darling67 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Upon playing a co-worker's LP Studio, I decided it was high time I got myself a Les Paul! Long overdue… So I tracked-down a 2013 Studio Deluxe II in our Bakersfield, CA store and had it shipped down! I opted for honeyburst. Vintage sunburst always looks cool, but I like the lightness of the honeyburst. It came with a black PG, but I promptly replaced it with a creme PG—looks way better. My phone's camera is a sad thing… so these pics don't do this beauty justice! Played it through a VOX AC-15 a few nights ago, and she sounds awesome.

pippy Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Many Congrats and a HNGD, d67! Studios are shamefully underrated guitars IMO. ...It came with a black PG, but I promptly replaced it with a creme PG—looks way better... Are you considering swapping out the other plastics as well? It doesn't matter, of course, but I think it would get really close to the 'classic' looks of a Standard if you went down that route. Either way it's a fine looking guitar. Have Fun! P.

jaygl Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Studios are great and underated as pippy pointed out. I've never met one I didn't like. Can't say the same for the other models of LP's.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. I think the PG is the only swap I am going to make—at this time, at least. I've had it suggested to me that I swap-out the pickup frames, and put gold knobs on it. But I kind'a like where it's at now. . Love the honey burst on that one. Very nice. Congrats and enjoy. . B) . Thanks, BigKahune! Studios are great and underated as pippy pointed out. I've never met one I didn't like. Can't say the same for the other models of LP's.... They are, indeed… and it's a 2013—so I've avoided all the added gunk of the '14 and '15 models.

Congrats and welcome to the Studio Club. Yes, it does Chuck. I've yet to really figure out the benefit of it. As of now, I keep the knobs in the "down" position.

darling67 Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 Oh my that is special; great choice with the Honeyburst HNGD! Thanks, Pesh! I was prepared to go with the vintage sunburst—as I figured that was the only finish I'd find, being this model is a 2013 discontinued. But when the guy at GC told me he had all three finishes in his store, I jumped at the honeyburst! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
