Here is my very first Gibson!
It is a 2013 Les Paul Studio, wine red. I did a lot of research before buying this one.
I tried out the 2014 LPJ's and the 2014 Studios, but this one came out on top. I didn't care for the 2014 Studios too much. The finish was poor, I don't like painted necks and the pick ups we little to be desired. I also wanted a mahogany neck, and the LPJ and 2014 studios have maple necks. The 2014 studio also comes with a gig bag, not a case. The LPJ on the other hand felt good and sounded great too, but this one was calling my name. Not a deal breaker, but the 2014's all have the 120 Anniversary inlay on the 12th fret. I didn't care for it.
This has the Modern Classic pick ups, 490R and 498T. The bridge pick up is nice and hot and cuts through nicely. The neck is a bit warmer.
I tested this against a 2013 vintage burst studio, same specs, but the wine red sounded better. I'm loving it so far, and I can't wait to crank it up at our next jam!

That's a beauty, those wine red finishes do it for me and I prefer the simplicity of the Studio range to the overblown fancy stylings of the more expensive models.

So yeah, I'll just sit here and wait patiently to hear a soundclip.

I'd love to post a clip, but my amp is at the jam space and no jam until at least this weekend. I'll see what I can do then!

Congratulations! Same pickups as in my SGJ, which I love.

Make sure she gets some good play time, and don't be afraid to roll back the tone a bit for some good old growls!

Yoda...Congrats on a very nice Les Paul Studio. Love that color, my Les Paul Special is the same color and it's pretty and classy at the same time.

Enjoy cranking it up at your next Jam!

Great guitar. It's not really a Les Paul if it doesn't have a mahogany neck. Good choice, congrats!
