I don't know why people think binding makes a guitar sound different
I’ve never heard of anyone saying that it sounds different with binding… it certainly FEELS different. But that would be a first for someone to say it sounds different. Cheers -Ryan
Yeah it's about looks,and feel.
No, It’s beautiful and feel different in your hand. Who the heck said that?
If it was about sound, wouldnt the studio have it?
It's a les paul, just no binding
What makes me thinking about paying 1000 euros more on a Les Paul classic... I love the binding
That riff is gonna be stuck in my head for days now 😫
😂😂😂
Haha
My first Gibson was a 2005 Studio I still have. Since then I have bought and sold Gibson Custom Shop 58 and 56 Reissues, Traditional, Studio faded etc......each guitar is different but a “good” studio with the pickups you like most will play and sound just as good as any other Les Paul you can buy. The best sounding guitar I have owned was an Epiphone Joe Bonamassa Les Paul with Burstbucker 2 and 3. The neck was beyond huge and I just didn’t enjoy playing it after a while. But holy crap all that Mahogany made a difference.
I got two sets of pro buckers and put one in a Harley, Benton SG and the other in the Harley Benton 400 Les Paul both kick ass oh and I’m a lefty
I picked up a 2020 Studio, also slim tapper neck, and very quickly became one of my favorite guitars. Might upgrade the pickups in the future, I don't like the neck pickup that much, but other than that, very comfy to play and brings a smile to my face every time.
I've had 5 Les Pauls, 3 Standards, a Custom, and a Studio. I hated the Custom. I love my Studio and I love my Standard HP.
Like Bradford Murray below I picked up a 1990 wine red LP studio about 15 years ago and it's one of my fave guitars to play... slim C neck ebony fretboard and all mahogany construction. Singing high tones and a bottom end that shakes the floor boards. One of the best buys I ever made.
I've got an old wine red coloured 1990 Les Paul Studio with an ebony fingerboard I got a few years back. I like it because it sounds as good as some Customs (maybe because of the ebony finger board) and is solid. Has trapezoid inlays. I like the Gibsons from the 1990s.
Studios and customs have the same pickups. 490R and 498T. I also love 90s LPs. I have a 1993 studio lite (exactly like the one Jerry Cantrell plays in the "Would?" Video) as well as a 1994 studio lite in trans blue. Love them both! They both have 490R and 500T pickups.
To be fair, though... The Customs all have different pickup sets, as do Studios from time to time. Lots of Studios have come with 498T, 490T, Classic 57s.... whereas most Customs come with Custom Buckers, Classic 57s, 498T, Burstbuckers... Pickup choices have variance year to year for the most part. Cheers -Ryan
@@Crypticmaskguitar sure there are variations of all Les Paul models throughout the years. As I mentioned my studio lites have 500T pickups in the bridge. Since he said his studio sounds as good as some Customs, Its likely due to the fact that they are using the same pickups.
Yesterday I bought a 2013 white Les Paul studio. I’m left handed. The white ones , especially Left handed are hard to find. The guitar is supposed to be in pristine condition. It’s on its way. I hope I don’t feel it’s overlaquered the way you did. Paid $1,300. Again it’s a 2013 not a 2007 so hopefully I’m good. Great video !
I hope so, too hahaha! It’s a weird feeling. But it can be on a guitar by guitar basis. My ES-335 from 2000 gets that feeling after an hour of playing. Same with my 2021 Explorer… but that’s after a solid hour or more of playing. You can honestly wipe it clean with you sleeve and carry on with life, but it can be annoying! Enjoy the new guitar! Cheers -Ryan
Your videos are on point! Very informative as usual! Let me ask you what are your thoughts in comparing a Gibson Les Paul Studio vs a Gibson SG Standard? I believe they both have the same pickups. Which do you think are the more geared toward, classic hard rock, i.e., AC/DC, Sabbath, Boston, that kind of music? Thank you.
