Gibson Used Les Paul Studio 1983 - Natural

The 'Studio' model was introduced in 1983 and is still in production. The intended market for this guitar was the studio musician; therefore, the design features of the 'Les Paul Studio' were centered around optimal sound output. This model retained only the elements of the Gibson Les Paul that contributed to tone and playability, including the carved maple top and standard mechanical and electronic hardware. However, the Studio design omitted several stock Gibson ornamentations that did not affect sound quality, including the binding on the body and neck.

Allthough viewed as an entry level guitar, it has won many fans in the guitar world thanks to its simple, no nonsense design. This example is from the first year of introduction and so is a little special.
