Description
From its commercial debut in 1952, the Les Paul has been the instrument of choice for many of music's most renowned luminaries, and to the eye has remained virtually unchanged for over 60 years. The Gibson USA Les Paul Studio 2019 represents the essentials of what makes a Les Paul so special, like classic tone woods, iconic single-cut body shape with top carve, and 498T and 490R PAF-style humbuckers, as well as a number of key upgrades for comfort and versatility like ultra-modern weight relief, Slim Taper neck profile, one-piece rosewood fingerboard, and coil tapping for a wider sonic range than ever before. This guitar is left-handed.
About Gibson USA:
Luthier Orville Gibson founded the Gibson Mandolin-Guitar Mfg. Co. Ltd. in Kalamazoo, MI in 1902. Its original aim was to make mandolins and mandolin-family instruments. Over the last 100-plus years, Gibson Brands, Inc., as it is now known, has since evolved into the world’s premier manufacturer of semi-hollow and hollow body electric guitars, as well as a celebrated portfolio of innovative solid-body and acoustic models.
