I have the Satin finish of that very guitar and it is Great and love it!! With the burstbucker 3 in the bridge and the 2 in the neck. Rocks great and has beautiful cleans.
gsxerwhite I was very lucky in being able to get mine. And it does have the black pick guard. A very good friend with a connection helped me get straight from Gibson without the Retail markup.
Robert J Sounds like a sharp looking guitar. I've wanted one since I first saw one in a store in the early 90's. I was like 13 and I liked them because they didn't have binding and I thought the standards looked too gaudy for me, I was a metal head 😄 These days I'd be happy just to own an Epi LP.
This was my first Gibson, and the first nice thing I was ever able to buy for myself. I've since added more LPs to the collection, but this one? I still play every day.
Thank you Trogly for all the amazing videos over the past year +, I hope you have the most amazing new year coming... and I look forward to more videos!!! And if I am able to buy a guitar from you, you're my number one choice. Cheers!!!
Trogly, the Modern Weight Relief accommodates a long neck tenon. This Studio LP has a short neck tenon (pickup cavity at 4:35), it most likely has a Traditional Weight Relief, if any.
When it comes to Gibson, they're at their best when the guitar is the most stripped down, you can't beat a good Jr, or Studio, the BFGs are REALLY good.
Mine is a 2016 Gibson Les Paul Studio Faded T Cherry. Out of all the Studio Faded series, I don't wanna sound biased but the 2016 are the best out of the bunch, up to this point. Bought it for $800 brand new @ Guitar Center. Worth every Penny!
Thanks trogly you definitely help satisfy my curiosity about a lot of guitars and you do a great job producing these videos. I would suggest so it'd be cool to see some videos where you're actually using real guitar amps some basic Fender blackface or Marshalls. But well done. I got a phenomenal 2011 Les Paul Studio satin black that's just a killer guitar with that pickup set up in it
Bought that used from guitar center for like $650. the previous owner had bought it new and traded it in after about a month. Very happy with the explorer I traded into!
I was looking for info for this guitar and you sure filled the need. Your style and knowledge are second to none, keep up the great work and now you have to put up with me as a new subscriber. Darryl Hubbard Delhi Ontario Canada
Warped pickup rings (and warped plastics in general) usually end up that way because they weren't put into a jig to cool quickly enough or at all while the polymer was still hot. Things like a pickup ring will warp like hell at any point after being ejected from the tool (the mold) if not cooled in a jig of some kind that keeps it from doing just that
I was a fan of the 490/498 Series Gibson pickups, but yes, after playing a number of balanced Humbucker alternatives, they do have a tendency of sounding "muddy". Yes you get deep driving aggressive tones, but at the cost of almost all mids/highs.
Love the part about "studios depreciate quickly" yes, you could buy one new , walk across the street to a pawn shop and they would give you 100 bucks for it.
I've met quite a few professional guitar players who use Les Paul Studios as their main guitars. Heck, even MCR's rhythm player used one (his was white with gold hardware)
Yeah, most studios come with the same pups as the Standards, LOL that 125th anniversary model uses the same pups as the Studio so I guess they must be pretty good huh? All of the studios I have owned have either had the 490 series or the 57 classics and I will take those over the burstbuckers any day of the week. My theory is that if you can buy the same guitar as a Standard but save yourself $1,000 why not do it? Sure, you don't get the binding, then again that's where a lot of the Gibson QC troubles have been in so are you really getting such a deal? Not all of the Studios are thinner either, I think I had one that was but the other ones were the same as a Standard.
I just got this exact model for xmas. I DO love the finish, since I'm a fender guy, and this is nothing but 3 tone sunburst. Also, I grabbed it off reverb, and the previous owner swapped the pickups for seymore duncans. Happy new year!
I love the Fireburst finish I wish it was not weight relief with Burstbucker pro pickups I have a 2005 mahogany top Gibson LP studio with those pickups.
