I own a 1992 Gibson Les Paul Studio that I will never part with. All who have played it love it. It is lightweight (although not the Studio Lite) ebony fretboard, wine red with gold hardware. Plays amazing! Early 90’s Les Paul Studios are the finest Gibson has ever made.

[@Earl00001]

I loved watching Jerry play that guitar in "Would". I actually bought a worn brown studio when they came out around 10 years ago. It reminded me of the guitar in the video. Thanks TTK for actually revealing what kind of Gibson that was.

[@GustavoDubbern]

I have an 93' sunburst Studio Lite. Also with 500t /496r. Another really cool thing is the Slim-Taper neck! It was one of the best Gibson I've ever played.

[@nalukeko]

Well since you asked in order of acquisition: '92 Studio Lite | '05 Standard Faded 60s neck w/Seymour Duncan SkinnerBursts, Faber hardware, 50s wiring | '18 R9 | '11 Special Doublecut w/Wolfetone P90s, Montreux hardware, 50s wiring w/orange drops and Dunlop SuperPots | '73 Custom Black Beauty I've found that all my GibsonUSA models needed a proper crowning job and setup after which they play amazingly and ring out forever.

[@cemsarioglu5947]

I have a sunburst ‘91 Les Paul Studio Lite which I bought in 1996. I bought and sold many guitars but always kept my Lite with me. Perfect neck for my hand. Huge sound and a light weight mahogany body. Thank you for sharing your gourgeous guitars.

[@LawrencePetross]

I have a '90 Les Paul Studio Lite. Black with black hardware. Not the trans-black that's in the catalog pics but deep "I could swim in that" black. I have never seen another like it. I purchased it from one of my professors at music college who was a Gibson endorsee for $500 with the original hard case. Of the 7 Les Pauls I have purchased (Standards, Customs, re-issues), it's the only one I have bonded with and the only one I still have. It's an amazing instrument!

[@jacksonmarshallkramer5087]

Zero complaints on the amp selection and display. Very nice.

[@Atttuner]

you said you were going to explain why you didn't start collecting multiple guitars til later in life - it's an amazing collection congrats

I have the 93 studio lite ,its wine red with the same black hardware and ebony neck.I paid 700 with the case froma pawn shop. Thanx for sharing. Mine is definetly a player, The neck is awesome. love it...Knoxville Tn.

[@stevehammer781]

Nice! I have a '97 Studio Lite. Your Studio Lite is an early year model with translucent paint (should be a TBK (Transluscent Black) with black hardware. Mine is a later model '97 which they switched from translucent finishes/black hardware to traditional finishes with gold hardware (mine is VS). All Lites came with those hotrod 496/500T pickups. That 500T pickup is a double bladed ceramic (if memory serves) and its a screamer. What's interesting about the Lite is, the core is chromyte (African balsa which is actually a tonewood) inside mahogany. The 9 weight relieved holes under the maple top are also plugged with the African chromyte. This makes the guitar highly resonant with that "ring" acoustically. Pair it up with that 500T and its a screamer. You got a beauty there!

[@BenCoombs]

Great video my man!! As much as I love seeing these guitars, I love the stories behind them!! Cheers!!

[@scarmyguitar]

Howdy bud!

[@bryansimmons4550]

06:55 I own a 1991 Studio Lite that I bought used close to 20 years ago. The face is a dark chocolate brown color, but Gibson didn't list that color. The rest of the guitar is extremely dark brown, almost black. The finish is factory original, so I have no idea what the story is behind it. All of my research indicated that the guitar was factory-equipped with 496R and 500T pickups. I could not verify that, but I replaced them with Seymour Duncan pickups, anyway. It now sports an SH-2 Jazz model in the neck and SH-4 JB model in the bridge, and both of them are coil split. I absolutely love the feel of that neck, and the action is amazingly low, without fretting out. The frets are still original with a lot of wear left. This is one guitar I will keep forever!

