[@johnoakleymusic]

I thought the studio was “the one”?! Now we have two “the ones”? Can’t be both? Only way to convince me either way would be to send me one to review on my guitar channel 🤪🤘🎸🥰

[@ereimul1444]

Les Paul studio the one that do it all. can we have Les Paul Classic with new colour please.

[@Smart-Alex]

It's the perfect Les Paul! Bought the exact top I wanted I wanted from Sweetwater while lying back in a dentist's chair mid-procedure. I'm not even joking.

[@clientmark]

You were dosed on nitro and halfway conscious?

[@Smart-Alex]

@ haha yes indeed!

[@fredericadda]

I never thought I would buy a Gibson Les Paul but this video blew me away. Love my brand new Les Paul Studio Session in Cobalt Blue Burst!

[@johnoakleymusic]

I have to say I think these are the sweet spot of the lineup now. No binding on the body doesn’t matter at all as looks more vintage anyway, the wiring updates and the neck heel joint cutaway together with awesome ebony fretboard makes this perfect especially at this money. I’d buy this over any other model for value for money

[@MrAjCalderon]

These coming out make so happy I didn’t pull the trigger on the modern studio. I really liked those but wasn’t getting along with the porous non grain filled finish of the studio modern. These having all the same features but a more traditional finish make the GAS burn bright

[@homeworldmusic]

Gibson really seems to be at a pinnacle this year, congratulations to all involved on such an exceptional collection of instruments.

[@bryantcochran5065]

Great explanation of all the options and how they actually work.

[@gibson]

Glad it’s helpful!

[@OrdinaryNimda]

Nice stuff, specs and the sounds... And what was really added value was the theoretical breakdown of the 57 Classic and Burstbucker pickups. Love the Burstbucker, especially #1 on the Standard, but currently do not YET have a guitar with 57 Classics. Great episode!

[@keithmartin1067]

Interesting and informative - thanks! Great-sounding! It's good to hear an acknowledgement of Seth Lover.

[@PauloDaSilva-ei3iz]

Bring the Tribute back, please!

[@ricklynn6176]

I’m always surprised that they don’t mention right off the bat one of the biggest changes they made to the new studios that everybody loves is the fact that they put the Gibson logo in real MOP. And not just a stamped decal. Makes it feel more premium.

[@allanb1402]

These look great. That heel access joint would solve the biggest issue I have with a Les Paul. I think I need to check these out!

[@musicnmotors]

I have 2 Gibson Les Paul Standards - 50s Goldtop w/p90s & 60s Unburst, but now I want this haha Les Paul Studios are cool. Who cares if they cost more, everything does. That’s life. Rock on people 🤘🏽

[@Michael-zs7yy]

Nic e,I like the session line. Studio less paul always been my favorite lesspaul.

[@gibson]

Cool, thanks!

[@TayTayKemp]

Great job Dinesh!!! Hope to see you again soon!

[@gibson]

Thanks for watching, I appreciate it!

[@brianmckenzie1318]

Great video Dinesh (and Jim). So helpful to have all the features explained! Geeky question, does Gibson have anything like a downloadable spreadsheet where you can look at one page and see all the differences between Les Paul models (for easy comparison) in one view?

[@adajay9257]

These are great guitars for on-the-road. Affordable, Versatile, Great Looking and Sounding, and Gibson.

[@gibson]

I couldn’t agree more!

[@schneiderdede]

These are nice, so we have the studio, modern studio and studio session

[@CustomChris]

There will be always people who hate Gibson just for it’s existence. From my experience, these are mostly people who can’t effort one. Nowadays it’s so easy to buy one at a good price on the used market. I’ve owned so many Gibsons over the years from cheap Melody Makers to Collector‘s Choice and I was happy with every of these. So lively and mostly holding the value when purchased used. After 12 years of searching I finally found my personal dream guitar. A 2006 Double Diamond 335 in Pearl White. So rare that even Gibson has no records of these. Plays so beautiful und sounds so round. Thanks Gibson for building so beautiful instruments. Haters gonna hate but a Gibson will always be a Gibson.

[@blakebowles6625]

GREAT JOB GIBSON!!!!!!

[@jonnichols3236]

Those look cool! I like them! Big fan.

[@Jbustosalazar]

Truly this video helps me in a decision maker take.... thanks.

[@gibson]

I'm glad it was helpful!

[@dragan4658]

Some will praise this guitar and some will not. Gibson did a good job on the new studio line!

[@Cinestudi0]

Blueberry burst is such a cool stage colour

[@BeGoodBe]

Love that blue!

