The Ergonomics Of A Les Paul Guitar...

[Inspector #20]

Here's a video on the '59 burst Les Paul guitar estimated to be worth around $750,000.00. I wish I could travel back in time and buy a whole whack of them bursts and then travel back to the future and become an instant millionaire!

It's a crime that black cherry burst wasn't offered there.

I've seen those wine red ones in person. They look WAY better in person than in the pictures.

Completely agree. Actually, most of them do. But, that wine red is awesome in person.

I must admit I like the wine red, but I love the black cherry burst.

That's a 2017 color I believe? Smaller neck, as I think it's been mentioned. One of the coolest colors in recent memory though.

Great looking guitars...especially the cherry one with gold hardware which looks pretty sharp and classy. I have the black one...a 2008 Gibson Studio LP that is chambered and sounds really good. I picked that one up a few years back for a good deal.

I'm seriously considering a 2016 Studio T Series right now. I love vintage tuners, which it has, but I can't get the Black Cherry Burst, as that's a 2017 only color. here's the description of the neck: "Original neck dimensions from the Les Paul that launched a thousand hits"

Speaking of Wine Red.... I like this color too. And it goes well with beer!

I have a 2016 Traditional (that's it in the avatar) and it has one of the best necks of any LP I have owned. Chunky but not too fat, really fills the hand but stays fast. I think the Studios from that year have the same neck profile, so personally I would jump all over it. I really want to get a studio myself TBH.

I'm a little nervous - this will be my 4th brand new Gibson - but I want that neck...and the coil tapping/splitting feature is versatile too...

Here's the one & only Zakk Wylde performing an insane solo in Japan on his Les Paul Custom guitar. LP guitars can be real shredders for sure.

No noise with your PCB?

Traditionals don't have a PCB, they're PtP, but really the board in the studio should be quieter than PtP if any difference at all. Definitely nothing to worry about.

Thanks for the tip....

Jeez...those are all really nice guitars and of course I like the black one but that blueish green LP somehow catches my fancy with the gold speed knobs. It sure has a WOW factor to it.

I love my two Les Pauls. I've had them since the '80s, and will probably never sell them.

Access is no problem for me, as I have pretty big hands. Plus, I don't play in the "wank zone" all the time.

They feel right. Also love my SGs, Vs, and Firebird.

A wine red studio is on my short list of guitars to own.

I used to have one. With black plastics. It looked very nice, although I would have preferred white. Never bonded with it, though, so I sold it.
