Gibson Les Paul Studio

    I bought this guitar NEW in 2004.  It is a Gibson USA Explorer Studio.  This is a rare guitar and this was the last year that they made them.  It is 90% the size of a regular Explorer so it makes it a little more natural when playing because it doesn't feel so big and akward.  I have played it at several shows but it has no damage other than the ware of being played some.  As you can see in the pictures it is a unique Studio Copper finish all the way around and it's very hard to find something that sticks out such as this.  Everything works fine and it comes with a Gibson USA hardshell case which is a must if you are gigging much.  I need to get rid of it since I haven't been playing out much lately.  The information is listed below and something you might find interesting is that this doesn't have the mini humbuckers in like most do it has two regular Gibson USA Humbucker pickups.  I'm not sure the exact number on them but they are great for any kind of music especially harder rock because they can be very hot.  If you have any questions please let me know.  Happy Bidding!

• include two high-output ceramic mini-humbuckers, a basswood body, mahogany neck with a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard, and chrome hardware. Includes Gibson USA hardshell case.
• Gibson Mini-Humbucker
• When Gibson introduced the Les Paul Deluxe in 1969, it incorporated the mini-humbucker which had only been available on certain Gibson-made Epiphone models. With its smaller size, narrow magnetic field and unique design combination, the mini-humbucker produces bright and focused output, while retaining the famous Gibson humbucker performance.
• The X-plorer features a vintage replica of the original mini-humbucker, with adjustable pole pieces and bar Alnico II magnets.Technical Description