[@bobgreen3116]

Hey guys, great video. I bought an article white in 2016. Love the guitar. My question is the white is not near as white as when I bought it. I'm 73 and the guitar goes nowhere except from case to me playing it in my guitar room. What can be done to get the white back like it was? Thanks Bob

[@johnvanepps]

So Dinesh... Is it time to replace my "Blueshawk"? That Studio Session IS sweet!

[@michaelbowman6737]

Man I really like that blue one

[@aaronevetts1078]

I have a studio from 2000. I love it. I play it the most. More then my custom, my Mia fender Strat and my PRS. The studio is amazing it's playability, it's sound, and I am not afraid to bring it places and play it. I always worry with the others. Not the studio... When I play sketchy places, I bring out my Les Paul Jr. And only play that. My second favourite guitar... Love my Jr.

[@michaelallen434]

I love my studio, but this really ticks all the boxes for me to add another. It seems to sit right between my standard and studio. Plus, you can never have too many Les Pauls!

[@z.z.onichi5365]

Id buy a gibson es235 aquamarine finish but it was made and discontinued in such a short time frame that i never seen it before it was gone. This one seems nice and great set of features. Sounds nice

[@benlogan430]

Studios are the stuff. I’ve got a mahogany top faded, Studio pro, studio plus and just a regular black studio w/ amber tint and gold hardware. These look the stuff too!

[@Popskull_666]

I like the studio having the bound neck

[@yarrokon]

I just purchased the Translucent Ebony Burst from @Sweetwater! I'll be playing next week. ❤

[@homeworldmusic]

I noticed that for the first time on the Long and McQuade demo tonight: was lusting after the blue until I saw the ebony. Dreamy!

[@yarrokon]

@@homeworldmusic Yeah, my wife and I were the same. The blue got our attention, the black sealed the deal. 😂

[@Somenite]

Good choice. It's the best color on these for sure.

[@frankhandy7345]

Will you please get the lead out WE WANT A NATURAL TOP!!!!!!

[@jamesmcccarney8331]

Demo please of the recently released ES 330. Cheers.

[@philcorymusic]

Jim is the man, these Guitars get used a lot! Good move! 👍

[@Hammonds77]

That honeyburst and cherry sunburst look the best to me

[@R1GAMBLER]

Ebony on everything!

[@kanesword9528]

Love the blue :), is the back black or blue?

[@scottiepark1420]

Hope to see these in lefty!

[@Lakota1959]

Wow I just bought a Studio,, now I want to trade up, man oh man.

[@bukwok]

i think cream pickup ring and pickguard looks better with blue/green guitar.

[@paulmartinez2069]

Now bring the Gibson les Paul studio ebony with the gold hardware 😮‍💨👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 (maybe the Gibson les Paul studio custom? )

[@scottanderson4175]

I just left Guitar Center and they have 50’s and 60’s Gibson Les Paul Standards for $2,249 😉

[@victorbr234]

wow, it feels like 2019 all over again

[@adamwatson6916]

Alot of people ripped out their 57 classics in the 90s and 2000s because they thought they were too dark and muddy but the issue was the 300k pots. Most people didn't know about the pots and bought new pickups when all they had to do was get some 500k pots . With 500k pots 57 classics have plenty of brightness and bite with the pots on 10 .

[@timmypix]

Isn't this just a Studio Modern with different pickups? Or is this replacing it?

[@fuzzfizz]

So the Studio Session is a Modern Studio with neck binding and different pickups.

Hot Damn! I'm totally in love!!

[@JTB--]

I'm a PRS guy, but these new Studio Session LP have piqued my interest. How is the weight on these Studio Session guitars?

[@binaryanticommunist1882]

Holy Nitro Batman. How about a Faded version?

[@adamwatson6916]

In Canada these are 2700 plus 15 percent sales tax . Thats is insane money for studio . That is halfway to my next R8 . At the price save a little more money and get a 50s or 60s standard or save a little more and get an R8.

[@waynegram8907]

What is considered Offset Coil pickups? offset coils meaning what

[@jabespagan]

So, is this a Modern Studio with different pick ups?

[@Somenite]

It has the 57 classic set instead of the burstbuckers they put in the regular studios.

[@benrios7902]

I will admit that it does sound better than the new Les Paul studio with the burstbuckers. I like these pickups better

[@MarbsMusic]

Guess it's time to get another Les Paul!

[@MarbsMusic]

Went by just to "look" yesterday as I knew the store had a Bourbon Burst... flawless, went back to day and got it and I love it! Looks great next to my 2017 Standard HP! Truly it plays amazing and the ebony fretboard feels so nice!

