Gibson Les Paul Studio Session Electric Guitar – Bourbon Burst

Gibson Les Paul Studio Session Electric Guitar – Bourbon Burst

The Gibson Les Paul Studio Session in Bourbon Burst is a modern evolution of a classic design, built for players who want premium tone, comfort, and flexibility in one instrument. Featuring an Ultra Modern weight-relieved mahogany body with a carved AA figured maple top, it delivers the signature Les Paul combination of warmth, sustain, and clarity while staying comfortable during long sessions. The ’57 Classic and ’57 Classic Plus pickups provide rich, vintage-inspired tones with smooth highs, full lows, and excellent dynamic response.

Designed for performance, it features a SlimTaper mahogany neck with a Modern Contoured Heel for effortless upper fret access, paired with a bound ebony fretboard for a fast, precise feel. Push/pull controls unlock coil tapping, phase switching, and pure bypass, giving you a wide range of tones without complicating your setup. Finished in Bourbon Burst with cream plastics and chrome hardware, this Les Paul blends classic style with modern refinement, making it a dependable choice for both stage and studio work.

Classic tone with added clarity

The combination of a mahogany body and AA figured maple top delivers the unmistakable Les Paul voice that generations of guitarists have loved. The maple cap adds brightness and articulation, while the mahogany body provides warmth, depth, and sustain. Ultra Modern weight relief keeps the guitar lighter without removing its core tonal character, making it more comfortable to play for extended periods. It is a balanced tonal platform that handles everything from clean passages to driven tones with ease and consistency.

Versatile ’57 Classic pickups

Loaded with a ’57 Classic in the neck and a ’57 Classic Plus in the bridge, this model offers a dynamic and expressive sound. These pickups deliver vintage character while staying clear and articulate under gain. With push/pull coil tapping on the volume controls, you can access brighter, more focused tones, while phase and pure bypass switching expand your tonal options even further. This flexible setup allows you to cover a wide range of styles without needing multiple guitars.

Fast and comfortable playability

The SlimTaper neck profile provides a fast, comfortable feel that suits both rhythm and lead playing. The Modern Contoured Heel improves access to the upper frets, making it easier to explore the full range of the instrument. A bound ebony fretboard with a 12″ radius and medium jumbo frets ensures smooth bends and accurate fretting. The overall design feels responsive and natural, helping you play with confidence and precision right along the neck.

Reliable performance and build

Built with quality hardware, this Les Paul Studio Session is ready for regular use. The aluminium Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece provide strong sustain and precise intonation, while Grover Rotomatic tuners help maintain stable tuning, no matter how hard you play. The Bourbon Burst finish delivers a classic look, complemented by cream plastics and chrome hardware. Supplied with a soft shell case, it’s ready for life on the road or in the studio, offering consistent performance you can rely on.
