Jantha Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Play the heck out of it' date=' it's fine the way it is...[/quote'] Agreed.. Just play it! They are great guitars all on their own. Or, if you want, send it to me for a few years and I'll imbue it with mojo for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CincinnatiSi Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I would put new volume knobs on it that went to 11 so that it would play louder. Other than that, nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Cha Ching.......... It's already the best Bang for the Buck you can get. If you need binding, 57 Classics, flame, ect,..... Duh...... It's a Studio...... Beat It........ Murph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iownanlps Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Binding, maple cap, flamed, burst, bound neck, bling... To be honest there is not much you can do it was never designed to be anything else than played in the Studio as it has no stage presence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest there is not much you can do it was never designed to be anything else than played in the Studio as it has no stage presence.[/quote'] What I find kind of funny is that many people who have beautiful Standards and Customs don't gig them or take them out of the house. I sometimes think there might have been a better name than Studio for these guitars since they get played out just as much, if not more than Standards. Plus, they're only ugly if compared to a nice AA, AAA top guitar. How many Strats do you see painted solid colors and no one seems to complain about them. Why does a solid black LP with no binding have less stage presence than say a Black Strat? Not really directed at you iownalp, because I know that's a general sentiment among most LP owners and fans.

FennRx Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 how to make a Studio better? easy....sell it and buy a Traditional or Historic Reissue. I keed I keed. sort of.:) my studio was first "real" guitar and 14 years later i still have it. it doesnt get as much attenion anymore, but for the first 12 years, i played the hell out of it, leaving it completely stock.

sjtalon Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Some of the eye candy ( non-functional ) things they leave out are what keep the price of the Studio down. If you start adding to it, those things get added to the price. Man they just ( Fender too) had price increses ! What the heck do you think it needs ??

pru56 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 The les paul studio is a les paul with out all the cosmetic's. it has the same pickup as the standard and custom's do. the 490's series pickups. some of the new one have the bustbuckers in them now. The studio was made to play and play out too. That why it not got all the cosmetic's, its the tone that count's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynadude Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I think they are about as good as they can get now. Good price range. Great materials and workmanship. Great hardware and electronics. They look good. They retain their value pretty well. They are not so rare or expensive that you would be afraid to alter them a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowb5str Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Find some way to make an uncolored, natural top edition. Make a baritone factory option. Make a fine-tuning bridge an option? Make sure that they ALWAYS come with TWO volume and TWO tone controls!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackHawk233 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Locking Tuner. As said, Binding Option, and basically the ability to customize them, if not already possible. And lowb5str, That guitar in your avatar is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackHawk233 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I have a red wine studio and have owned better guitars from Gibson to include Custom's. I love my Studio and took off the pick guard and feel it looks better without' date=' but I guess thats up to the individual. Nothing wrong with the studio's they are great guitar and are designed for one thing; to be played and not just looked at (IMO).[/quote'] Still a beautiful thing to look at. Just not as much as say a Standard, Much less a Custom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duende Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I would say make studio versions of the new Standard (ie with locking tuners etc), The current Les Paul Custom etc. ie have a chance to buy a Les Paul Custom with no binding etc and pay less for the same tone. Also a Les Paul Studio Deluxe with mini humbuckers like the Les Paul Deluxe would be good. In short, across the entire Les Paul range, for those of us who aren't bothered by visuals, give us a chance to own a range of Les Paul tones for less. Have studio universally meaning non bound as a prefix to any of the other Les Paul models. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
