Gibson Les Paul Studio Tribute 2019 Satin Iced Tea

Description

GIBSON LES PAUL STUDIO TRIBUTE 2019 SATIN ICED TEA

Despite its lower price, the Les Paul studio still boasts Gibson's favorite tonewood combinations, to give you that unmistakable feel and tone. With a mahogany back, you can expect full-bodied bass and a lively mid-range, with the maple top adding a bit of sparkling top-end.

The body of the Les Paul Studio 2019 is thoughtfully weight-relieved using Gibson's ultra-modern method. The most comprehensive chambering process the company offers, it gives the guitar more resonance and a wider frequency response. In addition to its tonal advantages, this treatment also lightens the instrument, making it the perfect workhorse on stage.

The studio body is joined by a mahogany neck, and this long-acclaimed wood pairing gives the Les Paul its renowned endless sustain. Adorned with a silky-smooth rosewood fingerboard, you can effortlessly glide up and down the neck, especially with the modern Slim Taper neck profile that both contemporary and old-school players will love.

Electronics

The Les Paul is famous for sporting a double dose of humbuckers, and the Gibson USA 2019 Les Paul Studio is no exception. In the bridge position, you'll find the 498T, a powerful high-output pickup that boasts a particularly strong mid-high range, to give you more crunch and saturation when using overdriven or distorted tones.

The 490R neck humbucker is slightly tamer, with a more vintage character similar to that of a traditional PAF. Still able to project a powerful midrange, this pickup gives you creamy, warm-sounding lead tones, but also works well in combination with clean settings.

Featuring traditional Les Paul circuitry, the 2019 studio's electronics offer greater versatility than some of its older counterparts. With volume controls featuring a push-pull function, these allow you to coil-split the humbuckers, meaning you can achieve convincing single-coil sounds.

Hardware

The Gibson aluminum Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge provides a stable and solid feel under the picking hand, with its simple and accessible design making it easy to adjust the action or intonation. Combined with an aluminum stop bar, this resonant material further enhances the Les Paul Studio's sustain.

Grover tuners are considered by many to be the industry standard, which is why the 2019 Studio has been fitted with a set of their high-quality Rotomatic tuners. Ensuring precise control of your guitar's tuning, they will also guarantee great stability and reliability over time.