The SG Standard has 490R/T Pickups, whereas the Studio has 498T/490R. I do have a 2011 Gibson SG Standard Limited that has the same pickups… But the current offerings have different pickups in them. It is a video that I have on my list to make, however, that list is about 300 videos long hahaha. In all honesty you can never go wrong with an SG for that style, but the same can be said about a Les Paul. It’s really up to body thickness, neck preferences, and weight. Cheers -Ryan
I play AC/DC on my studio and it sounds great!
Nice comparison song and playing! I enjoy listening to your playing, Thanks!
listening on my laptop but they pretty much all sound identical - I would say the studio you played at the beginning sounded the best, had the most bite.. the 60's one you played looked visually like you had to work harder to bend the notes... someone at the office here has a Traditional 60s for sale and I was looking for the difference between that and the studio - one site I read the traditional has dipswitches inside for more tonal control, but that might be a different year? The Studio is marketed as having a wider tonal palette for studio recording, any thoughts?
Traditional don’t generally have dipswitches. Some of the Standards have them (the weight relieved ones). Traditional were replaced with the new standard 50s. The first studio is an easy player… but not as easy as the standard. The Studio is called a studio because it is stripped down, so you would keep it in the Studio rather than using flashier guitars in a live setting. All of them are comfortable and great players! Cheers -Ryan
Love my '92 Studio Lite with ebony fretboard and 500t pickup. Broken/repaired neck, but I love it still.
I LOVE my Studio.... Amazing!
And it's a 2007! Sorry you got a bad one. Seems like there was a lot of inconsistency from Gibby around that time. Anyway, if you get a good one, it can be a beast. I even love my 2015, which almost everybody hates! (I did change the tuners, because it had a robot tuner on it). I would just suggest anyone buying any Les Paul to play it first, there are good ones and bad ones, like any model guitar. Good post.
Just got my studio, absolutely in love
Agree! The studio is a great value for such an amazing guitar. My 07 was fine as well, It’s a shame he got a dud
I agree! I have an 08 alpine white studio with ebony fretboard and 59 neck. I love it!
I was gifted a 2013 gibson lpj in chocolate colour,. Its the most handsome best sounding guitar ive ever seen and played,.
Hey that Les Paul Studio, sound wicked! Which would you say is your favorite for that Vintage Classic Rock, AC/DC, Sabbath, Zeppelin or ZZ Top sound. Let me also ask you, do you prefer the SG, or the Les Paul, or the Flying V. Thank you. Really cool video like always!
They all work quite well! I have 10 Les Pauls, 4 SGs, and 2 Flying Vs... I think I would have to say that I prefer the Les Paul over the rest. haha Cheers -Ryan
I have a 2010 Gibson Les Paul faded cherry and five others of different makes, and l always play my Les Paul. I dearly love this guitar, it just fits, and sounds better than all the rest. No offense, just my honest opinion, and it is lighter than the pretty shiny ones. That is a blessing when you play for hours!
You like what you like, man! It’s awesome when you bond with a guitar really well! Cheers -Ryan
Im looking for my first Gibson Les Paul. Currently have a custom shop Epiphone Les Paul. I do not know where to start filtering my options. I was thinking of a budget of 1000-1500 and second hand is also an option. Will I find a decent Les Paul for this budget? The "issue" is that my Epiphone just sounds so good! Or is it smarter to save up a bit more? I play 80's metal/hard rock, modern metal but also clean stuff. Bands like Metallica, Iron Maiden, RHCP and Led Zeppelin are just a few for ideas. Any suggestions?
$1000-1500 is a great start! The big thing is that you NEED to play it before you buy it. If you can look in Music Stores before looking to buy from someone directly, that's probably the way to go. Basically any Les paul will work well with the music type that you are looking to play. The big thing is that you need to be comfortable with whatever you buy. You'll need to find out if you want a Satin or Glossed finish, Neck Profile (Fat or Thin), and of course one of the most important... Weight. Finding a Non-Weight Relieved Les paul that is within your budget on the used market would be AWESOME! I find that they feel better when you are digging in on down picking and feel a little more comfortable and satisfying when you are palm muting. BUT they can be heavy and if you are not used to it... might feel uncomfortable. But the best advice I could give again is: Play them all and figure out what you bond with best... then if it is over your budget look on the used market to see if you can make it work there. Best of luck! Cheers -Ryan
@@Crypticmaskguitar thank you so much for the information! I never seriously looked into a Gibson before and this is really useful! I have a huge music store a hour drive away with a lot of LP's to try so I will be doing that, see if they have any nice second hand guitars and otherwise keep searching. My current Epiphone also is a bit heavier then most LP's so finding a non weight relieved is the dream! Other then that I don't really have much demands, like you said it is about what I bond with! Quality wise I should be good to go with any LP? Thanks again!
