Gibson Les Paul Studio WR (Wine Red) 1999
The Gibson "Les Paul Studio" 1999 model, popular among a wide range of players as a reasonably-priced model, has arrived in stock! Wine Red color with a weight of 4.0kg.
This Studio model keeps prices down by adopting a simple construction that eliminates decorative elements such as binding. It features the traditional Les Paul wood construction: Maple top, Mahogany back, Mahogany neck, and Rosewood fingerboard.
This period is characterized by a slightly smaller 3/4 scale trapezoid fingerboard inlay. The pickups are a combination of covered humbuckers (490R / 498T) with the "Gibson USA" logo engraved on the back, a notable point that produces the traditional Les Paul sound.
The neck grip has an exquisite shape—neither too thin nor too thick—and the playability is very comfortable. Despite being a cost-performance model with minimal decoration, the pickups and hardware use standard components, and we found the tone and feel of this Studio to be superior to recent regular lineup Les Paul Standards.
For being over 25 years old, it maintains a beautiful appearance, with a charm different from a faded finish. In terms of value for money, this is arguably one of the best guitars in Gibson's lineup. There are some scratches and dents on the back of the neck, but it's still very playable. Recommended for rock players who don't sweat the small stuff.
