2016 ES-Les Paul Studio
A great "hybrid" design at an unbeatable price
Blending the popular ES-Les Paul's clever hybrid build and styling, the new ES-Les Paul studio marries semi-meets-solid construction in an outstandingly versatile guitar.
Semi-acoustic construction
This compact semi blends the look and sound of Gibson's two most influential guitars
Traditional trapezoids
Trapezoid inlays in a rosewood fingerboard are a visual nod to the Les Paul Standard
Rolled fingerboard binding
By "rolling" or "breaking" the binding at the fingerboard edge we create a softer playing feel
Historic truss rod
Our historic truss rod has no tube, a proven known to enhance the guitar's resonance and sustain
PAF-style pickups
The 57 Classic and Super 57 are constructed like the hallowed PAF, with a little extra windings in the bridge position for hotter lead tones
Corian nut
Black Corian yields a dense nut for clear, ringing tone with a cool modern look
High-gloss nitro finish
Even on this Studio model Gibson Memphis pulls no punches for a high-quality finish