I have a 2015 Studio T WR, love it!. I noticed the pup rings spreading like that one. Seems to be a seasonal humidity thing on mine. They swell and shrink back.
Very Tempting. Especially for a Fender fan. Love the two color Burst & Split Coil Option. 🙄 I'm thinking round Tax Return time? 2/15/20ish. Me Wifey can't say anything since we split a 5g'ish return 😁 Ps: I'm sure it'll be sold by then? But I'll check your inventory first. Thank's for the info. Studio's seem in my budget? Happy 2020 🎉
I feel the same way trog! Even a new standard for the money you can find an older even better used standard if you look around. I personally like the 120th anniversary models too except for the pickup ring choices on the studios of that year but they can be easily changed out. Those are the newest LP's i like especially the maple neck versions. 120th and further back before the e-tune get better and better the further back you go. Although i did like the 2018 player plus models satin ocean blue. Some almost look grey, figured tops & p-90's or mini buckers. Very nice! Rock on!!
Coil-split is terrible..wound up swapping pots and rewiring it 50’s style.(similar to treble bleed mod in effect but achieved by changing path to output) sounds way better than stock wiring imo..it’s a lot of fun. Given the price point of lp studios it’s no surprise Gibson recently chose to market the line to diy/mod projects in UA-cam catalog.
Nice I have one, got it for a song from bestbuy, it's mostly og except I changed the tuners for locking klusons, threw on a stringbutler and changed the stopbar for an aluminum one. actually hated how modern the bridge pickup sounded so threw a Dimarzio super distortion in there :3
Hey Trogly, I have a 2013 wine red cream and chrome studio. Having great respect for you knowledge and experience, I wondered if this era or year's studios are thought of as good (or well built rather/ respected). It plays and sounds great, so I may have got lucky or that year is a solid year to collect from. I Love your show and look forward to 2020. Happy New decade, good sir!
I 've heard a few 2013 studios and they really have a woody singing kind of tone, there's something unique about them. I understand they have the granadillo fretboards, that you can normally identify from a distance, don't know how much this would affect anything. I remember reading somewhere once that some guy was hearing this type of tone in other 2013 les pauls. Could have been the type of wood/ treatment/ storage of wood from that year.
That thing is simply beautiful. Inspiring color. I love that burst!! And i'm a PRS / Kiesel die hard fan! EDITED: never mind, i wrote this before i saw all the defects. WTF, Gibson ! Please come back to the top where you belong!!!
I had the ebony 2016 les pauls studio and the electric interferance was absolutely awful, buzzing unless strings where grounded. ended up having to gut the whole thing and paint the inside with shielding paint. Now she is silent but needed a lot of work, the fretboard isn't as smooth as a gibson should be either, it's even chewed up on the sides in places.
There needs to be a larger variant range between the Studio Melody Maker and Junior. 2014 melody maker bodies are goals but ugh with the headstock area.. Looking to 🍑 flake a 2011MM SG Paint in the screwholes with shielding paint... Alternately don't play guitar naked in the rain.
Yo Trogly have you ever thought of checking a SG-Z idk if you have before but just saw one one Facebook looks like it'd make a good video for would you rock or not keep up the amazing work man I've learned so much from your videos since day one
Is the plan to sell all these at some point? If so, may I call dibs on any ‘69/‘70 Gibson SG Standards you may be willing to part with…? preferably one someone has already removed the long vibrola tailpiece and pickup covers from, maybe with nickel or chrome tuner buttons rather than pearloid ones, hopefully making it a little more affordable than one in “mint” condition?
Yo Trolgy! Love the videos. Any way saw a kinda cool guitar for sale. A fender Coronado II. Have you done a review on one of those? I had never seen one. Any info would be helpful. Have a nice day.
hopefully you see this message, quick question. Of the gibsons in current line up, do any have a chunky neck? From looking up I feel they mostly all have similar neck sizes but im a huge fan of a thicker neck and looking for a les paul with one. Thanks in advanced.
