    I’m looking at my les Paul studio my dad gave me from 1996, it’s no weight relief, wine red, no dot inlays it’s the trapezoids with a neck so fat I’m amazed I could even play it back in the day also has the kluson tuners. It’s sat next to my 59 les Paul and I couldn’t actually pick the better sounding one, they’re both going to the grave! Studios back then we’re standards without a flamed top… they are different guitars now

    I got a 2015 les Paul studio in Manhattan midnight blue as my first Les Paul. I got rid of the auto-tuner and to this day it’s one of my favorite guitars. There’s nothing wrong with a les Paul studio at all. Beat it up, change the pickups, do whatever you want without all the worry you’d have with a standard. Studios are great guitars!

    I have exactly the same guitar year, colour, gold hardware, pearl dots on neck. Outstanding guitar. The colour is Ruby Red and it is beautiful especially with the gold hardware. The colour is very rare. The reason is Gibson had a little Ruby Red paint left over from the 96-98 run of P-90 equipped 'gem' series Les Paul Studio's so used it on a few 98 Les Paul Studio's
    I have had and have more expensive Les Paul's, however, this one is superb, up there with the top end at a lot less money.

    Saw the shirt and I first thought of Junior Walker. Saw him late one night on Letterman. Dude was amazing. I was really young at the time and had no idea who he was or his track record in music. Blew me away. If you look up the back story on Foreigner's 'Urgent', it's pretty cool how he came to do the sax for that song. And on youtube you can find an old 80s live performance where he came on stage with the band. He was incredible.

    Have an '89 with an ebony fretboard. My favorite guitar and one ive owned tge longest. Had to replace the pickups unfortunately and used 57 classic/57 classic+ to do so. Also upgraded the pots to what they put in the custom shop historic ones. Put some thin gold auto pin stripping tape around the body and pickguard and now its a STUNNER. I own a custom dean v, fender strat, les paul standard Gibson, and a rosewood hummingbird. With the upgrades this guitar looks better....very unique.

    I have this same Studio! I have always been curious about mine since I've never found another w the same Red finish/dot Inlays and single piece mahogany body. After doing some digging, in 98 they offered the Studio in the "Gem" finishes from the failed 97 Gem Series w P90s. Ebony was the only non-gem finish on 98 Studios, alongside Emerald, Amethyst and the beautiful Ruby👍. My first Les Paul and probably the only guitar I would never trade/sell.

    Looks like a ladybug or a cut-in-half watermelon. I wish Gibson would do this on their Standards. I just bought an outrageously flamed new 2022 AAA Lemonburst Standard that everyone fawns over, but if Gibson was currently making Standards with solid colors like this Studio here, I'd have snapped one up immediately instead of the one I 'settled' for. Sounds insane, but I just love solid color top Les Pauls.
