Les Paul Studio Premium Customer Review

Sound: I was simply amazed! I bought it on Friday afternoon and took it to a studio session on Saturday. I had to play a song that called for a vintage rock sound that I was a bit worried I may not get with my strat. I plugged in the LP to see what it would sound like. To may amazement, I did not have to adjust a singe setting on my amp. It just natuarlly sounded perfect! Quality: The quailty of this instrument in amazing. The only difference I can see (and belive me, I tried the models that were at least 1,000 dollars more) was the binding around the body and the chambered body.

Style of Music: Rock, Blues, Jazz, Country

This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. "The Premium Plus has tone FOR DAYS!!!!"

Sound: Let me just say WOW! I purchased this Les Paul Studio Premium Plus as I had heard that it is as good as, IF NOT BETTER than the standards and customs. Let me say this...the only difference I can tell between this guitar and the customs is the cosmetics. These premium pluses are in my opinion EQUAL to the Les Paul Custom in tone and sustain. Who cares if it is "chambered" when it gets better tone! It's definitely lighter than even my Charvel telecaster. The other guitar player in our band has a Les Paul Standard and the first night I brought this bad boy in, it made his Standard sound sub standard. I'm being serious! The tone on my Studio Premium Plus runs circles around his Standard's tone. AMAZING TONE AND SUSTAIN! Feature: There is only one thing I am disappointed with on this guitar. The volume knobs don't allow gradual volume decrease. 1 IS LOUD! and O is "off". So much for volume control. Other than that, I would give every feature on this guitar a 10. I'm sure I'll feel different when the gold hardware tarnished but for now...SUPER! The pick ups were a VERY pleasant suprise. VERY thick sound and super tone. Ease of Use: There is a learning curve on the sounds I need to acheive with this guitar as I play in a cover band but this instrument has great action, easy to play and has a look like no other. Quality: Incredible quality. I'd expect nothing less from Gibson. Value: Seriously consider buying a Studio Premium Plus before a Custom or a Standard. Lighter, better tone and better looking in my opinion. The Wow Factor: Just simply a beautiful guitar!

Style of Music: Rock/Hard Rock/ Alternative
