musicman6283 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Well, I posted a thread on here a few months ago about a Studio that I have that I couldn't sell for $725. I was told that because it had 'Seymour Duncans" and not original pickups, that it wasn't worth jack. Naturally, I thought this advice was moronic. To prove my point, I kept the guitar and added MORE non-Gibson hardware. I added Tone-Pros locking bridge and tailpiece, Faber locking posts, Sperzel locking tuners, Graphtech saddles and miscelanous other hardware. I just got it finished yesterday, and last night was the first time I was able to crank it up. The before and afters are below: Before: Wow that guitar looks insane!!! very nice job And now, lady's and gentlemen; I give you The Bandit: Now THAT's a hot rod. Think she'll fetch $725 now?

musicman6283 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 No more studios? C'mon... post pics of your studios, I'll try to take a pic of mine and post it... but anyway, it's an old (80s) white with gold hardware studio... (beaten to hell). I had to send my blue stain finish one back due to a ding/dent in the neck around the 3rd fret..Causes a couple of high frets/fret buzz..Will post pics when i get my new one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saneff Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Thanks. A very talented guy painted and modded it. It has Dimarzio 36th Anniversaries and a few other mods obviously. It absolutely rocks. I have some other Les Pauls and this is my only Studio. This one just sounds great in any pickup position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueslespaultone Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Here is my 2011 Les Paul Studio 50's Tribute in Worn Honeyburst. I've added nickel pickup covers and changed the top-hats to speed knobs. Gibson Les Paul Studio 50's Tribute Worn Honeyburst by matt.uk, on Flickr I've seen your YouTube videos , amazing guitar player. Mine is similar only because mine is dark back and baked maple fretboard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueslespaultone Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 ... there is many computed tomography units on that planet. and every single one would see it the very same way! yours wolfi PS: I love just because of the sweet sounds it makes. I don´ care about the looks... Nice, howd you get your boss to allow you do quick pilot scan of your gibson. We use a 40 slice brilliance, by Phillips , should scan mine, then do some 3d reformations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btoth76 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 1991 Studio, ebony board. It had Gotoh tuners on it when I got it, and I've put superpots and RS Guitarcaps wired it push pull for series/parallel with SD Alnico II Pros on it. Hello! Just like my first Gibson ever! I bought Her in 1992 brand new. Selling Her was one of the biggest mistakes I've made in my life! Congratulations! Wonderful instrument, heavy as concrete tough. Cheers...

Gibson Les Paul Studio Deluxe Looks like a damn good deal to me... It seems that Gibson is having a sake on at the moment to clear the pre 2012 stock.. So is a really good time to buy right now (unless one of the new models take your fancy).. But studios are great guitars.. and that one has a lovely top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasyKill Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Thanks for the quick reply. Any clue how it sounds? None of my local shops have this specific model and youtube videos aren't that easy to judge by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabs Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Thanks for the quick reply. Any clue how it sounds? None of my local shops have this specific model and youtube videos aren't that easy to judge by. Actually havent got a clue :) It says these are the pickups Electronics Neck pickup: 490R Bridge pickup: Burstbucker Pro Which is quite an unusual combination that ive not actually seen before.. BUT they are both great pickups so id imagine it sounds pretty darn good... The thing with guitars especially Gibsons as they are hand finished, is that each one sounds ever so slightly different depending on how its set up and how resonant the particular piece of wood is that went into making it.. So the only way is to try it relly... In saying that, most Les Pauls I have played have been very resonant.. Its the playability of the guitar that is important and is what makes me choose one over another, even if they are they same model and colour. It all comes down to your personal taste really. If your purchasing online, then you take that risk really... Better to try and find one you can play in my view, but there are many members on here who do order online and have no problems.. So thats down to you :) Good luck.. and of course we want to see pics of whatever you end up with.. Happy hunting (thats half the fun anyway ;)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasyKill Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Solid advice. I played a LP Studio at my guitar shop, and while the strings they had on there were kind of old and cruddy, I did enjoy the sound. The only problem I had with it was that the neck was a little fat, but this model has a 60s profile neck instead of a 50s, so I think I'll be OK there. Plus, this model has a coil-split as well. The way I see it, this is almost guaranteed to be better than what I'm currently playing. I think I'll take the plunge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