[@stevehogan8829]

I do like my Gibson Les Paul Custom Lite. The weight is tollerable at 7 something and I've finally gotten used to playing it with the different scale length. Just seems funny orienting to it after playing the longer scale length.

[@Factory_Muff]

I got a 1999 Standard Tobacco Burst that came from Mandolin Bros, a Epiphone burst from 93 that mom bought new from Sam Ash on Queens Boulevard, and a 92 Studio that’s in the mail. It’s an out of state LP. Possibly Wisconsin. Can’t wait to play it. Let’s go UPS!

[@jrp7837]

The Ocean Blue guitar is one of the best looking Les Pauls I've ever seen.

[@Esrom_music]

My main Axe for the last decade has been the studio lite miii Edit: but swapped the two Gibson hums for evolutions

[@nalukeko]

Unless the color shows way different on my screen or the finish faded over the years, the Lite is not Root Beer. I've got a '92 trans-blue with black hardware. That was my first LP. It's wicked.

[@1PUTTZ]

"What I really wanted was a Les Paul, Pellum Blue with P90s..." (proceeds to pull one out)...well OK then! Problem solved.

[@TheZooropaBaby]

actually LP Studio in early 90s is basically the holy grail of affordable guitars, I heard that they're basically like LP standard but much less expensive

[@shaunw9270]

I always wanted a blue Les Paul Studio Gem series . There were a few colours but the blue with cream soap bar P90'S was just wicked .

[@han36solo]

My fav is the blue classic with hums. The satin finish is so beautiful. Sweet lps Louis! I have a couple old Tokai's, a Love Rock and a Les Paul Reborn.

[@thetonekingofficial]

Thank you hans!

[@ferox965]

I have a 2001 LP Standard and a 2003 Special. Specials are the most underrated Pauls ever.

[@vocalvoodoo]

The color of your LP Studio Lite is translucent black. I have the same one and pulled the pups which has TBK written in the pup cavity. And yeah, it’s a smooth player and those pups are HOT.

[@markbois1713]

I also have a BFG just like that. BFG stands for barely finished guitar from what I've heard all Les Pauls look like that before they sand them I don't know if this is true but that would explain why the finger board is recessed. I also have the humbucker model I named them after my parents Andy and Marge I bought them with some of my inheritance money after dad passed away.

[@shaunw9270]

They don't grain fill the mahogany on them 👍

[@robphegan90]

I have the exact same 1992 Studio lite. The colour range for these models were all translucent. And this one was advertised as Translucent Black.

[@GTX1123]

90's LP Studio Lite are great guitars. Fast action w the thin 60's neck / ebony fret board. My 91 came with a 500T in the bridge which was a one trick pony so I replaced bridge and neck PU's w Alnico 2's. The neck replacement was great but the bridge PU was feckless. These are weight relieved guitars so you need some muscle in the bridge. I'm gonna swap out the alnico 2 bar magnet in the bridge with a roughcast 5. That should give it punch and drive but retain clarity

[@stringrip]

Good suggestion about Way Back Machine . Have checked this site for non musical sites before but never occurred to me to use it to look up instrument specs. I have some early 2000's Ibanez guitars that I was curious about . On Waybackmachine there were quite a number of Ibanez.com pages going back to 1999 and they were mostly still working and you could click on icons to open up further info and I found the specs I was looking for . Cheers.

[@christianutter5383]

"Chromite" = balsa wood and "ebony" = Richlite. My Lite has a 500T in the bridge.

[@stevehogan8829]

Chromite is a mineral, it is iron chromium oxide.

[@christianutter5383]

@@stevehogan8829 Correct but it's also what Gibson marketing team used. "Gibson did use the name 'Chromite' in their description (derived from Ochroma Lagopus, the Latin name for Balsa) "

[@chrisgrabowski2678]

Hey! So my opinion regarding putting the P90s is this: you bought the guitar expecting P90s. The gentleman mailed them to you in good faith. He understood you didn't receive what you expected. I think you should put the P90s in and not look back. If you're not putting the P90s in, I believe it would speak to your character to mail them back.

