Thank you for doing this episode, Amigo!! This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I'm picking me up a studio. Thanks again!!

[@DrJeebles]

Perfect video. Thank you for the comparison notes. Great playing as always. Some of these finishes look better without binding. Smokehouse Burst is my favorite and I think it looks a little off with binding. I wish they did a Tribute in Smokehouse. I like the satin finish.

[@christianknobloch934]

I just bought the Tangerine Burst in August. Great guitar!

[@PaulCooksStuff]

Here's a thought ... while you've got all those LP bursts hanging next to eachother on the wall, do a quick flyby camera shot and mention the name of each burst. We're all pretty used to seeing isolated photos of individual guitars, but it's not that often they're all lined up in one shot through the same camera and lighting for side by side comparison.

I really like the new Studios, but I think that they’re not really meant to be a pricey off-the-shelf guitars that they’re now, but rather a pawn shop find that plays just as good as any 2000-20000$ Les Paul, yet only costs small part of their price. TBF I am biased on this, since I’ve never bought a brand new guitar, but when you’re looking for a new guitar and compare a 800-1000$ 2010 Studio in Wine Red, and new 1700$+tax Studio in Wine Red, the only difference you’ll find is that old one has few dings/scratches and a proper set-up.

[@davidwilkins5932]

That’s very light, even for the weight relieved models. Where individual weights are listed, such as Sweetwater, the average was about 8.5 pounds, with quite a few being 9. Mine is a ‘22 model, and it’s 8.5. Great guitar, and I got lucky with a top that has better flame than many of the high-end models I’ve seen. But mine is cherry burst. It’s rather striking, because the center of the burst isn’t yellow-ish the way most are, but natural maple. I’ll probably keep it forever.

[@rocktorrocks]

Just got a 1990 Gibson Les Paul studio with ebony fretboard, love it. And with current Epiphone LP prices, it wasn’t that much more than what a new Epiphone LP costs. I do love the Epi 59 outfit LPs though.

[@renek243]

Good for you! The 90s studio's with ebony fretboards are pretty rare and are becoming somewhat collectible these days. Also, no print circuit board, coil splitting, ultra modern weight relief or other shenanigans on these older ones. I also prefer the old style Gibson Deluxe tuners on these over the kidney shaped chrome ones on the recent models. I own a 1994 Studio Gold in ebony finish, which I bought brand new at the time. Mine has a rosewood fretboard but that rosewood is of a beautiful quality. I also like the gold hardware on mine, combined with the ebony finish it makes the guitar look really classy. i remember taking it home from the shop and it was immaculate, the finish, set up, just a beautiful instrument, almost three decades later it has a little wear here and there, but it still looks the part and I'm still somewhat in love with it. At the time I really wanted the Standard but I couldn't afford one, nowadays it wouldn't hit a dent in my budget, but even though the Standard is a gorgeous looking and sounding instrument, I frankly don't feel the need anymore.

[@rocktorrocks]

@@renek243 Thanks! Glad to hear you’re also happy with your 90s studio. Sounds like an awesome Les Paul. I fully agree.

I don’t much care for the more modern features on the recent studios.

I’ve played a Korean Epi LP since ‘94. My kids gave it to me for Father’s Day. It’s been all over the US and a couple other countries. But, the frets are done, and not going to be cheap to refret and it has too much sentimental value. So she’s going to my son. Love that guitar…… Ordered a new bourbon burst studio today.

[@mikaelflodstrom6370]

Fits like a glove

[@markpell8979]

Another difference between coil tapping and splitting is the tap style remains a humbucker, which is a thing worth considering. Pros and cons but it should be an informed decision. I have a wine red Studio, this sunburst finish model looks great! I like red guitars but if this was available when I bought mine I might've gone for it. One inobvious advantage of the non-bound LP body is that the subtle roundover edge makes these more comfortable against your body and forearm. Makes a surprising difference.

[@gearmeister]

Right on, I've got one Les Paul that sounds like a Strat or a Tele, gold foil pickups did the trick. So, I've found that Splitting or tapping on a LP sounds like a thinner Les Paul to me.

