A Les Paul guitar with sleek looks and versatile, powerful tone.
The Gibson Les Paul Studio Dark limited-edition electric guitar combines modern functionality with the iconic tonal foundation that has made the Les Paul a studio and stage staple for decades. Featuring an Ultra Modern weight-relieved mahogany body topped with carved maple, this guitar offers exceptional resonance and sustain while remaining lightweight for extended play. Its Burstbucker Pro pickups deliver a powerful and articulate sound, capturing every nuance of your performance. Paired with advanced coil-tapping capabilities, this instrument is as versatile as it is dynamic. Finished in sleek, blacked-out aesthetics and premium nitrocellulose lacquer, the Les Paul Studio Dark is built for players who demand both style and substance.
Gibson Ultramodern Weight-Relieved Mahogany Body for Comfort
The Les Paul Studio Dark's ultramodern weight-relieved mahogany body ensures hours of comfortable play without sacrificing the rich, resonant tone the Les Paul is renowned for. The carved maple top adds brightness and clarity to the instrument's sonic profile, balancing the warmth and midrange punch of the mahogany body. Whether performing on stage or recording in a studio, this construction provides a harmonically rich foundation that excels in capturing subtle dynamics. The weight-relief design not only reduces fatigue but also enhances the instrument's resonance, making it ideal for longer playing sessions without compromising tone.
Fast-Playing SlimTaper Neck With Premium Components
Equipped with a SlimTaper mahogany neck, this guitar offers a smooth, fast-playing experience that accommodates intricate solos and rhythm work alike. The bound ebony fretboard features a 12" radius, acrylic trapezoid inlays and 22 medium-jumbo frets for effortless navigation across its range. The traditional heel and single-cutaway design provide excellent access to higher frets, making this model well suited for demanding technical performances. With its Graph Tech nut and Vintage Deluxe tuners, this neck guarantees exceptional tuning stability and precise intonation, ensuring a reliable playing experience in every scenario.
Legendary Gibson Burstbucker Pro Pickups With Coil-Tapping
The Les Paul Studio Dark features Gibson's Burstbucker Pro pickups, designed to deliver powerful, articulate tones that shine in both clean and overdriven settings. These pickups are wired to individual push/pull volume controls, enabling coil-tapping for a brighter, single-coil sound. Each pickup also has its own tone control, allowing for extensive sonic sculpting and blending possibilities. From warm, vintage-inspired tones to modern, high-gain aggression, the Burstbuckers provide a dynamic range of sounds that suit any musical context. The three-way toggle switch further enhances tonal options, letting you seamlessly transition between neck, bridge or blended settings.
Precision Hardware for Long-Lasting Performance
Built for durability and stability, this guitar features a fully adjustable Nashville Tune-o-matic bridge and lightweight aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece, ensuring optimal string vibration transfer for maximum sustain. The Vintage Deluxe tuners with keystone buttons provide a classic look while maintaining precise tuning, even during aggressive playing. The Graph Tech nut enhances tuning stability by reducing friction at the string contact points, resulting in smoother bends and better overall performance. These thoughtful hardware choices ensure that the instrument remains reliable through countless performances and rigorous practice sessions.
Sleek Design for Modern Players
The Gibson Les Paul Studio Dark limited-edition electric guitar pairs its cutting-edge features with a striking aesthetic. The blacked-out hardware, gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish and minimalistic appointments create a bold, modern look that's perfect for the stage.