[@aaronderrick5721]

The 1990 cherry burst w/gold hardware...ooooo..NICE!!! I would keep that for life

[@mdrumt]

I have a Studio Lite in that exact colour, I love it, it's a lighter guitar, and not as dark as higher spec lessies

[@MrBiggordy]

I recently bought my first Gibson Les Paul - a beautiful maroon (Wine Red?) Studio, c.2007: ceramic 490R/498T p'ups. Looks, sounds and plays fantastic.

[@nalukeko]

hmm, 490 and 498 are not ceramic. Unless you changed magnets.

[@axegrindin]

Looks like the trans black guitar is an 05 standard premium plus. I have two studio lites, 1993 that is a brown Birdseye or blistered maple top (not sure which) and a 1994 trans blue. Pickups are 496R (neck) and 500T (bridge). Also have a 2008 studio with ebony fretboard and a 2011 standard traditional pro but the studio lites play better IMHO. Don't really know why but Gibson was definitely doing something right with them.

[@DR440]

I'm betting the Studio Lite has the 496/500 pickup set. The same set that came standard in Explorers and V's for years. They even had a Les Paul Studio Lite with M-III electronics. They had 496/500t with single coil in middle and a 5 way selector.

[@PhilMoseleyMusic]

Great video TTK thanks for sharing your collection with us! I would definitely put the p90s in there, I just got my first p90s guitar and can't put it down they sound so good! But you do already have a couple of p90 LPs... I like the top on that second one too man, really nice finish. BFG is really cool too but if I had to pick a favorite (hard to do) it would be your LP Custom! That is one beautiful guitar! Really nice collection of Les Pauls, each have something unique to the rest!

[@hawg427]

When I was in High School 1977 me and my buddies went into our local guitar store and would always drool over the Gibson 1976-77 LP Custom ( Black Beauty ) it was around $900 My First Gibson LP Traditional was a 2008 Ice TeaBurst, then I finally got one close to my grad year. Couldn't find a 1977 so I did find a sweet 1980 LP Custom, now this week I will have my 3rd LP, a Gibson LP Custom Shop 59 re-issue. Got that one at Chicago Music.

[@konaken1035]

The first LesPaul is totally sweet!!! I favor black speed nobs on Gibsons and steel nobs on Fender Telecasters. Epiphone headstock look instantly bugs me.. Real or no deal.

[@dennisbutler8393]

[@user-qr7ee2cp4y]

That custom plus is a beautiful guitar. I usually don't like the cherry finish les Paul's, but I love that one. If you know what you want and you know you're going to stick with something, there's nothing wrong with going right to the high end stuff.

[@thetonekingofficial]

Thank you K

[@justincourtney8691]

I have the same p90 bfg. The fretboard is down in the pocket lower because the guitar was not slack belt or finish sanded. That would've brought the level down to how we would expect to see a fretboard fit on the top. The "barely finished guitar " is just how it came off the CNC carver. Very quick production and few man/woman hours required, hence the low cost. Great guitar too. Plays great

[@thetonekingofficial]

Interesting information. Thank you Justin.

[@telejr2468]

Right. This was the guitar you could play without worrying about getting your pretty finish messed up. Originally they came with a humbucker in the bridge and a P90 in the neck.

[@HearGear]

I have the BFG Les Paul with P90 to... as a matter of a fact I have both the 2007 BFG and the 2018 with P90´s...

Buying a Les Paul takes all day...If you are like me, even though you have your heart set on the standard with the cherry sunburst...you have to play every guitar in the store, a couple of times...That's when bonds are formed, they all have six strings, but each is a bit different...I have way too many guitars...but yeah, I'm interested...tune it up...

Around '92 I remember seeing a Custom Plus like yours but in natural, it looked awesome. Maybe 2 or 3 years later I saw a Standard (not a Classic, which had a broader selection of colors) in translucent yellow or amber, also looked awesome. They definitely offered finishes that the catalog didn't list.