[@PhillipHolt-f9r]

I'm 70 years old and I wish I could afford the guitar you're talking about

[@NBLP7001]

Went to my GC and was pretty disappointed with the quality. They brought it out to me still in the sealed box from the factory. The tone knob for the bridge pickup looked like it had melted. Digits 4-8 were a smeared mess. The pickup ring for the bridge wasn't screwed all the way down. The neck pickup was sloping downhill in the cavity. That's cosmetic and can be fixed easily. When i tried to switch from the neck pickup to the bridge, nothing. Had to fiddle with it for a minute before i got anything. I went in to buy today, but that turned me off real quick. I couldn't believe that guitar passed QC and went out the door.

[@samfrombelgium]

Imo its something the store should inspect for you. I know for big guitar stores its impossible but a local shop should check for faults and returned it to gibson. That should be the way to go...

[@stephentubbs2816]

Bummer. Mine was great off the GC wall ( behind the counter though )

[@johnoakleymusic]

So what’s the deal with advertising the new studio one session as having advanced modern weight relief when the studio has the same thing?? Also why aren’t the Burstbucker pros good enough now?

[@djaybeetoo]

I hope a southpaw version comes out too

[@goniseukurac5911]

What a beauties ,I am gonna buy one even though I can play only one song on a acoustics guitar "house of the rising sun" 😂

[@SouthpawSatch]

Where are the left handed models???

[@dirktucker77]

If they would have done SS frets it would be perfect.

[@aguyholding1024]

should have done a purple center burst to blue

[@NicholasANappiNick]

Why don’t you put a few more knobs on that amp 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@noysdn4001]

What happened to studio robo?

[@Monsoon83946]

Yeah man, getting the job done with a g string, that goes out of tune all the time! Awesome! 👍 Gibson rules!

[@Pejter-tt3me]

Nice guitars but they are too expensive, we need Tribute series. I love Les Paul but for one Gibson I have three Fenders from the new Player II series : I

[@kaan8296]

I would prefer Kluson style tuners and satin neck.

[@rocknrollresignation93]

Still no jumbo frets

[@PhillipHolt-f9r]

The Gibson version is15 grand and the Epiphone is270.

[@adamwatson6916]

Jimmy Page Never used out of phase tones during led Zeppelin . He didn't have Phase switches on his les Pauls untill after Led Zeppelin and even then he rarely used it . His backup 59 Les Pauls got Phase switching in 1981 and his number 1 les Paul got a single push pull pot for phase switching in the mid 90s . No phase switches or coil taps during Zeppelin .

[@lewismcnicholas2631]

I’d love a full fat 50s spec in the ebony burst

[@mlkorade]

If the idea is to build a versatile guitar that a broad spectrum of players can use, then put a 59 style standard C neck on it. Not too thin or thick. By putting a SlimTaper neck on it, Gibson eliminated half the buyers who prefer a more rounded neck profile. Standard 59 C, sell more guitars.

[@seyhuns9802]

You look original like trent crimm from Ted lasso

[@styrenebuilds6851]

Let the whining begin

[@samyose3882]

I sold my lp standard and purchased a copy and it out performs the standard by far. Best decision I made, now I will sell my explorer and again replace it with a copy with an explorer with a Japanese trem.

[@Oldmanhenderson12]

I can hear trogly’s voice “well you know it’s not the ORIGINAL screws used during the norlin era, but hey that’s what you get nowadays”

[@SK-qd4sr]

The current “diversification” of the Gibson USA portfolio reminds of the late Henry J. era. You have a „Studio“, „modern studio“ and now a „Studio Session“ in your line up. It’s becoming so many similar models that it starts to get confusing and new models require a lengthy introduction to point out what the differences to other models in the portfolio are. You are starting to loose the clear and understandable product strategy (original- and modern collection) from the 2019 brand revamp.

[@lewismcnicholas2631]

Yeah I feel a bit like that - I don’t see Gibsons as something you mess around with - you want it thick and heavy with tons of mojo - maybe I’m just getting older 😂

[@SK-qd4sr]

@@lewismcnicholas2631that’s not what I am concerned about. I like that they try something new and different in the modern collection. You still have the original collection for more vintage spec‘d guitars or the Custom Shop at a higher level. What I don’t get is why are there some many very similar varieties of the same guitar (here LP Studio) in lineup at the same time. It’s cool to refresh your product lines at regular intervals, but maybe you should phase out the old models when introducing a new variety to keep the product portfolio tidy. But I am not a product manager so I might not understand the subject

[@Ottophil]

I have 4 SG’s a special, standard, gothic, and now a modern. I love that i can have the same shape with different specs.

[@SK-qd4sr]

@ You are talking about different models, special vs. standard vs. gothic. I talk about the amount of variations of the same model (LP Studio) available at the same time.

