The Les Paul Studio is Gibson's working-player Les Paul: a mahogany body with a carved maple cap, a glued-in mahogany neck and dual humbuckers, without the binding and figured tops of the Standard. This left-handed Ebony version uses an Ultra Modern weight-relieved body, so it hangs lighter on the shoulder than a solid Les Paul. It suits players who want the classic Les Paul voice and feel and don't need the cosmetic extras. Against the Standard it gives up some finish detail and resale prestige; against cheaper single-cuts it keeps the set-neck construction and Gibson humbuckers that define the sound.

Owners of the Les Paul Studio line generally praise the tone, the set-neck feel and the lighter weight of the refreshed body. Some miss the heft and sustain of a solid-body Les Paul, and a few find the plain cosmetics underwhelming next to a Standard.
The Gibson Les Paul Studio is a left-handed electric guitar in an Ebony finish. It has an Ultra Modern weight-relieved mahogany body with a carved, plain maple cap. The weight relief makes the guitar lighter. The maple cap adds brightness and definition, and the mahogany adds warmth and midrange punch.
The glued-in mahogany neck has a traditional heel and a SlimTaper profile. The bound rosewood fretboard has acrylic trapezoid inlays, 22 medium jumbo frets and a 12" radius. Vintage Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons, an aluminum Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge, an aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece and a Graph Tech nut support tuning stability.
Two Burstbucker Pro pickups connect to a three-way selector switch, so you can use either pickup alone or both together. Each pickup has its own volume and tone controls. Each volume control has a push/pull switch for coil tapping, which gives two sounds from each pickup.