That “Gruhn Studio” has got to be one of my favorite guitar buying stories. You talked them on price down quite a bit from what I remember (and got a set-up thrown in).

[@terrylstarks]

TK, everyday since Gibson announced about the new 50’s Original Standard, I have gone back and forth on it or the PRS Singlecut/Doublecut 594. One day it’s one, the next day it’s the other. So please do a show on the PRS’s you own because there are a few UTubers opinions I respect and you are one of them and I want to pull the trigger soon. Thanks!!!!!

[@BAMozzy69]

As someone with a 594 and tried a 50's Standard LP, I would say it really depends on what you are looking for. The Gibson has the heritage and the look (especially if you like the scratch plate and the bass/treble disc). You also save a LOT of money if buying new but they can have 'minor' fit and finish issues - not that they affect tone and playability. Pick-ups are also a bit hotter too. The 594 though is the better 'instrument'. It doesn't have 'fit/finish' issues, the bridge and locking tuners are better too, the headstock is better designed so much less liable to break or have tuning stability issues. The Pick-ups are more vintage sounding with more clarity and note definition (depends on what you yourself prefer as to whether you prefer this or the Gibson). The 594 also allows you to split the PU's giving you more tonal options. At the end of the day, the choice really comes down to you. The difference in price is now bigger and Gibson has the 'name', the heritage. PRS though has the consistency and quality - its PRS taking a 'classic' and looking at 'everything' and then improving on it - but that quality comes at a price. I can't tell you what you should do - its something you should try yourself and decide. I love Gibson LP's myself but I couldn't let my heart over-rule my head when I knew that the PRS is the better, more consistent and more stable instrument. Its up to you as to whether you listen to your heart or your head, whether the extra cost of a PRS is worth it to you or not.

[@thetonekingofficial]

Thank you Terry. yes, I will cover my PRS collection soon. Thank you for the feedback!

[@Rico_B]

[@JetFixxxer]

The 2018 BFG isn't chambered, the earlier models are chambered. The 2018 really doesn't compare to earlier models. The reason your finger board is recessed into your body is that because it comes off the CNC and they don't sand it down to specs. The only sanding they do is to smooth it out. I have a Gary Moore BFG and it's a very versatile guitar with the P90/Humbucker combo. I own several Gibson Les Paul '09 Studio all Mahogany, '10 50's Tribute (Original release) '10 Gary Moore BFG, '12 Traditional all Mahogany, '12 Studio, '13 Traditional (non weight relief), and '17 Traditional Pro III. FYI Previously to 2014 Gibson used Julian date in their serial number so a 2011 Guitar would look like this 10071XXX. The 1st and 5th are the year and the others is the day, it would be January 7, 2011. The number following 5th are production numbers. Of course there are exception to these when it comes to reissues etc. Since JC took over they went back to using the Julian date.

That rootbeer one is sweet!!!

"Sir.. I have seen Rootbeer, I have smelled Rootbeer, I have drank Rootbeer and that Sir is NO Rootbeer!" I dont know what it is..it turned me off immediately but as you discussed it, it really started growing on me fast.. I guess because its not flashy but still very unique.. Nice collection. Great stories.. And please.. Don't bother putting the Seymore P90s in to the classic..you bought the one you wanted so enjoy the P90s in that, if its not broke or sounding like a thin Chibson pickup..why bother? Looks great as it, its stock and really you don't need another P90 guitar.. Love both pelham blue finishes.. sig Player Plus is my favorite of your collection.. Love satin finish and you got it by MISTAKE!!😆..I was curious on your opinion of the Rich-lite board on the one that had it. I am looking for a model called a Gibson Studio "Shred" that has it, its blacked out and has a floyd rose in it, it comes blacked out or with chrome trim which is gorgeous on the model.. Rich-lite?? Or not to Rich-lite...that Sir is my Question...Thanks!