[@markpell8979]

@@gearmeister Right, not a Fender single sound for sure. Also not a P90 sound exactly when you split a Gib/Epi bucker.

[@OldeDog_NewTricks]

A solid maple top with a veneer for cosmetics offers the same tone quality as a solid maple top without the veneer. It’s just a lot easier to source the maple and apply a thin veneer without discarding because the grain doesn’t look nice enough.

[@maraviyoso8473]

Ibanez artcore gutair is possible to be traded for one in the future

[@BudgetRC_Channel]

Gibson might call this a coil "tap", but it's not. The pickups are split, but on the circuit board there's a capacitor that the shunted coil drains through which allows the low frequencies to short to ground, but blocks the higher frequencies. The result is a little less bass when split, but that's about it. You can easily bypass this by soldering a piece of wire in parallel with the caps, which I did on my 2012 Studio, which gives you a true coil split, just like you're getting on the Epi.

[@maraviyoso8473]

Then explain why the output remains the same

[@BudgetRC_Channel]

@@maraviyoso8473 because all it's doing is splitting the coil in the bass frequencies and retaining both coils at higher frequencies. Once I bypassed the cap for a true coil split, the volume most certainly drops.

[@maraviyoso8473]

@@BudgetRC_Channel wouldn't that be still a tap on one of the coils? I'm just a guitar player, not a technician; but, it seems what you're describing is actually both a split and a tap.

[@BudgetRC_Channel]

@@maraviyoso8473 no. A tap is when a certain part if the winding is brought out like you see in the output transformer of a tube amp. One winding with "taps" off of it. In a coil split, it's just where the two individual coils in a humbucker join.

[@petedetraglia4776]

I've owned (2) Gibson Les Paul studios in the 90's. One I put an EMG 81 and 89 (splitable pick up used as the neck pick up) in and the second I left stock...Good guitars but a bitch to keep in tune without lockers on the tuning pegs. I bought a new Epiphone Les Paul Custom Pro in KOA 6 months ago and its absolutely amazing for just about half the price. The Epi has 7 layer binding on the body and 5 layer binding on the head stock. The EPI has split coils and phase inverter. The Epi has block in lays from the first fret on down the neck...After a professional set up the Epi consistly stays in tune without locking tuners. The Gibson studios cost $1,300 to $1,500 dollars where I live now and I bought the Epi Les Paul Custom Pro for around 800.00 with a gig bag, pack of new strings, strap, and picks. The Epi Les Paul Custom Pro with the Probuckers 2 and 3, better neck shape, and better sound is clearly the winner for me for just about 1/2 the price out the door...Shoot the new Epi's Prophecy with cut away body and the Fishman pick-ups are better than the Gibson Les Paul Studio and are still cheaper than it...

[@grizz1887]

Since ppl like to knock Epiphone which is a good guitar. Here's how to save money. Buy the Epiphone LP studio,buy the 490 p/ups that aren't coil split. Swap em out and voila, you got a lp studio that sounds as good as the Gibson w/o payiny the high price. If you're in it for investment purposes,buy the Gibson. After all, the sound is from the electronics depending how cheap or expensive they are. It has nothing to do with the wood quality.

The nitro marketing lie! If having a 'breathable finish' on a guitar made it 'potentially more resonant', then guitar players would demand guitars with no finish, not a guitar that 'potentially gets more resonant as it gets older'. I do wish people wouldn't perpetuate this marketing lie because it makes them look dumb. The only thing that nitro does is provide Gibson with a marketing angle for people who still wish it was the '50s. Gibson make their nitro smell of vanilla - in order to get you to buy the guitar (I know as I have one). When you buy it, it already has more scratches on it than a poly finish - because it's a softer material. After that, it scratches, cracks, checks, fades/discolours, absorbs bad smells and comes off completely. If this makes you feel like you're in the 50s/60s/70s, then cool - just don't pretend to yourself that it affects tone or makes your guitar more special. It's just marketing history.
