## Overview

The Gibson Les Paul Studio 2016 T Electric Guitar in Alpine White combines a carved maple top with a mahogany back, offering a classic tone with modern weight relief. It features high-quality 490R and 490T humbuckers for versatile sound, a traditional Graph Tech nut, and a comfortable neck design, making it perfect for both vintage enthusiasts and modern rockers.

## Description

The Les Paul Studio from Gibson USA has been enormously popular since its arrival to the line up in 1983, winning fans for its ability to deliver genuine Les Paul features, feel and tone at an unbeatable price thanks to its stripped down ethos. The Les Paul Studio T brings it all back in Traditional form, with the added versatility of coil-split switching and historic appointments, plus the Studio's lack of body and fingerboard binding for a no-nonsense look, all at an unbeatable price for a genuine American-made Gibson Electric guitar.

## Features

- The classic tone wood combination of carved maple top with mahogany back with modern weight relief delivers timeless Les Paul depth, clarity and sustain.
- Features common to the Gibson USA's 2016 Traditional range include our original neck width of 1 11/16" at the nut, historic neck heel shape, standard high-quality manual tuners, a traditional Graph Tech nut.
- The pickups are the 490R and 490T humbuckers and offer superbly rich vintage-inspired tones with the ability to grind out the highest-gain modern rock, plus coil splitting for authentic single-coil tones.

Ho acquistato questa chitarra (modello 2016) perché veniva offerta ad un prezzo concorrenziale (circa il 35% di sconto sul prezzo di listino) e perchè era venduta e spedita da Amazon, fattore che mi forniva una certa garanzia di correttezza. Nulla da eccepire sui tempi di consegna tipici Amazon, bensì sul pacco e sul prodotto.Il pacco (cartone Gibson originale) non solo pareva avesse trascorso anni in giro per il mondo, ma evidenziava il fatto che fosse già stato aperto ed "ispezionato". Ma questo è il meno. La chitarra aveva evidenti segni di una caduta sul ponte, sui controlli volume/tono e alla base del manico. Molto probabilmente era una chitarra tenuta in esposizione.Ero incerto se renderla immediatamente, ma poi ho optato per farla visionare ad un liutaio al fine di valutare se l'eventuale riparazione fosse in ogni caso conveniente.Così è stato e me la sono cavata con circa 90€ di spesa e mi ho tenuto questa Les Paul a cui ambivo da tempo.Il vero problema è che ritengo sia obbligatorio scrivere chiaramente nell'annuncio che il prodotto in vendita presenta segni di usura e qualche "difetto" estetico. Cosa che Amazon, colpevolmente, non ha fatto. Ritengo questa cosa grave e non secondaria, soprattutto perchè può minare la fiducia che detenevo nella piattaforma.

*by M***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 2, 2017*

This thing sings. Amazingly flexible tone, wide, flat neck that makes soloing a dream, irresistible looks.Negatives? Well, with mine I received a black Gibson hard-case with white plush lining. Looks cool today but I think the furry liner will look pretty awful after a few gigs.  That's it. That's my biggest objection. So what we're saying is – five stars easy.
