BStard Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Here it is: Basicaly, it's a Les Paul Studio: yellow Gibson logo on the head, no neck binding, ebony fingerboard, trapezoid inlays: But: binding on the body, natural finish (vintage sunburst?) and NO pickguard (no holes!) My best guess: a refinished Studio Lite What do you think??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynadude Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I didn't think any LP Studio has body binding or trap inlays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackHawk233 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 My VM has trap Inlays. None have Binding as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantha Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Studios do indeed have trap inlays.. but no binding. I'm not sure what that is, but I like the finish on it... natural and cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowb5str Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 ...and I think the finish would be called Natural Honey ... (?) definitely NOT a 'burst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mildperv Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Looks foreign to me. The logo is wrong, the cut-out is wrong the bridge is wrong.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

epinder Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Just as an FYI: Gibson did make studios w/body binding. From '84 to '87 they made the Studio Standard that was the same as a Studio except for the body and neck binding. They also had the Studio Custom in '84 '85 that was similar but had gold plated hardware. Edit: Looking in a book, it looks as though they had a studio lite in '91 that could match yours. It states that they had a 3 piece figured maple top, crown markers, "Les Paul Model" on the headstock, 2 coverless p/u's, etc. Maybe, I don't know. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mildperv Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Don't the early eighties studios with binding have dot markers? Your picture has a binding, the one in the link doesn't and your example's top has that funky veneer look to it. ^_^ You could end the speculation by providing more definitive pictures of the important features. But you know that already... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