Funny, because I got this model (2016 Studio T) in black and it sounds exactly opposite of muddy. I don`t know what it proves: tonewood, inconsistency in Gibson pickups production? or maybe it just proves that nobody changed the strings on yours since 2016?
It's still there reverb.com/item/26325767-gibson-super-400-china-dragon-bruce-kunkel-custom-masterpiece-archtop-guitar?_aid=growsumo&gs_partner=Trogly and yes - I do have a video of it with video footage of it too. ua-cam.com/video/vSgEd7jaVqc/v-deo.html
Boy oh boy! That guitar is, in my opinion, not only a little bit but way.to far over the top! The price tag is ok though for the work that had be done on it
I respect the fact that you can forget that you have a Gibson Les Paul lmao
if that happens to you, it means you living right
@Conor Winston but studios are like $1300 new
Haha,yeah!
Right? What must it be like to have so many guitars you can go “Oh yeah. Forgot I had this LP just laying around”. 😂
If you want to sell the 2016 Gibson LP, I'll take it off your hands. Give me a price.
I have the Satin finish of that very guitar and it is Great and love it!! With the burstbucker 3 in the bridge and the 2 in the neck. Rocks great and has beautiful cleans.
Me too, only my came with a pair of BB pros. Hands down best purchase ever made!
Robert J That's awesome. I'd love to be able to own a LP Studio. I like that wine colored one with the pick guard
gsxerwhite I was very lucky in being able to get mine. And it does have the black pick guard. A very good friend with a connection helped me get straight from Gibson without the Retail markup.
Robert J Sounds like a sharp looking guitar. I've wanted one since I first saw one in a store in the early 90's. I was like 13 and I liked them because they didn't have binding and I thought the standards looked too gaudy for me, I was a metal head 😄 These days I'd be happy just to own an Epi LP.
gsxerwhite I am also a Metal Head and that is one reason I wanted the Burstbuckers in mine.
This was my first Gibson, and the first nice thing I was ever able to buy for myself. I've since added more LPs to the collection, but this one? I still play every day.
I have this exact guitar. Was purchased for me when I retired a few years ago. Always been a fan of the studio.
That Fireburst is gawgeous! I love that narrow perimeter instead of the recent 1/2 black teardrop burst.
this video is super cool. i love this Chanel. for the new year i think it would be cool to see some guitars from EVH gear.
Woh. I just discovered that tiny closet in the case from this video ! I've had this guitar and case for 7 years !
You don't have a leather strap on the lid??
I love your videos Trogly! I love how in depth you go with these guitars although i dont understand 50% of the lingo lol
Mirio ....hang in there...you’ll catch on quick!!!!
Thank you Trogly for all the amazing videos over the past year +, I hope you have the most amazing new year coming... and I look forward to more videos!!! And if I am able to buy a guitar from you, you're my number one choice. Cheers!!!
Never had a studio...but after watching your vids, I think I would really like the “no” binding...and not having to stress over nicks and dings!!!!
I don’t stress over nicks and dings on any of my american guitars. Lifes too short to care.
Trogly, the Modern Weight Relief accommodates a long neck tenon. This Studio LP has a short neck tenon (pickup cavity at 4:35), it most likely has a Traditional Weight Relief, if any.

I just bought one of these in red burst, my first USA gibson. And Lefty ! Love it.
I'm a lover of that finish. Another lefty wishlist guitar.
That's such a beautiful color scheme. It really reminds me of the tri-burst. I'd gladly play one of these.
My fav Studio color has to be the faded brown. One of those plugged into a Marshall JCM 2000 was what started this whole Les Paul addiction for me.