Hey. I have a 2013 Les Paul studio as well. Curious to know what else you love about it compared to customs and classics etc. I'm someone who hasn't played any other Les pauls.
Just a different feel. Going down the line it would be my 7th favourite Les Paul that I own. But still reach for it every day. Cheers -Ryan
@@Crypticmaskguitar Appreciate the reply. What about Les Paul necks. Where do you rate this neck in terms of top Les Paul necks ?
Medium C is my favourite (I have it on my Les Paul Custom and Les Paul Deluxe), Slim Taper with binding would be next (My 2 Classics have those), then the 60s Slim Profile, then 50s Baseball Bat, then the Slim Taper unbound (This Studio and my other Studio), and finally Rounded profile (this Tribute and my Tribute DC Special). All are damn comfortable but some feel more like home than others! Cheers -Ryan
I have a 13 traditional and an 07 studio. They sound so different to me. The studio doesn’t have as much treble response (probably being all mahogany & chambered) but I get a great tone out of it, especially after upgrading to 500k pots. The traditional fits like a glove in my hand with the big chunky neck and is a beauty to look at. When people say tele on steroids, I know what they mean after owning this beast. I love them both and I don’t think I could part with either one 👌
Glad you found the ones that worked for you. I couldn’t really tell a difference when you played them all back to back 😝
I have a 2010 Studio and I love it ! I can't walk by this guitar without picking it up and playing a little while, I have 4 other named guitars, which I haven't played hardly any since I got the Gibson Studio. Mine don't have that glossy pretty finish, it is a workhorse not a show horse, and does it sound and play great ! Yes indeed !
you know what I find funny? I've been researching Les Paul guitars to buy one in the next few weeks. What I find funny is most of these guitar reviews have more to do with the paint than the sound. I'm starting to question if I'm paying $1000-$1500 more for a paint job. I just found a Gibson Les Paul Studio that has peaked my interest for $1500 (about 1/2 the price of the Custom I was thinking about). Is the difference really majorly about the paint?? The tone of the Custom and Studio are slightly different, but when you playing punk and metal the effects eat up that little bit of difference. The guitarist for AFI says he prefers the Studio because it's easier to throw around on stage. I will say I've come to the conclusion I prefer the 490/498 pickup to the burst buckers. What's your thoughts?
Are you sure you are reading about “Paint Jobs” and not “Finish”? There’s a big difference. They “Paint” the guitar and then they apply a finish to the guitar. Gibson uses “Nitrocellulose” on their guitars rather than Polyurethane. If there is too much finish applied to the guitar then the finish, especially on the neck, will react with your sweat and it will leave a sort of film on the guitar while you are playing. So for instance… if you play for around 30 minutes it will feel like there is a healthy amount of dead skin on the neck of your guitar. I had quite a few Gibsons from 2007 that exhibited this behaviour and I got rid of them… I have 20 Gibsons now that don’t… as far as Les Paul Studio vs Les Paul Custom… there are customs that are weight relieved, but, My Les Paul Custom is the best best guitar I’ve ever played… hands down! BUT if I were to “Throw Around” a guitar on stage I would definitely want a $1,500 guitar rather than $3,000-$5000 guitar. It’s not just the paint job that is the difference… it’s the weight, ebony fret board, neck carve, binding on the neck, binding on the body (front and back), and the fact that most are “Kissed By God” hahaha Cheers and Happy Hunting -Ryan
@@Crypticmaskguitar Thanks for you answer! I'm a player, but I will admit I need become more of guitar nerd. In punk, you usually just play what you can get your hands on. This will be my first Les Paul. I've always believed you get what you pay for, but I also want to be smart about it. These are the specs on the Studio I was looking at. The Custom is at the guitar store, so I'm able to play it. The Studio has to be special ordered. Do you see any red flags?

