Um… lets see, for start I do not own it YET but I tested this same type and color guitar out and compared it to many others at the guitar center… sounds gorgeous… so whats the problem you say… its not even $1,500 at the guitar center. Is this one autographed or something??? I must be mistakened but I am about 98% sure that I am not. Actually It wasnt even $1,000… that itself was a discount granted but even without the sale its not this expensive… maybe its just me.

The Studio is a great guitar for anyone looking for an ‘affordable’ gibson. The sound is absolutely great and it plays like a dream. Naturally you’ll want to test it out before buying it, but I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

I've been playing a Gibson LP studio for the last 15 years. This, in and of itself, should say something about the quality of the instrument. When you buy a Gibson, for better or for worse, part of what you're paying for is the name. There are (arguably) guitars out there that sound/play as good as the original for a lot less money, but unlike most of the LP clones, the genuine Gibson article retains its value well and is something of an "established commodity" - you know what you're getting.

My guitar has always sounded and played well, although (like any guitar) you may have to adjust the setup to get it the way you like it. (Evaluating guitars on the basis of how well they're setup from the factory is, in my opinion, a bit of a waste of time. If you're too lazy to adjust your instrument, or to have a tech adjust it for you, you should probably stick with "guitar hero".) On the critical side, the fret ends on mine weren't dressed as nicely as I'd like from the factory, and the fretboard finish was a little rougher than I'd have expected, both of which were easily rectified by a little TLC.

Bottom line: there is, in the end, no substitute for the genuine article. Buy it, have your tech set it up the way you like it, and you should be happy.

I think it is a great guitar for what it is aimed for – for advanced beginners and intermediate players. The sound is nice, sustain is fine, and the two pickups provide room for tonal variation. Of course it is not a gibson, but a very lovable and well built guitar for those who do not appear regularly on stage. If you are a professional musician, yes, save more money. But for a hobbyist, it is a great buy.

Great advanced beginner guitar
I picked this up as my 3th guitar in a year, looking for the right sound. I bought a Squier Telecaster at first and liked the sound, then bought an acoustic 2nd hand before buying…

Awesome bargain Les Paul!
OK, not set neck (hence low low price) and not a Gibson (who cares?), but a terrific sounding low cost, beautiful, high quality musical instrument with the look and feel of a true…
