Description

The Left-Handed Gibson Les Paul Studio brings classic Les Paul tone, feel, and style to left-handed players—with modern enhancements that elevate playability and versatility. Designed for those who want authentic Gibson performance without excess flash, this model stays true to the Les Paul legacy while offering the flexibility today’s musicians demand.

Crafted with a solid mahogany body and a carved maple top, it delivers a rich, full-bodied tone with excellent sustain and dynamic response. Ultra-modern weight relief reduces shoulder strain without compromising resonance, making it ideal for long sessions on stage or in the studio.

The slim taper mahogany neck is built for speed and comfort, pairing perfectly with a smooth rosewood fingerboard that offers a familiar, natural feel for effortless fretting and bends. Whether you’re laying down leads or holding down rhythm, this neck profile encourages fluid movement and precise control.

At the heart of its sound are the 490R (neck) and 498T (bridge) humbuckers—an aggressive, high-output pickup pairing that delivers classic Gibson warmth, punchy mids, and searing leads. With two push/pull pots for coil-tapping, this Les Paul Studio also gives you access to a range of crisp, single-coil-inspired tones, making it a true workhorse for players who need to cover multiple styles and genres.

Finished with premium hardware for tuning stability and long-lasting performance, this left-handed Les Paul Studio is not just a reissue—it’s a reinvention of a classic, tailored for today’s left-handed guitarist.
