I have one of these and have owned for over 10 years now. I have a number of other more expensive, higher end guitars, but for whatever reason always come back to this one. I also like the look of it now that it's somewhat road worn. These age in a cool way, imo.
I played one of these in a Guitar Center, and I absolutely fell in love with it. It was so amazing to play, and for only about $800 or so, but alas, I didn't have the money at the time and lost it to another person. In fact, I loved it so much that I am now looking for one for myself. Maybe one day I'll own one myself.
I have the brown version. Still one of my best guitars.
They actually have a mahogany top and came with burstbucker pro pickups.
There is a difference between the Gloss Studios and the Faded/Worn Studios.
The Faded comes with Burstbucker Pro pickups, the Gloss comes with the 490s.
Hard to understand why Gibson put the same pickups that went into their top of the line Les Paul into the Faded Studios.
I have the same from 2006. I bought it off a guy on Craigslist for $600 cash. A total steal if you can find one. Mine has Burstbuckers making me think it was a Musicians Friend Studio "Vintage Mahogany" run. Mahogany top, body, unbound neck, Great guitar...
Thanks for this fine video! It caused me to dig out my own LP Studio(2007). When I first got it I wasn't impressed with its look, they had the SG version also. My one has Burstbucker Pro p'ups and is chambered, so VERY light indeed ( maybe 5 lbs but feels like 4 at times)and it cost me around the equivalent of $500 (USA) in 2008 . It is my fave guitar in terms of comfort. If one is a small person with small hands or with a bad back it is a PERFECT guitar because you can stand for hrs with it. LOL. The sound on the midway position on the p'up selector creates a nasal, vintage Albert King tone and i've had people asking me to swap with them because the tones available on this one can't be accessed on their high end LP Standards. It's such a basic guitar with no binding, no frills. I think the lack of heavy lacquer causes it to breathe and really growl. Two days I got a 2024 Studio in Blueberry, stunning looking Studio but in terms of RAW vintage sound it pales into significance compared to this stripped down workhorse. The downside to this worn cherry is that the frets wear very quick, not sure why, maybe the quality was poor. Also the colour does peel off every time you use it ( not an issue if you like the distressed look) and the soft wood dents easily.
I got one of these in 2004, brown with a mahogany top. One of my favorite guitars ever!
I 💖 my 2008 Les Paul, and looks identical to that one, but original pickups and no wear. I played it in my church's band for a few months. Made sure I didn't sweat on it... In 2023 it sounds and looks amazing. For $700 bucks on sale can't go wrong.
I love the feel of these finishes! I have a rare 1996 les paul traditional in the satin like finish and I love it!
I have this guitar and LOVE it! Studio's are great guitars.
I own a 2010 Studio Identical to yours. Love it, mine not for sale ! It is my favorite player out of five that I own ! Good luck ! 💥🔥
Great video. I have the same model. Got it back in 2007 and had it since. The neck feels amazing and the light weight is nice. In my opinion it has a nice crisp treble tone that I love. My neck and body finish is showing some of that faded worm down look to it as well so that gives it a nice touch
I have a messed up neck and ya the lighter weight definitely helps me!
I have read that these actually have a mahogany top.
They actually came both ways - I’ve got 2 - 1 with maple top and 1 without.
I have a 2008 version and i like it cuz its different than the traditional less pauls. It plays like a dream and stays in tune.
I own one of these! Absolutely my favorite guitar I've ever picked up. My cousin bought it brand new in 2007, and I got it for 550 dollars last year :)
I’ve got a 2010 LP studio silver burst. It plays absolutely fantastic.
I've owned 3 of these.. Great gig guitars... Sounds and Plays just like a more expensive Les Paul but 1/3 of the price (used)... don't have to worry as much about them getting damaged or stolen while at a gig as compared to your LP Standard, TRAD, Classic, Custom, Vintage etc.....
Exactly. Great value with less responsibility haha. I feel you get to play more expressively when you're not worried about hurting the guitar too!
@@Trog I have the same from 2011....(2011 model)
I've got a 2016 one. The pickups sound great, but I think the neck is a little chunky for my taste. Trogly, it would be nice to make a new review with more specs and a better demo.
Interesting comment on the E string with the nut and the pinched sound. Good info
I found one of these completely whole in the garbage in Florida.. it was a 2006.. someone had obviously dropped it.. it had broken right below the headstock but was still attached by the plastic or whatever is on the face of the headstock.. I'm a decent woodworker so I wet it, glue it and clamped the crap out of it.. no wood was missing at all somehow..I mixed up some stain and the repair was pretty much undetectable..I played it when I sold it to a guy off Craigslist..I told him what I had done and still got 500$ for it in about 2011.. it had burstbucker pros..I almost didn't sell it when I heard it.. man I loved the sound but hate the way les Paul's usually play.
I have this same model. I really like it!! I changed the knobs to gold Gibson knobs,looks better to me. Its a great little guitar! Stays right in tune!
Hello
Why little? quitar?
That Hocus Pocus riff put a smile of joy on my face :)
I have the 2005 version Gibson Faded Les Paul studio Red with the Mahogany top it took me forever to set it up now it sounds great with the Burstbucker Pro pickups was gonna replace the Nut with Tusq version but the neighborhood tech F-it up so just gonna leave it as it is, at first I thought the slim taper neck was too small now I'm used to it.
awesome guitar. but i bet the gibson factory pick ups sounded better in it.