The “New” Gibsons are much more reliably made than some of the previous generations, thankfully. There’s no way to tell, though, if it would be oversprayed on the neck. Without playing it. I have blindly bought quite a few Gibsons this year and haven’t been anywhere near disappointed. The padded bag/case that comes with it is pretty sturdy as well… best of luck! Cheers -Ryan
I bought a 2021 Tribute this year ($1300), and to me, it is every bit as good at a standard. it is becoming my favorite guitar out of 15 that I own. I prefer less frills. the sound and feel is where it is at. I also love the 50s satin finish neck.
Now you have "piqued" my interest... SG "bark" more than Les Paul {I have a 61 Les Paul/SG Standard. Freaking loud! Regardless of amp it would be the loudest guitar you put through it) Best, Pete.
I have a Les Paul studio Deluxe 2011 model I think it sounds pretty good, after I adjusted the action where I like it plays pretty good to for the money.
Proud owner of a GLP Studio & I wanna collect more.
I love my 1991 Les Paul Studio. Do you have tabs for the riff?
All the 2015 models had the wide neck, not just the Studio. In 2016, I bought a SH 2012 Studio then decided I didn't like it much, put it back in its case and left there. Then about 3 months ago I thought I might sell it. So I got it out and began to fall in love with. Now I can't bring myself to sell it!
Absolutely! There’s a reason why I stay away from the Les Paul 100 series! Not that it’s uncomfortable… but I have 13 Les Pauls and that’s the only one with the wider neck. It just feels out of place. Still a great guitar, though! Cheers -Ryan
Isn’t Studio is for recording in the studio and Standard or classic is for show? Still get the same sound etc. I don’t know but I do have a studio and saving for a standard just because lol
In a way yes. It’s basically a way of saying “Les Fancy”. Similar tones. Some are magic, some aren’t. Just like all guitars. Cheers -Ryan
I do notice a slight difference on the output , problay just the pickups
Really like your Chanel great video
I have this 2013 studio too, find it hard to put down. Have played standards with muuuch less mojo. Just lose the auto tuners...
I have a 2021 studio and it's my favorite of 6 other Gibson's. Even my 2022 modern.
2020 I almost bought a Les Paul Traditional at the Halifax L&M. Technically I *did* buy it, but I backed out. It was everything I wanted in a Les Paul, but would have cleaned me out. I sat there playing it and didn't feel a spark with it. I didn't feel I played differently. It didn't feel special. So I backed out. Yet, I'm often happy with Tributes and Studios.
My old stomping grounds! Back when Long and McQuade first bought out Musicstop you used to be able to mention my name and get a slight discount hahaha! That’s how much I bought there! Big difference in weight and neck size between Traditionals and Studios/Tributes though. I’d recommend checking out the Classic Series! 9 hole weight relief (slightly lighter than a traditional and has a Slim Taler neck, just like the Studio! But you bond with what you bond with! My big problem is that I usually end up buying 2 guitars if I bond with more than one haha! Cheers -Ryan
Gary moore loves them like this🙂👌
That's the 2013 studio?
Yessir. Made in late 2012, stamped with “2013 Model” on the back of the headstock. Cheers -Ryan
Gibson les Paul Studio or Gibson SG Standard ?…..tnx
All about your preferences, to be honest. Personally I'd go SG Standard over a Les Paul Studio... but I'd also have to play them both. I own 2 Gibson Les Paul Studios and 2 Gibson SG Standards (3 if you count the SG Standard '61). I use my SGs more than my Studios. Cheers -Ryan
6:01. That is a Gibson LP Studio HP. The HP ( High Performance ), has a titanium nut and bridge. The neck should be 1.74" wide. Not sure what Pickups you have, I think the HP ran from 2016 - 2019. I had an 2016 SG HP and it even had a 1/2 inch maple top on the mahogany body. Its at Guitar Center. It is a pink SG HP, with 460/480 pups.
legacy.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/2015/USA/Les-Paul-Studio.aspx
Thanks for the brief history lesson... but it's a Studio. in 2015 all of the Les Pauls had Robot Tuners and the Zero Fret Nut. Take a look at the link from Gibson. Cheers -Ryan
Meh I’ve got a 2005 Les Paul voodoo and it sucks. I’ve hated that guitar since day one. What I am super impressed with is the sound of that super sonic. Any rig run throughs on that?
