The New Les Paul Studio - deep dive demo

[@davidcarson7936]

Love these reviews, great to see this guitar back in production....has never been a better time to play guitar.....

[@efx245precor3]

I had a night hawk too! Looking for new studio now.

[@jackprice7828]

Nice playing guys! The LP sounds great!

[@997steve]

I think this is good value when comparing to a fender professional tele or strat with a poly finish and a bolt on neck

[@benlogan430]

I’ve got em all. Epi, Ltd and Gibson guitars. My USA Gibson’s are definitely worth the cost and are a good value. Studios all the way! My Epi, and Ltd are really good, but my Gibsons are great guitars.

The tap capacitor thing has been a feature since 2014, my studio pro had that. I took the capacitor out. Made it a full slit then.

[@jeefder]

imo the sunburst one looks "plastic" doesn't look right without the binding,the other three look good though and they seem to weigh between 7.5 and 8lb

[@nenadsimic6220]

what speaker is in your vox ac15 amp?

[@darrenedwards9562]

So body binding costs around £600 (ie a Standard).?

[@guitarist]

@@darrenedwards9562 Les Paul Classic is next model up, at present - the new Studio retails at street price of 1,599 currently, the Classic at £1,999. Classic has body binding, hard case and phase switching as well as a nicer / more figured top. So the uptick is closer to £400 for that and a few other details.

If this guitar floats your boat and you're going to play it extensively, then great! - Buy it. However, this model is very pricey. 🤔I'm old enough (and lucky) enough to own two 1990's wine red Les Paul Studios (one of which has an ebony fingerboard). I have not yet found the need or justification for replacing them. ☺

[@jonvig4771]

Best studios made were the early 90s till about 2000. Long neck tenons and the entire factory really put a lot of pride into them. Really good information on the internet doing a search for the workers that were at the factory during that time period.

[@davidgangemi3314]

I've got a immaculate 96 black Studio Les Paul. It's exquisite. No binding and quite heavy. About 8.7 lbs. Great pickups,trapezoid inlays,and really nice Alnico pickups. They were made during the good wood period which lasted all the way into the early 2000's. It's creamy and screamy too

[@robertcarey3383]

That guitar and amp together they are great......like peanut butter and jelly.

[@uwedasler425]

That Choptank looks and sounds killer. Is there a video of it?

[@guitarist]

@@uwedasler425 lots but only as a demo guitar not a review per se - any interest in a run through of Rich and Jamie’s guitars in future?

[@uwedasler425]

@@guitarist Definitely, yes!

I own a 1995 Wine Red w Gold Hardware Les Paul Studio. I played the new ones just the other day. For me the biggest difference is the weight. Mine is 10 pounds and thicker. The new ones are not that. Not close.

[@HiHello-ku1fl]

Is the neck mahogany?

[@paulwells6131]

Yes it is! I love mine.

[@ddnsconsulting]

Has Richard lent Jamie the Knaggs? 😮

[@briansilcox5720]

Weight?

[@stevewilliams846]

Typically < 8lbs.

[@benoitnezan]

The clown burst is back ! Sounds great though.

[@nekkon1989]

Overpriced

[@MAX96MENDES]

There are better Les Paul alternatives which sounds just the same and have better quality - Costs only 400 or less.

[@guitarman3968]

Everything in the market has competition. Some priced more, some less. Thanks for that, Captain Obvious!

[@martinclayton7260]

Gibson's, and Epiphone's are just overpriced! I'm glad that I bought mine when they were a reasonable price! I bought my SG for £400, and it's great, but the pricing was right then, but now they're taking the piss!

[@stevesteve1965.]

What price people will pay for a name on a headstock. You can get the full monty better built 'Les Paul' for the same money, buy a Tokai.

[@ianbarnes1406]

Or an IBG Epiphone

[@HALWASRIGHT]

Tokai's aren't great.

@HALWASRIGHT ,wow you're full of hate over nothing.

[@KRAZEEIZATION]

Coil taps are something i dislike and the binding on the neck only takes away from the original cool look of the Studio. It cheapens the guitar because it’s like someone put a Gibson neck on an Epi body!