[@ChrisShortyAllen]

Try therapy. I can handle the pressure personally but not with margarine brands.

[@iancurrie8844]

Man, a LP really needs binding. It just looks incomplete without it, especially in the honeyburst.

[@Akuarius1987]

the price.....

[@PJCobi]

2K for a studio? You can get a used Standard for less.

[@Cinestudi0]

Or a normal studio for 1k

[@benlogan430]

$1,599 is the map for the studio.

[@PJCobi]

@ *_I see them used in excellent condition all day for $900_*

[@Somenite]

I'd go used standard myself, but I get the price on these. They are $400 more than a regular studio but you're getting the "modern" features, 57 classic pickup set, double a top and the ebony fingerboard. It seems to fit into the LP range properly. That said, I think Gibson is going overboard with different models and color options at this point and getting away from the simplified lineup approach they started in late 2019.

[@rayadray9279]

Not for $2k 👎👎👎👎 Bring back the Tribute. Put push pulls in it and binding on the neck. Love the Tribute for the secondary LP line. If your going to spend the extra on this Studio...You might as well spend a couple dollars more and get the Traditional pro. This studio doesn't make sense for a smart guitarist and sure is not a more affordable way to get the different tones. ( bring back the Tribute with some extras trust me )*

[@adamwatson6916]

At least they finally ditched those god awful 490 and 498 pickups and put some good pickups in Their . 57 classics are great pickups so at this price you should be getting 57 classics or Burstbuckers .

[@johnoakleymusic]

Please go back to just providing the scratchplate pickguard rather than fitting it. We don’t all want holes when we make them look better without them and that way the ones who want them still get their choice too

[@michaelkeudel8770]

$1,900 for a Studio model is highway robbery. I paid $600 for my 79 Standard in 81 brand new off the shelf.

[@tsigo2]

Brian May les Paul basicaly! I think Gibson also prepares for a Brian May replica for the first time.

[@Max_94]

That's just stupid 😂

[@seyhuns9802]

Unfortunately the wrong pickups

[@davemeshamsr6000]

Kind of convoluted system that still confuses me…even after much explanation

[@starrguitarworks]

Gibson just doesn’t get it. People don’t buy a Les Paul for coil tapping, access heel joint, and phase switching. Hard pass. Just build a damn alpine white Studio with an ebony board.

[@GregKuper-c8p]

That is the exact right color, Sir. Good call.

[@wallofrock6725]

The best Studio they ever made. I made the same comment a while back.

[@happyspearo4334]

The electronics are a great plus if you have talent. They make 2 white Les Pauls. A studio and a 5000+ Les Paul, just don’t be cheap. Not like you couldn’t get the guitar painted white. Don’t whine, just make the guitar you want or buy the 5000+ Standard.

[@starrguitarworks]

@ Cool story.

[@ericajohnson7535]

Dang. A studio that costs 2000 dollars.

[@kimL93]

Ebony board no way

[@seyhuns9802]

Why

[@R1GAMBLER]

Ebony > Light Rosewood ...evan the CS rosewood is too light

[@TommySG1]

I’ve played so many with so many different boards and it’s personal preference obviously, to me though, ebony boards look and feel the very best and there’s a perfectly good reason why they typically categorize an ebony board as an ‘upgrade’ imo.

[@robinpercey1]

No lefties, that sucks

[@candlestickproductions6950]

studios are popular because they aren't in the over-priced nose bleed section of Gibson pricing (5 grand for a Les Paul Custom... come on...) that only doctors and lawyers can afford... thank God for Epiphone, for the rest of us...

[@michaelmetal71]

so it’s $2000 and no left handed versions,no thanks

[@JeremyChildress]

Sounds way too trebly and not warm enough and not enough bite A 50’s LP Standard still sounds better

[@colinrobertson4569]

So we're back to this are we? Don't call us fans, call us customers. Almost 2k for this in the UK. No thanks.

[@silverhammerr]

you can't put together: affordable and gibson 🤣

[@andrewbecker3700]

This Gibson rep dude looks like he borrowed his wig from Choaca, the little kid off "The Land Of The Lost". Seems like a nice enough guy, but he takes a lot of flack in the comments. Doesn't seem to have a clue? I'll take his job, no problem.

[@PlatinumBlack90038]

Phillip Paley played the character Cha-Ka.

How much?

[@Viewer20222]

Wish they stop releasing the same common colors. Where is the Green Olive drab, a dark purple burst, blonde/white, even a Gold Top Studio or a shell pink one. I bought that blueberry burst "the One" Studio and although I do like the extras on this session, I would be inclined to buy another this new version as well if the color palette offering were different. And if the asking price is 2k, just throw in the hard shell case. 🥸
