Gibson Les Paul Studio Silverburst Electric Guitar, Silverburst Chrome Hardware Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)After spending hours testing out guitars at guitar Center I picked this up and instantly loved it. Altough I wasnt looking for a guitar in this price range I fell in love with it and couldnt go back to the other guitars. I looked at others in the same price range and I couldnt stop comeing back to it. The looks are cool and the modern style is cool even though its not what I usually like. The guitar had really great balance ("weight relieved" body), and the 60's style neck just topped off the great clean sound this gutiar makes. One big factor while looking for a guitar was the balance and most just didnt add up some where top heavy or vice versa. This one on the other hand was very well balanced. I own a 1960's silvertone harmony and the les pauls neck really was identical in style. I love this guitar! Stock settings are awesome but if you know someone who can adjust your guitar like a perfesional Luthier the guitar will sound that much better. Its well worth the money and if adjusted properly can sound and feel like you paid double for it.

The Gibson Les Paul Studio Electric Guitar has become one of the most desired Les Paul guitars for its tremendous harmonic and sonic capacities. The studio guitar is coveted by musicians from all genres of music and offers Les Paul performance with a modern, no-frills attitude. This Silverburst edition is lighter weight and offers a distinct look and modern features.The Les Paul Studio guitar marries a lightweight chambered mahogany back to a maple top. The mahogany set neck has a 22-fret fingerboard that is constructed from high-grade rosewood. The flatter 12" fingerboard radius promotes smooth note bending and eliminates dead or choked out notesa common occurrence on rounder, smaller radius fingerboards. The Les Paul Studio guitar's '60s neck profile is slim tapered emulating the neck shapes of the 1960 Les Paul Standard.The Les Paul Studio Guitar shares the same quality electronics as some of its more expensive siblings. The Gibson 490R pickup has the tonal characteristics of an original PAF, but with a slight increase in upper mid-range response. The Gibson 498T bridge pickup is the 490 pickup's ideal complement. Taking the 490 one step further, the 498 swaps the Alnico II magnet with an Alnico V, thus making it a slightly hotter pickup with emphasis on mid-ranges and highs. The pole pieces on the 498T are also aligned a little further apart to accommodate the spacing of the strings at the bridge. Both pickups can be split via push/pull volume controls.