I have a 2007 Gibson Les Paul Studio in the same faded cherry satin finish. Mine has been played a hell of a lot more than that one. I've got buckle rash on the back of the body. The finish is worn off on the back of the neck worse than that one. I have a video of me playing it on my channel here.
No comments on how out of tune it is?
In the early 2000's, when I bought most of my guitars, I used to look at these in the guitar shops all the time. I realised that getting the faded studio was about the only way I was going to get a US Les Paul, but I just didn't like the finish on them, I thought it looked really cheap, and made it look low end. I've started looking at LP's again over the last year or so, IDK I think the current tributes look better than the faded studio. TBH I'm still not too sure how I feel about not pulling the trigger and getting the faded studio, I sort of wish I had, just to have an US LP, but...I think what I didn't like about the faded studio, was the way you could see the wood grain, It reminded me of the really cheap Melody Makers, that were around at that time, ultimately that's what stopped me.
Seeing the bare mahogany is the beauty of it for me. It also comes with 490/498 pickups like standards of the time. It’s also a early 2000s Gibson
Nice guitar
I have the 2008 LP studio. Nice axe !!
I like the satin too
I love mine
Got one myself, last three on the serial... Well I call mine "Lucy" for short
how much would a used studio set someone back? and, what difference in performance is there compared to a l.p. standard? are they better than the epiphone clone?
Most Used studios vary from 450-700 depending on the model (some are more expensive depending on specs) and if you're buying from a store or craigslist guy. Studios are very good guitars, they are bare bones rockers. They play well and are great for a gigging musician. A Les Paul standard is a completely different feeling guitar and feels and looks more 'professional'. They have binding on the neck which you might like or not. I would advise you to go to your local guitar store and try a few out. While the standards are very nice guitars, sometimes it is nice to have a studio. You don't have to worry about it getting all dinged up. 90s studios are excellent guitars.
As far as an epiphone comparison - they will feel very different since they use different finishes. Epis are good guitars too if you don't wish to spend more than $300. If you need help finding a les paul, feel free to email or facebook

The Trogly's Guitar Show hey, ty man, that's awful nice of you, offering a perfect stranger help, and I will take you up on that. I have about a gnote to spend, but I really want an l.p. with an ebony fretboard, I just like the way they play... or sound better, imo. ideally I would like to keep it around 750, in the hopes of getting one that is in good playable shape, you know, under a hundred thousand miles, lol...
A 90s Studio w/ ebony board or a late 70s/early 80s The Paul or Firebrand sounds like they would be a good fit for you. Feel free to reach out
looks fantastic
Plays well too!
have you tried the 2013-2014 LPJ ?
I haven't had the opportunity to review one yet, sorry!
U said the finish will fade off with sweat, how bad will the fade off be cuz I’m planning to buy this and I have really sweaty palms
essentially, the finish will just rub off and you'll be left with bare wood eventually
Would that be like those fender relics or just awful ?
04:00 - Attention - it is not the stock Gibson pickups.
Tune the guitar befere you start recording!
Just want to say I have this exact guitar with the Gibson book explaining this guitar. You are wrong about the top of this guitar. It is all mahogony with a rosewood fret board. NOT a maple top like most Les Pauls. He has stated in this video that this guitar has a maple top. NOT TRUE. All mahogony.....back and top!! Great guitar that comes with burstbucker pro pickups.
Hello
I'm semi begginer
Is studio ok for blues and hard rock?
Thank you
@@dimitrisaivaliotis5616 I play all sorts of music with this guitar, including hard rock. Very versatile guitar if they are set up properly. Coming from the factory, I did not like the set up, so I set it up myself, the way I like it. Whatever type of music you are playing, make sure you have the right amp/pedals to achieve your sound. I love this guitar and would put it up against any other Les Paul out there. Great guitar. Hope this helps.
@@robtrenholm5039
😊
Thank you
The line quitar/pickups/amp have a sertain rule?
@@dimitrisaivaliotis5616 No certain rule. The combination of all three to get the sound you are trying to achieve. Could be any combination. Just find one that works. Settings on amps/pedals plays a major rule.
It’s maple you dingus. They made both mahog and maple tops. You can literally see the wavy maple grain in the wood. Mahogany has a tight straight-line type of grain. Very easy to identify. Do your research before you go crying wrong wrong wrong
I can´t understand why people replace Gibson PU´s, here the same drama sounds not cool, sorry for that , subbed ... )JO
In the used market, sometimes people will keep the original pickups for themselves when they sell the guitar because they like them and they put something else in. There isn't anything wrong with most aftermarket pickups though.
Esp when it's Burstbucker Pros they're the best Gibson made modern pickups IMO
Thats the guitar I have!
Parece a strinberg LPS-260 Charry faded
It's all mahogany?
Tune your guitar FFS!!
Isn’t that a mahogany top?
Yes
I have one. Yes.
You need to speak clearly into the mic or lower the porn soundtrack. Very distracting.

@@Trog You're right. Of all the "tutorials" re guitars yours is the one I like best. It has evolved.
