No-nonsense performance, classic tones, and a captivating custom swirl finish.
The Les Paul Studio Swirl has a traditional Les Paul mahogany body with a maple top that is graced with a distinctive high-gloss, nitrocellulose swirl finish. Each custom swirl finish is unique—no two are the same. The matching headcap adds to unique flavor of the Les Paul Studio Swirl. The mahogany neck with a '50s profile has a 22-fret obeche fingerboard while a 490R neck humbucker and 498T bridge humbucker harness the resonant power of the time-tested selection of tonewoods. Grover 14:1 tuners and the faithful Tune-O-Matic bridge keep your tuning and intonation right where it should be.
A minimalist finishing process results in a thin nitrocellulose finish in one of four gorgeous new “swirl” options: Black/Green Swirl, Black/Silver Swirl, Gold/Blue Swirl, and Silver/Blue Swirl. A lack of binding around the body top and fingerboard also gives a tactile, organic look and feel to the instrument as a whole. Where tone and performance are concerned, however, the Studio Swirl model stays right in the legendary Les Paul Standard’s wheelhouse, with the timeless hardware that has helped to make Les Pauls total sustain monsters for more than five decades. The pickups are a pair of Gibson’s most popular humbuckers, a 490R in the neck and a 498T in the bridge, both made with 42-AWG wire and genuine Alnico magnets (Alnico II and Alnico V respectively) just like the original PAF humbuckers.
Les Paul Studio Swirl starts with the classic tonewood combination of a mahogany body with solid carved maple top. Together, these woods offer outstanding tonal depth and richness from the mahogany, with superb clarity and “snap” from the maple. In this model, the strategic placement of several tone chambers enhances resonance while also reducing the guitar’s overall weight considerably, without sacrificing an ounce of punch or sustain. And even in this more affordable instrument from Gibson USA, the glued-in solid-mahogany neck is cut to the superior “quarter-sawn” grain orientation for superior strength and optimum resonance transfer between neck and body. For the fingerboard, Gibson USA uses exotic Obeche, a hard-wearing dark wood that is not unlike Ebony wood in appearance.
To further maximize all that vibrational energy, Gibson includes its legendary Tune-o-matic bridge and stud-mounted Stop Bar tailpiece, arguably the most storied hardware combination in the history of the electric guitar. Designed to allow precise intonation of individual strings for perfectly in-tune playing, this bridge and tailpiece pairing also provides rock-solid string anchoring at the body end. Of course, to make optimum use of all that sweet resonance and singing sustain you need a couple of superb pickups, and the Les Paul Studio Swirl with Maple Top carries a pair of the very best: a 490R in the neck position gives you warm, rich tones with outstanding clarity, while a slightly hotter 498T is great for singing solos and crunchy rhythm parts. Both are made with genuine Alnico magnets, and feature wax-potted coils to squelch microphonic squeal at high volumes.
All this tonal splendor would do you little good without superb playability, and the Les Paul Studio Swirl excels in this department, too. A rounded ’50s neck profile is extremely comfortable in the hand while still fast and supple under the fingertips, and the fingerboard’s 12-inch radius and 22 medium-jumbo frets offer easy bending with no choking out.

Comments about Gibson Les Paul Studio Swirl Electric Guitar:
Having wanted a Gibson Custom Shop guitar for 10 years... and accepting the reality that I will probably never get one... This was a great find! Great playability, great feel, very clean tones, perfect intonation, great looking guitar, everything you would come to expect from Gibson! It even comes with a beautiful Gibson hard case! Being a studio version it is much more affordable. I got the black / silver and love it! My wife bought me it for my 30th birthday and it's kind of s dream come true to own such s nice guitar!

Comments about Gibson Les Paul Studio Swirl Electric Guitar:
I saw this and had to have it. It's just stunning and has beautiful tone. But the fret wires jut out from the sides of the neck so far that it interferes with rapid movement up the neck--it's kind of sharp (pointy, that is).
So I returned it for a replacement, assuming that it was just an anomaly. When the replacement arrived, it had the same problem! So I will have to take it to a luthier and pay for a repair to make it play properly.
Buyer beware; if you want this guitar be prepared to pay for work on it after you get it to make the neck right.
