Get my Guitar found the latest prices on the Gibson Les Paul Studio Blueberry Burst with S/C.The Gibson Les Paul Studio in striking Blueberry Burst delivers the authentic Gibson experience in a streamlined package that focuses on playability and tone rather than cosmetic embellishments. This instrument embodies the essential elements that have made the Les Paul legendary—premium tonewoods, superior craftsmanship, and powerful electronics—while eliminating luxury appointments to create a professional-grade guitar at a more accessible price point.

At the heart of this Les Paul Studio is an Ultra-Modern weight-relieved mahogany body topped with plain maple, creating the classic tonal foundation that has defined countless recordings across multiple genres. The glued-in mahogany neck features Gibson's comfortable Slim Taper profile that facilitates fast, effortless playing across all 22 frets on the bound Indian rosewood fingerboard with distinctive acrylic trapezoid inlays.

The sonic character of this instrument comes from a pair of Gibson's acclaimed Burstbucker Pro pickups, which utilize Alnico 5 magnets to deliver a perfect balance of vintage warmth and modern clarity. These versatile humbuckers are wired to push/pull volume controls for coil-tapping capabilities, allowing players to access single-coil tones alongside traditional humbucker voices. Independent tone controls for each pickup provide further sound-shaping options, making this Les Paul exceptionally versatile for studio and stage applications.

Finished in a stunning Blueberry Burst nitrocellulose lacquer that will naturally age and develop character over time, this Les Paul Studio maintains Gibson's commitment to traditional materials and construction methods while offering a modern playing experience. A soft-shell case is included to protect your investment when traveling between performances.

The Studio Philosophy

Introduced in the early 1980s, the Les Paul Studio was designed to offer professional musicians a no-nonsense instrument that delivered the essential Les Paul experience without cosmetic extras that added cost but not function. The Studio skips features like body binding and fancy figured maple tops in favor of focusing on what matters most: superior playability and authentic Gibson tone.

This approach has made the Studio a favorite among working musicians who need reliable performance without paying for decorative elements. Despite its more utilitarian appearance compared to higher-end models, the Studio maintains all the crucial components that define the Les Paul sound and feel:

• Traditional Tonewoods: The mahogany body/maple cap combination delivers the warmth, sustain, and harmonic richness that made Les Pauls famous
• Set-Neck Construction: The glued-in mahogany neck provides superior resonance and sustain compared to bolt-on designs
• Quality Electronics: Full-sized potentiometers and premium pickups ensure authentic Gibson tone

Key Features Explained

• Burstbucker Pro Pickups: Utilizing Alnico 5 magnets, these pickups deliver vintage PAF-inspired warmth with added output for modern playing styles
• Coil-Tapping Capability: Push/pull volume controls allow switching from full humbuckers to single-coil tones for increased versatility
• Ultra-Modern Weight Relief: Strategic chamber routing reduces weight for improved playing comfort during long sessions without sacrificing the Les Paul's fundamental tone
• Slim Taper Neck Profile: A comfortable, modern neck shape that facilitates fast playing while maintaining substantial feel
• Nitrocellulose Lacquer Finish: Traditional finish that breathes with the wood, aging naturally and developing character over time

Perfect For:

The Gibson Les Paul Studio excels across multiple musical contexts:

• Studio Musicians: As the name suggests, this model was designed with recording in mind, offering versatile tones for various musical styles
• Working Guitarists: The balance of professional-grade quality with sensible pricing makes the Studio ideal for musicians who rely on their instruments to earn a living
• Rock and Blues Players: The classic Les Paul voice—warm, powerful, and rich with harmonic content—serves these genres exceptionally well
• Practical Collectors: For those who appreciate Gibson craftsmanship and want an American-made Les Paul without the premium price of more ornate models

Unlike budget-focused guitars that compromise on essential components, the Les Paul Studio represents a thoughtful reduction to only what matters most for professional performance, maintaining Gibson's commitment to quality where it counts.
