Gibson Les Paul Studio

Gibson 1998 USA Les Paul Studio DC

Gibson Les Paul studio DC from 1998.  Rare USA model It was only made from 1997 to 1999. It is a Studio because of it's maple top like fancier models for true Les Paul tone. Double cutaway, rosewood fingerboard, mahogany neck and body.  Pickups are original paf at the bridge and 490r at the neck.    Includes wraparound adjustable bridge for perfect intonation this Les Paul feels slinky and is a great player. Light weight chambored body.  Frets are undented and neck is straight with low action.  There is no Buckle rash, bumps or bruises and no repairs on this players axe.

The Les Paul Studio is designed for a studio musician. This means that the guitar is targeted toward guitar players more concerned with tone and playability than cosmetics thus eliminating unnecessary expenses that go into a model designed for performances. For this reason, the elements of the Gibson Les Paul that contribute to tone and playability (a carved maple top and standard mechanical and electronic hardware) are retained, while elements that do not (binding on the body and neck as well as ornate inlays) are not.

Other Comments:
Here is a very nice 1998 Gibson Les Paul Studio DC. The DC stands for Double Cut.  These are no longer made and preferred by players who want a lighter weight Les Paul.
