Les Paul Studio Electric Guitar Reviews
From Musician's Friend: The
original idea of the Les Paul Studio was to create a somewhat lower priced
Paul by dispensing with some cosmetics. The result was an especially
clean, handsome guitar with all the Paul essentials.

I purchased this guitar from a music store called City Music in Launceston,
Tasmania, Australia. I had to travel two hours to get it and I paid
$700 for it. I bought this particular guitar because I really wanted
to buy a Les Paul but there was no way I could afford the real thing.
I was actually browsing through an old music magazine of my brothers and I
came across an advertisement for Epiphone guitars. I actually was
really impressed aesthetically by the sunburst looking one but no where in
Australia could I find this particular color. Anyway I settled with
a beautiful cherry red.
As I mentioned I really love the look of this guitar as it is both really
"rock" and "glam" looking. It is also very
playable with a nice action and a great feel. I find that you can
also achieve a really heavy sound especially when you kick in both
humbuckers.
The only thing that I do not like about this guitar is that it is quite
light but then again sometimes that can be a positive especially during
gigs.
The basic construction is rosewood fingerboard, cherry red cosmetics, 3
way selector switch, two chrome humbucking pickups, two volume and two
tone controls both in translucent black. Also it has a bolt on neck.
A great looking guitar for somebody that basically likes to rock out those
power cords and appreciates the heavier side of music. But that's
not to say its not a versatile guitar as it can quite comfortably handle
the melodic clean sounds all the way to some honky tonk country.
Wootyman gives the Epiphone
Les Paul Studio Electric Guitar a 4 out of 5!
I bought it at Sam Ash music in Time's Square...I
paid about $400.
It has a clean sound and it's solid.
