“Simply a very good sounding Les Paul irrelevant of its name or price”: Gibson Les Paul Studio review review
Dec 25, 2024
Gibson hasn’t forgotten the working musician with this refreshed version of the classic Les Paul Studio for 2024

What is it?
The Studio, which was released back in 1983, has always been the gateway Les Paul: good enough until you can afford the pukka Les Paul Standard, Custom or historic reissue. Over those decades there have been plenty of different flavours but the Studio is typically stripped down without, for the most part, any refinements like fingerboard or body binding.
Although Gibson missed the Studio’s 40th Anniversary, it's making up for it this year having already launched the Studio Modern, this standard Studio, and, a third Studio as we lurch into 2025 with the Les Paul Studio Session. Let’s have a taste…
