The Gibson Les Paul Studio Session isn't just another guitar hanging on the wall — it's the result of Gibson listening to what players actually want and delivering it in spades. This refined beast takes everything you loved about the classic Les Paul Studio and cranks it up to eleven with player-focused upgrades that'll have you wondering why you waited so long to make the leap.
Why This Les Paul Rewrites the Rulebook
The Studio Session is a sleek, professional instrument designed for guitarists who demand exceptional tone. Perfect for both studio recording and live performances, this guitar seamlessly combines vintage character with modern versatility.
Ultra-Modern Weight-Relieved Body: Say goodbye to shoulder strain during those marathon sessions. The strategically weight-relieved mahogany body maintains that legendary Les Paul sustain while keeping you comfortable enough to play all night long.
AA Figured Maple Cap: This isn't just eye candy (though it definitely is). The figured maple cap adds crystalline highs and articulate mids that cut through any mix, making your solos sing with clarity that'll make sound engineers weep tears of joy.
Versatile '57 Classic Pickup Duo: Armed with both '57 Classic and '57 Classic + pickups, you're getting that sweet PAF-inspired tone with enough output variation to handle everything from glassy cleans to face-melting overdrive.
Playability That Spoils You Rotten
The Studio Session delivers not just exceptional sound but a seamless connection to your musical creativity. With Gibson's ergonomic design, you spend less time struggling with your instrument and more time focusing on making music.
SlimTaper Neck Profile: Fast, comfortable, and familiar — this neck profile lets your fretting hand fly across the fretboard without cramping up. Perfect for players who need speed without sacrificing comfort during extended playing sessions.
Modern Contoured Heel: Finally, a Les Paul that doesn't make you work overtime to reach those upper frets. The contoured heel gives you unprecedented access to the entire fretboard, opening up new melodic possibilities that were previously off-limits.
Bound Ebony Fretboard: Smooth as silk and built to last, the ebony fretboard provides the perfect playing surface for everything from delicate fingerpicking to aggressive bending. The binding adds that touch of class that separates the pros from the pretenders.
Tone-Shaping Power That'll Blow Your Mind
Here's where the Studio Session truly earns its stripes. The innovative electronics package transforms this single guitar into a sonic chameleon that adapts to whatever musical situation you throw at it.
Push/Pull Volume and Tone Controls: This is where the magic happens. Each pickup gets its own push/pull pot, giving you coil-tapping, phase switching, and pure bypass options that unlock tonal territories most Les Pauls can only dream about.
Grover Rotomatic Tuners with Keystone Buttons: Rock-solid tuning stability meets classic aesthetics. These premium tuners keep you in tune through the most aggressive playing while adding that unmistakable Gibson vibe to the headstock.
Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer Finish: Not only does it look stunning, but this traditional finish actually improves with age, allowing the wood to breathe and the tone to mature over time. Your guitar will literally get better the more you play it.
The Studio Session: Where Tradition Meets Innovation
This is the Les Paul Gibson built for players who refuse to compromise on stellar tone, dynamic playability, or versatile voices. And with its protective soft shell case, your ultimate sonic adventure is ready to shred. So, is the Gibson Les Paul Studio Session “THE ONE” for you? Only one way to find out…

Cobalt Blue Gibson Session
Love this cobalt blue Session! Sat down with it for 15 minutes, out of the box, tuned it, started jamming, was putting my preferred strings on it. Other than a little weight relief, no body binding, which do not matter to me, there’s nothing substandard to my Standards!