Man! It is hands down one of the best amps that I own! I have 25 and this amp has probably spent the most time on my studio desk! I just got a Friedman Runt 50 and I think it comes close… if it only had reverb built in haha! Cheers -Ryan
@@Crypticmaskguitar well that’s endorsement enough for me. I’ve been trying to add a fender to my Arsenal for a while. Thanks for the response!
Got a few different LPs, a -73 Recording, modded with slanted Seymour duncans, 3 studios from 91, 95 and 00, a -96 Classic and a -09 Junior. I could live with either one of them. All different from each other... the -95 studio is the favorite though, cant explain why.
Traded my 2017 Tele for a 2010 Studio Deluxe. No issues, no regrets all tone.
Absolutely love my 95 wine red Studio!
Oh, I don’t have problems with lacquer but flat painted necks. Get sticky.
I'm getting a 2016 LP Studio T Vintage Sunburst... for around 875 usd... hope it pays off. My problem is not the price actually, is having a good justification to add another guitar to the collection 😁 Tks for the video.
That’s understandable! I was up to 56 guitars… I realized that I change strings twice a year. It cost me $800-900 a year just to change strings! I’m trying to work my way down to 25-30 guitars which is much more manageable! It’s hard to set limits with guitars but it’s a good thing to recognize that things can get out of hand haha! Congrats on the impending new guitar! Cheers -Ryan
@@Crypticmaskguitar gosh, me here concerned having my 7th... 😱
We all have our levels of craziness haha! My problem is 9 months out of the year I work ridiculously long hours at work and the only thing that helps me get through is obsessing about guitars and what one I’m going to buy next. That starts to add up! Cheers -Ryan
I have 3 studios and love them. Two have been hand wired with higher grade pickups. The worst Gibson I have bought, and it was directly from Gibson was a 2021 modern.
I’m looking at the exact guitar but a 2017
I had a Gibson Les Paul Studio from 2020 and loved it. I regret I sold it but it played nice and had a good thick tone for recording. I’m hoping to pick one up used now. Great demo!
What is that right your playing, love it
Thank you
RIFF
We just make stuff up on the spot for videos. You can give it a name if you’d like haha Cheers -Ryan
I'd pay you to write even just the first 30 seconds of it out.. I'd love to practice it
Can't get it out my head...try to figure it out.... seriously$
Thanks for replying
You should have included a Special and a Junior in the playing montage.
I used the Les Paul’s that I owned at the time… I DID just buy a junior last week, though. Les Paul Special in TV Yellow will be next summer! Cheers -Ryan
love the studios- justy dont looka s fanvy buy pasy and sound as good as $4k Gibsons- the necks on the ones with the brass nuit artent my fave
It's like any product, there are good and bad.
I have a $150 Yamaha OM guitar with a "cut-away"
I had a Gibson Les Paul Studio from 2012 and it was one of the worst guitars I’ve ever played (bought online unseen) - I now have a 2022 Gibson Les Paul Studio and it’s one of the best, an absolute peach. All guitars are different I suppose.
Tab just part of it out for me 🙏 I will send you a $100 bill
No joke I figured out parts but
I will pay for it... SERIOUSLY
Thank you Mark
Please can someone help me. I’ve got a 2014 anniversary studio. Are studio’s good les Paul’s. People always seem to go for standards but I haven’t got that sought of money. Is my studio worth upgrading or should I just sell it on????
