"This Guitar is a must Have for your collection!"

Feature:
The case is ok but i wish I could have picked the interior color.I got white interior, man that sucks, being a working musician, its going to be hard to keep it clean.Overal,Ill just use my gigbag

Quality:
The set up Gibson gave my studio was perfect.No fret buzzing,the finish is awsome.When my friend saw the guitar he said one word after playing around with it, EFFORDLESS! Hey its a Gibson,you get what your money pay for!

Value:
The value is still reasonable,considering all the other brands of guitars being made to sound,feel and look like Les Paul. The closer you get to the Lp the higher their price is.so.......

Desirability:
Id say, bringing this guitar to a gig is like bringing a celebrity with you.When i take break people who see this guitar always say after hearing it, Thats got to be a the real Gibson!

Sound:
I just got my LP studio and it feels,sounds, and looks great1 I,ve purchased a Epiphone Lp standard a year ago I tricked with gib pickups,but believe me if you could afford a Gibson , GET It! This bad boy screams in my Mesa Boogie Mark 4 combo.The rhythum pu is fat and warm the bridge is sweet not to harsh,and it sustains like hell!

Ease of Use:
i give it a ten

Support:
I never had to call them

Overall:
Im never going to sell this guitar.Ive got a strat,tele and custom made Brian Moore with the trimmings,Gibson LP has a world of its own.Its best you get one now, because their not going to get any cheaper.Having a Gibson is having a life time investment,the older it gets the more it will be worth.

"This guitar is the best guitar ever. Period."

Feature:
Pretty simple guitar, not alot of features, but it doesn't need alot.

Quality:
Quality is top notch. The best. Should last me a long time. I wouldn't use it without a backup, but then again, I wouldn't use any guitar without a backup.

Value:
It's expensive, but definately worth it. Both the sound and the look of a Gibson Les Paul is recognizable just about anywhere.

Desirability:
Anyone who doesn't want a Gibson Les Paul obviously doesn't want to sound good. Why wouldn't you want one? It sounds good for any style of music, and it looks good for any style of music.

Sound:
This is a classic sound and a must have for any serious musician, especially if you play hard rock, in my opinion. Compared with a fender strat, the strat has alot more treble. This is for more of an agressive, yet warm tone. Perfect for live or recording, hence the name 'studio'. I know for a fact that Daron Malakian of System of a Down used this guitar to record the album, Toxicity. And countless others I'm sure have used this model also, both live and recording.

Ease of Use:
Personally this is the easiest and most comfortable guitar I've ever played, and I've played my share of guitars. The ONLY thing I have to complain about is that the neck is kinda thick toward the upper frets, making solos a bit harder. But I don't play solos too often so I don't really care cuz everything else about the guitar makes up for this.

Support:
Don't know

Overall:
I will probably never find a better sounding guitar than this (for my style of music). If it were lost or stolen, I would most definately buy another one. It is pretty much the ultimate guitar. I don't know why you would even buy a Les Paul Standard or another Les Paul model. This model is already perfect, and it costs less. If you want a guitar that will blow you away, buy this... now. Yeah seriously, buy it now, because the price is going to keep rising.

The Les Paul Studio enhances the solid, proven design of the world's most famous guitar with a wide choice of finishes, a sleek, no-frills look. The Les Paul Studio is the favorite of guitarists who demand traditional Les Paul performance with a modern attitude.

About the Les Paul Series
No matter where Gibson Les Paul is seen - in the hands of a star performer, silhouetted in a guitar dealer's ad, or cast in brass and incorporated into the architecture of a restaurant - it is universally recognized as the symbol of rock and roll music. From the basic no-frills guitars to elegant showpieces, the guitars of Les Paul are the standard-bearers of Gibson's excellence.

Warranty
In 1894, in a one-man shop in Kalamazoo, Michigan, Orville Gibson created a new family of guitars and mandolins that would inspire generations of craftsmen to produce some of the finest instruments the world has ever heard or seen. The Gibson Mandolin-Guitar Co., Ltd., was formed on October 10, 1902, to build instruments that carry on not only Orville's designs but also his conviction to quality.

Gibson celebrated its 100th anniversary in 1994 with the spirit of Orville still going strong. Gibson's combination of traditional craftsmanship and innovative technology has made Gibson the only company that produces industry standard models in every style of fretted instrument, from electric and acoustic guitars to mandolins, banjos, and resonator guitars.

The Gibson Gold Warranty carries on the tradition of the limited lifetime warranty introduced by the company's founders. It represents their commitment to producing the world's finest musical instruments and providing complete customer satisfaction.

Gibson Gold Warranty
Your new Gibson instrument is warranted to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the original retail purchaser, subject to the limitations contained in this warranty.

If at any time this Gibson instrument malfunctions as a result of faulty materials or workmanship, Gibson will repair the defect(s) or replace the instrument, as it deems appropriate in its sole discretion. Gibson reserves the right to use materials regularly utilized at the time of repair in the event that original materials are no longer available, If replacement of your instrument is deemed appropriate by our staff, Gibson will replace the instrument with one of the same or most similar style of a value not in excess of the original purchase price of your instrument.

This warranty covers the cost of both labor and materials on any repair deemed necessary by our Customer Service Representative for the lifetime of the original purchaser. In the unlikely event that your instrument is destroyed, lost or damaged beyond repair, while in the possession of Gibson for repair, Gibson will replace that instrument with one of the same or most similar style of a value not in excess of the original purchase price of your instrument.
