dred31 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 personally i hate em, but obviously gibson saw the market for a guitar like that i feel they should have just lowerd the price of the lp std and be done with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 They're fine. I don't own one, but I've got friends that do. The available pups are sometimes disappointing, which is too bad because most people are buying Studios to get an LP they can afford and don't have the loot to throw down on better pups.

crossroadsnyc Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Like all LP's, it depends on the finish / color. As for the Studio, there are a couple that I really like (especially white w/chrome). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I haven't owned a Les Paul since the mid '90's, but I bought an '08 Studio for my daughters birthday and snuck it out and gigged it. I was very impressed. Those pickups are great. I didn't care for the .09's I put on it for her, but it had everything going on. I'd buy myself one in a heartbeat, it I wanted one. I prefer doublecuts. The Fireburst actually works with the Gold Hardware, it's a damned fine guitar. Murph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pru56 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I own a 1982 Les Paul XR III, which is just like the studio. They have the same pickups as the standared, the only diff is the cosmectics. get real people, check out the spec's. I love mine and can not any diff in the guitars, and have played them both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitarooster52 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I don't own one but I wouldn't hang my head low if I did. They seem like a great idea in this economy. I really like the Vintage Mahogany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retrosurfer1959 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 There fine guitars. Like any other luxury item's the entry level one is just that, a good place to start. I originally owned Studios and as time and $$$ allowed I moved on. I still own a Black studio BFG and it's a good guitar but not even in the same league as a good standard or reissue.

SRV-Zeppelin Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 My friend wanted to buy one really badly... and then he learned that they've stopped shipping the Alpine White finish to Canada. (ignorant b*stards...) So now he's getting an SG 61 RI. But LP studios are great in my opinion. Almost as good as a Standard for about a thousand bucks less.

marius Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 i own a 1992 alpine white lp studio, all original. finish has turned kinda yellow . great guitar,love the plaiabilty and sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_HEWC Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I have a '00 wine red studio, that has some details I'm not so fond of. The trapeze inlays on the neck has got to be the smallest ever.. which makes it look really strange when I compare it to my R6. But the main reason why the R6 is my main axe is the neck pups and playability.. ps. don't get me wrong, I really like the studio.. But found a guitar better suited for me..

fartz Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Without the body trim, the Studio is not very appealing to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevezapp Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Without the body trim' date=' the Studio is not very appealing to me. [/quote'] Totally agree. That's the reason I've never got on with my Robot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundergod Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I think the only one that doesnt like them at all is Homz... and I can see why he doesn't like them (he has a 1st run robot which was a lot more expensive than your average normal production studio... maybe if he paid half of what he paid for his standard he would like her better).

nato101010 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 To a answer for the origanal question, yes, and no. I highly dislike "Faded" and those god aweful "worn brown" and worn red" stained guitars. I like the white LP Studios, as they have ebony fingerboards. Something about that makes them stand out (playability-wise) then any other Studio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcooper830 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I really don't care for the look of LP Studios that much. The lack of binding makes it look a little boring and stripped down. However...... I have an old 1991 Wine Red LP Studio with chrome hardware and ebony fretboard. It plays and sounds so incredibly sweet!! It has big phat warm tone with just the right amount of bite. And it has a really comfortable smooth feel. I got it for $650 with hardshell case. I couldn't pass that up!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr newhaven Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 first off i will try and keep this short because i tend to ramble from time to time... the beautiful thing about America is...if you dont like it...you dont have to buy it! Les Paul Studios are every bit as legitimate as standards and other gibsons... they work dont they? they just dont have the trim and appointments of the higher level guitars... They are called "Studio" guitars for a reason... obviously the standards look gorgeous and so do the R9's and R8's...the robots too even! I have a VM and love it so much...does that mean i prefer it to a standard? its hard to say because i dont own a standard...but sound wise its definitely a gibson! and for those that dont like the worn brown or worn cherry stains...unfortunately for you gibson's new studios only come in those colors i think i remember reading...so get those wine red's now before they become collector's items! Bottom line...studio Les Paul's are just as badass as the others...just cheaper! and im all for it! now does that mean i wouldnt take a standard of R9 if the price is right?? of course not i would jump on that in a second...but you wont find me trying to sell my studio...ever!
