboard paste perfect bij de Smokehouse finish, op de achtergrond klonk “Paint in black van de Stones in de shop en ik kon hem waarempel helemaal iets out of tune zo meespelen.
De Smokie H. Is het geworden. Pickguard welke flut is eraf, trussrod cover welke flut is eraf, neck iets relief gegeven op de trussrod, fretboard geolied, Billy Gibbons snaren erop, tunen, intoneren, stopbar iets omhoog, brug iets bijgesteld en de rest van de avond rammen maar de gitaar blijft perfect in tune met de stevige Grover tuners.

De 498 en 49O pups kunnen ook gecoiltapt worden en dan klinken ze met was fuzz bijna als een orgel.
Wow wat een gitaar! Die gaat niet meer weg dit is de mijne!

Cheers have a good one!