Thanks trogly you definitely help satisfy my curiosity about a lot of guitars and you do a great job producing these videos. I would suggest so it'd be cool to see some videos where you're actually using real guitar amps some basic Fender blackface or Marshalls. But well done. I got a phenomenal 2011 Les Paul Studio satin black that's just a killer guitar with that pickup set up in it
I have a 2000 or 2001 black and gold studio and I love it. It’s gorgeous and has all of the bang for less of the buck.
Happy new year trogly, also this is my first time seeing your face.
Bought that used from guitar center for like $650. the previous owner had bought it new and traded it in after about a month. Very happy with the explorer I traded into!
That neck pickup is gorgeous! I like the bridge split, not so much in full mode

Gibson sells these pup rings and they have flat bottoms. I always throw mine in the case and buy curved metal ones.
Thats an amazing sounding Studio. I have heard my fair share.
I have this exact model and it’s not muddy to my ears.
That is really sharp, simple, I love it. And Pickguards SUCK! But you don't, thanks for all your hard work man!
I was a fan of the 490/498 Series Gibson pickups, but yes, after playing a number of balanced Humbucker alternatives, they do have a tendency of sounding "muddy". Yes you get deep driving aggressive tones, but at the cost of almost all mids/highs.
Not big on bling , so the studios are my fave LP's. Great gigging tools. Black or bergundy is my fave , but I happen to like that burst.
Thanks Austin, forgetting you have a Paul laying around is kinda funny!! Happy New Year man!!
Love the part about "studios depreciate quickly" yes, you could buy one new , walk across the street to a pawn shop and they would give you 100 bucks for it.
I played a fair amount of early '90's Studios and I simply could not find one worth buying. The fit+finish on this guitar is absolutely superior.
These guitars are absolutely amazing for modding
Maybe I'm nuts, but I love both the looks and tone of this Studio!!!
Thanks Professor Trogs. Happy New Year!
I've met quite a few professional guitar players who use Les Paul Studios as their main guitars. Heck, even MCR's rhythm player used one (his was white with gold hardware)

That black doesnt blend into the others well for me
Finish looks totally Fender-ish giving it a 'Parallel Universe' series quirky charm
I have a Les Paul studio 2016 , these guitars are amazing
I do have a 19 studio in wine red. It’s become my most played!
If I had the money, I would have bought this before the video finished. I really like the Fireburst finish.
I love the Fireburst finish I wish it was not weight relief with Burstbucker pro pickups I have a 2005 mahogany top Gibson LP studio with those pickups.
I have a 2015 Studio T WR, love it!. I noticed the pup rings spreading like that one. Seems to be a seasonal humidity thing on mine. They swell and shrink back.
I’ve seen a lot of your videos, but never saw your face! Cool to put a face to the familiar voice
I love the Fireburst finish. Studio LPs are a good value used. Just my opinion.
I definitely notice the body thickness difference between my studio and traditional.
Also same set of pickups that is in my Firebird Studio T (2017).
I would say it sounded "fuzzy" at times, not so much "muddy". Overall, I think it sounded great.
Well put. His amp almost sounded like an old Tone Bender pedal when he drove it
I love the smoke house studio. It's next on my list.
Very Tempting. Especially for a Fender fan. Love the two color Burst & Split Coil Option. 🙄 I'm thinking round Tax Return time? 2/15/20ish. Me Wifey can't say anything since we split a 5g'ish return 😁

You could put painters tape on your scale to protect the guitars.
Trophy you should do the studios with neck bindings in 2018 and 2019
Wish I could be lucky enough to have Les Pauls laying around that I had forgotten about.
Coil-split is terrible..wound up swapping pots and rewiring it 50’s style.(similar to treble bleed mod in effect but achieved by changing path to output) sounds way better than stock wiring imo..it’s a lot of fun. Given the price point of lp studios it’s no surprise Gibson recently chose to market the line to diy/mod projects in UA-cam catalog.
