The glued-in mahogany neck provides solid coupling between the neck and body for increased resonance and sustain.

The 12" fretboard radius makes… read more playing chords and lead string bending equally effortless without worrying about string bends fretting out.

The Les Paul Studio Figured Top is also well-equipped in the electronics department. It features a pair of Gibson's Burstbucker Pro pickups and a three-way pickup selector switch that allows the pickups to be used individually or together. Each pickup is wired to individual volume controls, allowing the sound from the two pickups to be blended in any ratio. Each volume control also has a push/pull switch for coil tapping, giving two different sounds from each pickup, and each pickup has an individual tone control for even greater sonic versatility. The endless tonal possibilities, exceptional sustain, resonance, and comfortable playability make the Les Paul Studio Figured Top a guitar that players can rely on for virtually any musical genre or performance situation. The Les Paul Studio Figured Top is the essential Les Paul, refined for today's players.
