got my sg in 1992 and recently bought a studio smokehouse satin. absolutely love the studio. the color is so unique. the feel is amazing. best decision i made picking up a studio.
i bought the blue one, if you buy one you gotta do the following,replaced pickups with seymour duncan jb and jazz chrome,get kluson revolution tuners, and shunt the coil tap capacitor to ground,straplocks then my friends you got yourself a freakin goot axe.
I just bought the blue one (had to have a real debate with myself regarding the price). Its going to be the first thing i grab if my place catches on fire. That said how i justified the price was realizing the amount of money i spent trying to do what the guitar does on a budget and failing at it made me realized i should have done this years sooner and saved myself money long term.
The old Les Paul Tribute with binding 🤔 . I have a Les Paul tribute T with P90’s that cost £650 brand new in 2015 ! I bought another Tribute earlier this year before they discontinued them for £960 ! Absolutely fantastic guitars .
The ultra modern weight relief isn't a new feature, it was on the old model (which only disappeared at the end of last year, it's not been gone long!). The only changes are the pickups, the neck binding and the colours/knobs. From the way Gibson are marketing this you'd think it had been gone for years and has been completely transformed.
In a way I agree with you, but in my opinion it’s definitely a case of Gibson realizing what they did wrong with the new Studio they released earlier this year. Then actually doing the right thing for once and returning the Studio back to what people want it to be with the added benefits of different colors and different pickups(which are both obviously subjective and up to each individual to determine if it’s an improvement or not over the version discontinued last year).
I bought a 2010 Gibson LP Studio in wine red a week ago and I can’t put it down it’s so good. Binding means nothing to me. I actually never really liked it on any guitar. Thankfully mine has no coil taps either. Finicky messy stuff I can’t deal with.
Wow my living room has a maz 18, and a deluxe reverb, and the same ludwig drums. So in my opinion, nice gear you got there. (Also a studio plexi and 1965 twin, not that anyone cares)
You mentioned the weight relief but not how much they actually weigh. What is the weight please? My dodgy shoulder means they need to be a lot lighter than usual LPs. I haven't played my Standard for about 15 years as it's too painful, so would love a significantly lighter model. Cheers.
Hi There Our current stock of Les Paul Studios weigh between 7lb 9oz & 8lb 6oz. For full specs and weights, check out our website: www.peachguitars.com/gibson-les-paul-studio-2024-spec/
@@PeachGuitars Thanks I will, I'll also check my own guitars to see what my tolerable weight is. 8lbs may be my cut off point. So I think the lightest (7lb 9oz) might be OK, but need to check first.
I appreciate your enthusiasm and i like your playing. I don't think a 1,700$ / 1800€ guitar can be classified as "affordable". Affordable is something else. Simply by lacking originality and pushing nothing further (Gibson Style) a rebranding of a Gibson Tribute with binding and adding coil tap or split is shameful in my opinion. I sold my 2019 Tribute because I wasn't use it anymore, but a very capable guitar. Splitting/taping the coil gives a different sound, by far different from a true SC. Gibson is a corporation. They do corporate stuff.
I think the real issue is that at $1,700 you can buy an Eastman, Ibanez Prestige, etc., that cuts NO corners. There is so much mind blowingly better competition at this price point that I just don’t see why anyone would want these (the brand name, I know). Gibson hasn’t innovated anything in the market since the 60s, and that’s why they’ve been pushed lower and lower in my rankings over the years. I wouldn’t knock this guy though, they are a music store trying to sell merchandise after all :).
@@nvlddmkm1282my brother in Christ if you’re in the market for a Gibson Les Paul you’re definelty not looking at an Ibanez or an Eastman, also sometimes people just want the brand, why buy an iPhone when a Samsung phone does even more for less
Most people aren’t aware how good Japanese Tokai’s are. I have 4 of them. I want 2-3 more. I love those guitars. I wouldn’t play a Gibson if you gave it to me.
I think we all knew these were coming back sooner than later? But is this model even nessessary anymore? At least with PRS's SE line. Your in most cases, getting the same exact specs in a more affordable imported version. I can understand back in the day, a Studio had an honest reputation. But in today's market, it just kinda blends in with the rest of the many Gibson LesPaul variants. Gibson is gonna water down the LP model, to the point were they themselves will be struggling to describe them in any distinct manner, from the others. Epiphone is doing this exact same thing, ad nauseum. It's ridiculous.
@@jordanpratt3821 I have two Japanese Tokai Love Rocks that I paid $1550 for. That’s not one that’s for both of them. They wipe the floor with any Gibson I’ve ever played. I’ve owned 3 Gibsons.
I love les Paul, but at this point, Gibson has to start making more Strat style guitars with Floyd rose. Starting price should be be 800, but we know the end result.
Nice but i can do without the swiss cheese weight relief and the shoddy circuit board electronics. Solid & hand wired is not too much to ask for this price range.
I don't get it. The studio has always been a cheaper les paul. Now there's binding and burstbuckers and it's £1600 pounds. So many more affordable guitars these days that a £1600 les paul light. Not for me. These guitars were for beginners wanting into the gibson brand.
Gibson has the absolute WORST finish in the business. How does quality control let such pricy instruments go through with a finish so wavy I get sea sick looking at it. You can go to any guitar shop and look at the $99 guitar from wherever and the finish is flat and smooth. Look at a $3000 Gibson and bust out the dramimine. 🤮
The sales pitches are becoming sickening.Seriously and I'm not trolling.If I hear the ' familiar feel' again.He states he can't see where they cut the corners 😂 bro those guitars are utter dirt.The CS Les Paul's are horrible yet alone these mass produced plywood.👏👌🤣🤠🚫💩 VERSATILITY 🤢
@@binaryanticommunist1882 I have an ESP USA Eclipse and its really nice, but super expensive. For that vintage vibe I like the ESP Edwards. Mine looks just like Randy Rhoad's LP Custom and makes me smile every time I play it.

