Gibson Les Paul Studio 60's 6-String Electric Guitar with 60's Profile Neck, Ebony Fingerboard, Split Coil Studio Electronics, Gloss Alpine White.
The Gibson Les Paul Studio ’60s has been designed according to the specification of players who’ve demanded a deluxe version of the Les Paul Studio with a thin, tapered ’60s neck profile.
The mahogany body of the Les Paul Studio ’60s cranks out tone that is somewhat soft, but extremely well-balanced, with good grind and bite. It has the potential for good depth, with full (though not super-tight) lows, velvety highs and a slightly compressed response. Its maple cap adds snap, sizzle and sustain. And like a number of Gibsons, the Les Paul’s interior has weight relief cavities, which gives you a guitar that is louder acoustically and features increased sustain and resonance.
The bridge and neck pickups can each be split via their own push/pull switch on the volume knob to achieve a single-coil tone. This coil-tapping function allows you to instantly achieve brighter, snappier tones from this humbucker-loaded guitar, to replicate the sounds of other classic guitars equipped with single-coil pickups, and to return to the Les Paul Studio ’60s' thick, warm, powerful, full-humbucking tone at the push of a knob.
The neck of the Les Paul Studio ’60s is constructed from a solid piece of Grade-A mahogany, the hands-down best choice for guitarists who demand a strong but lightweight neck.
In 1954, Gibson rocked the world when it debuted the tune-o-matic bridge, setting a standard for simplicity and functionality that has never been bettered. Included on the Les Paul Studio ’60s, the tune-o-matic provides a firm seating for the strings, allowing the player to adjust and fine-tune the intonation and string height in a matter of minutes. It also yields a great union between the strings and body, which results in excellent tone and sustain.
