I make my living playing the guitar, I decided I deserve the best guitar ever made - the Gibson Les Paul Studio Guitar. I've always loved these Les Paul guitars - the looks and the sound - but it was the price of these great guitars that always stopped me from buying one. There are many models of the Gibson Les Paul to choose from, and most are priced in the $1500 and over range. Even used, these guitars are still priced very high, however I found that the Les Paul Studio model is basically a genuine Les Paul with a few cosmetic differences and a much lower price ($1100 brand new).

I purchased my first Gibson Les Paul Studio guitar used at the local music store for $750.  I knew I'd have a hard time finding one for less anywhere, so I grabbed it. Mine is wine red with gold hardware - very, very beautiful, sounds great, and cool looking. The difference between the Studio and the more expensive models is that it does not have the white binding on the sides of the guitar body and neck, and the Gibson logo on the headstock is a bit different. It is the same body, wood, and pickups as the other models. I have noticed that on the new later versions of the Les Paul Studio, the tuning knobs are made of plastic (my '87 model is all gold chrome metal). I loved this guitar so much that I later on bought a brand new white Les Paul Studio with gold hardware, a very hot sounding guitar that has become my signature.

Playing hard rock style guitar through a Marshall 100 watt half stack, and I'd have to say that the Gibson Les Paul is the best guitar around for this style of music. You've probably heard it before, but the Les Paul through an old Marshall tube amp is simply the sound of rock! Power chords have never sounded so good! I can play my Gibson Les Paul Studio Guitar with no distortion box and get great rocking leads and riffs. The sustain of the Gibson Les Paul studio guitars is simply awesome. And, of course, the Les Paul guitar is the coolest looking guitar around.

Some people observe that Gibson Les Paul Studio Guitars are too heavy, and yes, my Studio is a heavy slab of wood, but the heaviness is part of what gives the Les Paul its great sound. I've played lighter guitars, and have noticed that the lighter the wood, the harder it is to get good heavy power chord rock without the use of a distortion pedal. I've put all my other guitars to backup duty now that I've got my Les Paul. Order a Gibson Les Paul Studio Guitar free shipping now.

Besides being very beautiful and having a great rock sound, my Les Paul Studio guitar stays in tune, is very easy to play, and I can play with low action and no fret buzz. This is a high quality guitar - it's not a piece of junk that will fall apart on you, but of course, it's a Gibson and Gibson has one of the finest reputations for making quality instruments. The one weakness, though, is the headstock can easily crack or break if the guitar is dropped.  I hardily recommend not using strap locks with this guitar.  My strap locks have slipped out twice now, cracking the headstock both times, I think this guitar is simply too heavy for strap locks.  Avoid putting it in a guitar stand or anywhere where it might fall over. This is the Les Paul's big flaw.

I highly recommend the Gibson Les Paul Studio guitar to anyone who wants a Les Paul but does not want to spend a small fortune. It is definitely a wonderful guitar, and if you are a serious rock guitarist, you need this!
