We are excited to announce that the Les Paul™ Studio family has a new member – the Les Paul Studio Session. For years, the Les Paul Studio has been the choice of countless guitarists who appreciate the combination of the essential Les Paul features–humbucking pickups, a glued-in, set neck, and a mahogany body with a maple cap–at an accessible price. The new Les Paul Studio Session is an enhanced version of the classic Les Paul Studio with upgraded features and refinements based on customer feedback and player requests.

Watch our full demo of the new Les Paul Studio Session featuring Gibson Master Luthier and Head of R&D Jim DeCola. Listen to the incredible tones from the ’57 Classic™ and ’57 Classic + pickups with push/pull volume and tone controls for coil tapping, phase, and Pure Bypass switching, offering incredible tonal versatility for musicians of all genres. Jim also breaks down the differences between the Les Paul Studio Session and the Les Paul Studio to help you decide which is right for you—or why you might need both! Could this be the most versatile Les Paul ever?

A step up from previous Les Paul Studio models, the Les Paul Studio Session features an Ultra Modern weight-relieved mahogany body, making it lighter and more comfortable to play, no matter how long the gig or jam session runs. The mahogany neck with its SlimTaper™ profile with bound ebony fretboard features a Modern Contoured Heel for unmatched access to the upper frets. This guitar doesn’t lack anything in the electronics department, either. It comes equipped with a ’57 Classic pickup in the neck position and a ’57 Classic + in the bridge position, wired to individual push/pull volume and tone controls for coil tapping, phase, and Pure Bypass switching for a wide range of tonal options. This is the one guitar that you can rely on for any musical genre or situation. Available in a variety of gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finishes, including Cobalt Burst, Bourbon Burst, Translucent Ebony Burst, and Honey Burst.