Great channel! great guitar too but it reminds me of a cheap 70s Tiesco with the burst showing the red distinctly rather than fade
I like how the shielded plate does the opposite of what it’s suppose to. Lol
Nice I have one, got it for a song from bestbuy, it's mostly og except I changed the tuners for locking klusons, threw on a stringbutler and changed the stopbar for an aluminum one. actually hated how modern the bridge pickup sounded so threw a Dimarzio super distortion in there :3
How about you review a Gibson n225. Very rare Gibson and completely unique!! Keep up the good work
Hey Trogly, I have a 2013 wine red cream and chrome studio.

This one looks great to me. I'm not in the market, but I really like it. Thanks for the great video.
I have the Standard and CM models of 2016.
I wish I had so many les Paul’s I could forget about one😥
And what about Tribute or old Faded series ? I got LP Tribute and it got same pickups as guitar in this vid.
I have a 94 white studio with an ebony fretboard. I’ve yet to find a standard that plays better.
Any chance on a Gibson Les Paul Custom John Sykes model? Would love to see a review on that 😁
I like the look of that Studio.
Sounds great too.
Nice guitar I like the sunburst its in good shape.
There needs to be a larger variant range between the Studio Melody Maker and Junior. 2014 melody maker bodies are goals but ugh with the headstock area..
Looking to 🍑 flake a 2011MM SG
Paint in the screwholes with shielding paint... Alternately don't play guitar naked in the rain.
How do you compare this to a Epiphone 59' Inspired by Gibson les paul? Exclusing the looks. Sound, feel, comftability and quality
Did you get the Kotzen Tele from Robert Baker
Nope
Try saying "first fret neck depth" over and over really fast.

Yo Trogly have you ever thought of checking a SG-Z idk if you have before but just saw one one Facebook looks like it'd make a good video for would you rock or not keep up the amazing work man I've learned so much from your videos since day one
m.ua-cam.com/video/uIsN_IQBYMM/v-deo.html
The original model it was based on m.ua-cam.com/video/5bjGNkrWPj0/v-deo.html
Some years Studios were the same thickness as a Standard.
Wow, you're really a much improved player.
I have the faded cherry 2016 T. But it doesn't have the splits
Is the plan to sell all these at some point? If so, may I call dibs on any ‘69/‘70 Gibson SG Standards you may be willing to part with…? preferably one someone has already removed the long vibrola tailpiece and pickup covers from, maybe with nickel or chrome tuner buttons rather than pearloid ones, hopefully making it a little more affordable than one in “mint” condition?
Are these nitro finish? It’s SAD because you can’t play them all at once and it would take an assistant to keep them all in spec.
can you do a 2018 les paul player plus plz? they are pretty cool guitars and sound great imo
Yo Trolgy! Love the videos. Any way saw a kinda cool guitar for sale. A fender Coronado II. Have you done a review on one of those? I had never seen one. Any info would be helpful. Have a nice day.

A same with diagonal C in bodyor on fret 22
I just bought les Paul studio used and it had stickers on it, what can i use to get the glue residue off
I love that finish
Check out the 2015 les Paul traditional classic abr
That's a nice looking Studio
Please review a USA made Fender HM Strat!
Have you heard of the gibson 400 china dragon? one just popped up on reverb, could be cool for a wyron
edit: it sold super quick
It's still there reverb.com/item/26325767-gibson-super-400-china-dragon-bruce-kunkel-custom-masterpiece-archtop-guitar?_aid=growsumo&gs_partner=Trogly

Boy oh boy! That guitar is, in my opinion, not only a little bit but way.to far over the top! The price tag is ok though for the work that had be done on it
Is this guitar very comparable to a 2014 Les Paul Fireburst LPJ?
Yep, grounding the backplates will kill the static.
That’s a great sounding guitar.
Could you review the fender electric xii
Headstok your cutting digonal C on right
What do you think of the Gibson J-45 Studio?
Trogly do you still help folks trade their gear?
Can u please document a brian may guitar?
I know someone who has one,they're awesome
