The 2016 Les Paul Studio T is ideal for the serious guitarist who wants a great performer, but needs to stay within budget.
This year’s model is available with a carved maple top over a weight-relieved mahogany body in a wide selection of cool colors, all in a thin, high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish. The exclusive finishing process is labor intensive and isn’t just about looks, but helps define this model’s exceptional tone.
The neck features Gibson’s traditional nut width that players love and a thicker, one-piece rosewood fingerboard that offers better feel and sustain. All Les Paul models this year come with a self-lubricating Graph Tech nut that helps in tuning and lets strings return to pitch following heavy string bending.
Electronics feature Gibson’s popular 490 R and 498 T humbuckers with alnico magnets for rich, singing tones in all positions.
Traditional manual tuners add a vintage vibe while providing smooth and efficient performance. Set up at the factory by experts, the 2016 Les Paul Studio T is ready for immediate action and comes in a traditional brown hardshell case.
