Gibson Les Paul Studio EB Reviews

I've been looking for the Custom Shop Les Paul which has been out of stock with reasonably long backorders in the UK (and perhaps Europe too) so I decided to give this studio guitar a chance in the meantime.

Visually the two guitars are very different, however technically the Pick-ups and Tuneomatic bridge and tailstop appears to be identical.

When I first received this guitar visually I couldn't see any defects or issues with the guitar. It was not tuned to standard, but that was easily rectified. I played a couple of tunes on it to test it and ended up covered in black dust so I had to wipe the strings and fretboard down with my microfibre cloth, though I doubt this is a guitar problem.

This Studio Gibson is surprisingly lightweight, the sound is great and is much better, clearer than the PRS Standard (with split-coils) that I own.

No regrets buying this!