Excellent guitar really love mine
I prefer the neck binding without the body binding unlike my Standard. Gotta get me a Studio soon.

@peachguitars Hello Peach, can you tell me which amp you were playing through in the first segment with the wine red version?

Love the Blues tones, very cool, thank you for this review, thank you TH-cam ❤😂🎉
Great guitar 🎸
The old Les Paul Tribute with binding 🤔 . I have a Les Paul tribute T with P90’s that cost £650 brand new in 2015 ! I bought another Tribute earlier this year before they discontinued them for £960 ! Absolutely fantastic guitars .
But different pickups and a gloss nitro finish too.
That's awesome you got that good of deal new i paid 1600 for my tribute 1450 for my new studio and 4200 for my trad v

Is it better than the Epiphone LP Modern with locking Grovers, coil split & weight relief?

Vote for Trump maybe prices will come down 😂
@@DannyB24 trump is a puppet wake up!
I prefer Studios without neck binding, binding is not my thing at all and that is what a Studio is for me

In comparison to other lines I would say it is more affordable! Probably what he was getting at.

Im willing to pay a little extra for a quality instrument made in America. That means something to me.
What happened to the other guy
All that's missing are aesthetics; body binding and a pearl Gibson logo.
Wouldn’t be a Studio otherwise
@@JEUXolim There are other Gibson Les Pauls without binding and a pearl Gibson logo. The Tributes have neither, but they aren't Studios.
That spotlight behind you is annoying.
Looks like it got turned down for the second guitar 😅
Arriving today, a 2017 in black. Same minus neck binding and pick ups. £700 less than this.
More affordable ? Gone are the days when Gibson can claim any of their guitars are affordable.
Nobody:
This guy: "my name is sand beverage."
Nobody cares what a bassist has to say 😂
It's because I drink sand, isn't it? :(
@@homer7504You tell him Homer!😊
Wouldn't Tokais be a much better choice?
Played Tokais since 1983…….pick up a Black Custom for a grand…….or a Goldtop…….but I’ve had them all…….fantastic guitars..
Most people aren’t aware how good Japanese Tokai’s are. I have 4 of them. I want 2-3 more. I love those guitars. I wouldn’t play a Gibson if you gave it to me.
They may be very solid guitars but I’d rather buy a respective guitars main brand over their alternate competition
No there not I own 3 and 3 gibsons gibson is better qc

At least with PRS's SE line. Your in most cases, getting the same exact specs in a more affordable imported version.

Sounds and plays like a $900 guitar costs $1800. Well done Gibson!
Same to you boomer!
Where did you get to play one. Also there is no such thing as a 900 dollar American made guitar. It's been a while.

@@staggs5034good for you, bothered you enough to comment
Sounds like someone has penis envy.
Gosh, only $1,599! So affordable! I wonder how much of Gibson's profits go to paying their vast army of lawyers to sue other manufacturers.
uglu guitar , without white binding
I love les Paul, but at this point, Gibson has to start making more Strat style guitars with Floyd rose. Starting price should be be 800, but we know the end result.
Nice but i can do without the swiss cheese weight relief and the shoddy circuit board electronics. Solid & hand wired is not too much to ask for this price range.

Not for me. These guitars were for beginners wanting into the gibson brand.
It's still the cheaper les paul.
I would rather have a high end Epiphone Les Paul with more features.
I went and tried a studio against the 1959 epiphone and the studio sounded better. Epiphone felt nicer to play though.
Nitro vs poly. Prefer nitro
Nitro any day over poly ooh that smell !!
@@rickrevoir1683 and it feels more vibrant and is more authentic even if it isn’t “better” than poly

You're watching a shop that sells guitars, it's literally their job.
'Familiar feel'
The best Les Paul to buy is an ESP Edwards. They are inexpensive and better-quality control.
Even the Eclipse in its many varieties excites me more than this. Plus the PRS S2 594 SC.