Biggest question here, and the only one that matters: Do YOU like your Studio? If you do then it doesn’t matter. Studios ARE Les Pauls. Some people look down on it because it is more budget friendly than some other Les Pauls. They don’t have all of the “Bells and Whistles”. But if that doesn’t matter to you then it doesn’t matter. BUT. Depending on the year: Classics and Traditionals were the exact same thing as the current Les Paul Standards. Classics and Traditionals can sometimes be a little more friendly on the wallet. BUT They ARE heavier guitars. Some people aren’t fans of carrying 9-11lbs on a strap. Best thing to do is go to a store and try out as many Guitars as you can so you can form your own proper opinion. I have 13 Gibson Les Pauls… and I definitely consider Studios Real Les Pauls. Cheers -Ryan
Thank for your reply but I’m still in a bind. I’m not a great fan of studio’s and what gets me is pros never play them they always play standards. No studios no classics or traditional’s. Slash plays a standard but instead of stock pickups he uses different pickups and instead of traditional tuners everyone seems to prefer locking tuners. I’d prefer a original weighted les Paul not weighted relief but what les Paul is traditionally weighted not weight relief. People also changed the tune omatic bridge etc. what’s wrong with the stock bridge. Please if you can answer the questions in this reply!!!!
Few things here: Standards ,for a good 10 years or so, had the same weight relief as Studios. During that time Traditionals were what was known as todays Standard 50s, and Classics (although some still had 9 hole weight relief) were what was known as todays Standard 60s. "Pros" definitely use them. Pickups are a matter of preference. Locking Tuners make for fast string changes and less wraps around the post so tuning stability is increased, but they give a slightly different vibration. Gibson's ABR-1 and Nashville bridges are awesome, not many people change them, unless they are changing the colour of their hardware. Then they go with Tone Pros. As far as which ones are Non-Weight Relieved. You would have to look at the specs year by year. Currently the Standard 50s/60s are Non Weight Relieved. Prior to 2019, the Traditional was the generally the only guitar that was Non-Weight Relieved, aside from a few Classics and believe it or not one year of Tributes. Also... most "Pros" will change the truss rod cover from "Standard" or whatever they are playing to the black truss rod cover with no writing on it. That way people think it might be a Custom Shop. Cheers -Ryan
I’ve got a 2014 anniversary studio with a coil split system. It’s dessert burst and are they any good. I find it strange as single coil pickups were known for noise problems hence why Humbucker pickups solve the problem. So coil split system is strange gibson fitted coil split on a Les Paul. Pity i couldn’t send you pictures and would admit to if I had the money I’d change it for a standard. I could upgrade it but would it be worth it and I believe it would devalue it. What is your opinion????
Coil split just gives you more tonal options. Standards had them for about a 10 year period. I have them on 3 of my Les Paul’s but don’t use them very often. Yes, your 120th anniversary Studio is a good guitar. But if you don’t like it then that is a different story altogether. It’s not about what other people think of your guitar, it’s about how you feel when playing it. If you think it all comes down to pickups, you could definitely change them. The Studio has a PCB, rather than Hand Wired… so you could look for Gibson Quick Connect pickups and the change would be very easy. Or you could get some wire, capacitors, and new potentiometers and solder in new pickups. Have you played a Standard? If you have and you prefer the feel of that… then I think you already know your answer. Cheers -Ryan
Just as I found out when a good friend was given a Studio for Christmas. The bottom end just isn’t there compared to the real deals.
is it chambered?
Man, you had a lot of Gibson's.
I'm at 24 right now. Almost made it 25 with a Night Hawk Standard... but I just lost out on it. Cheers -Ryan
Your channel is SOO underrated. If I had to buy stock in a youtube channel, it would be yours! You're like apple in 1997. XD
Thanks for the kind words! Guitar Channels are a niche kind of thing and it’s flooded haha! Which is awesome because there’s so much variety! Cheers -Ryan
The only big difference is in my wallet 🤐🤣
As all gibsons,overpriced
Some people certainly feel that way, some don't. I have 25 Gibsons and can appreciate their value. But I can certainly understand if some people don't want to pay their prices. Cheers -Ryan
Aren't they all?
