Gibson Les Paul Studio EB
Product information "Gibson Les Paul Studio EB"
The Les Paul Studio has been reimagined and is better and more versatile than ever. It features an ultramodern, weight-relieved mahogany body that makes it lighter and more comfortable to play, no matter how long the gig or jam session lasts. The maple top adds brightness and definition across the whole tone and pairs perfectly with the warmth and midrange punch of the mahogany body for the legendary Les Paul sound heard on countless hit recordings and stages around the world. The set-in mahogany neck provides a solid joint between neck and body, increasing resonance and sustain. The neck has a traditional neck heel and a fast-playing SlimTaper™ profile and is fitted with a bound rosewood fretboard with acrylic trapezoid inlays and 22 medium-jumbo frets.
Each volume control is fitted with a push/pull switch for coil-tapping, so you can get two different sounds from each pickup. The endless tonal possibilities, exceptional sustain, resonance and comfortable playability make the Les Paul Studio a guitar you can rely on in any musical genre and situation.

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.
