Gibson Les Paul Studio Dark Ebony
Product information "Gibson Les Paul Studio Dark Ebony"
This Gibson Les Paul Studio truly has a dark soul! With its distinctive look, it definitely stands out—and a quick glance at the technical specifications reveals that this is something special.
The Les Paul Studio has been redesigned to be even more versatile and better than ever before. The Les Paul Studio Figured Top features an ultra-modern, weight-reduced mahogany body that makes it lighter and more comfortable for long playing sessions. The carved AA maple top provides a stunning look and contributes to a brighter, more defined sound. This is complemented by the warmth and midrange presence of the mahogany body, which delivers the legendary Les Paul sound that has been heard on stages and in hit recordings worldwide for decades. The glued-in mahogany neck provides strong resonance and sustain, while the SlimTaper™ neck profile makes playing easier. The neck also features a traditional neck heel and is fitted with a bound rosewood fingerboard with acrylic trapezoid inlays and 22 medium jumbo frets. The 12-inch fretboard radius makes it easy to play chords and lead lines and allows for smooth string bending without worrying about the notes fading away. Vintage Deluxe tuners with keystone buttons underscore the guitar's classic aesthetic. Together with the fully adjustable aluminum Nashville Tune-O-Matic™ bridge, lightweight aluminum stop bar tailpiece, and Graph Tech® nut, these components ensure exceptional tuning stability.

The American Gibson Guitar Corporation, founded in 1902 by Orville Gibson in Kalamazoo, Michigan, first became known for the production of mandolins and banjos. Today the company’s headquarters are in Nashville, Tennessee, and Gibson is one of the world’s most renowned and respected manufacturers of electric guitars.
The model Les Paul, named after its creator Lester William Polsfuss, is one of the most famous and best‑selling electric guitar shapes of all time and established the single‑cut guitar form, which has been copied, adopted and reinterpreted by numerous other manufacturers. The Les Paul is mainly prized for its sound, characterised as warm and full. The humbucker pickup largely responsible for that sound, in its now common design, was developed by Seth Lover at Gibson.
In the early 1960s the Gibson SG appeared as another solid‑body electric from Gibson. Originally intended as the successor to the Les Paul, it became — helped by Angus Young of AC/DC — another rock‑history icon and is the basis for the double‑cutaway guitar type.
With the Flying V and the Explorer Gibson is responsible for two body shapes that, although they were far ahead of their time when introduced in the late 1950s, have over the years also achieved legendary status. They still serve as the foundation for a host of heavy guitars today, for example from makers such as Jackson or ESP.
The Gibson Custom Shop produces custom orders, high‑quality one‑offs and precise replicas of famous models and legendary instrument years. These are often subjected to an artificial ageing process called relicing.
Almost as long as the company has existed, acoustic guitars have also been produced. The J‑45, the Hummingbird, the L‑00 and the SJ‑200 are among the world’s most beloved steel‑string acoustics and were the instruments of choice for Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley and John Lennon.
Besides the instruments already mentioned, you can of course also buy picks, bags and cases or merchandise from Gibson with us.
We are particularly proud to host a Gibson Flagship Store in our Frankfurt branch. There you’ll find not only a large selection and exclusive models to try out in person, but you’ll also benefit from the expertise of our Gibson‑trained and certified staff when choosing the perfect guitar.
