2025 Gibson Les Paul Studio Session (Cherry) – Upgraded with Master-Wound MJ Custom Shop Antiquities The ultimate player’s Les Paul, upgraded for absolute tone perfection. Includes FREE SHIPPING and open to reasonable offers! Why buy a standard factory model when you can own a gig-ready powerhouse? This 2025 Gibson Les Paul Studio Session offers the classic mahogany-and-maple sustain you crave, but with an elite electronic upgrade that puts it in a completely different class.

The Star Attraction: Hand-Wound Mojo by a Legend The heart and soul of this guitar lies in its upgraded pickups. It features a rare, custom set of 4-conductor Seymour Duncan Antiquity humbuckers, hand-wound and signed by the Queen of Tone herself, Maricela Juarez (MJ).

• The MJ Touch: For decades, MJ ran the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop, winding pickups for rock royalty. Her hand-wound sets are famous for their touch-sensitivity, unmatched clarity, and woody, vintage PAF bite.
• Modern Versatility: Unlike standard 2-conductor vintage replicas, this rare 4-conductor setallows for advanced wiring. You get authentic, smoky 1950s PAF tones alongside crisp single-coil splitting for maximum sonic flexibility.
• Collector Provenance: The original, collectible Seymour Duncan box initialed by MJ are included to secure your investment. (Please note: The original factory Gibson pickups are not included).

Condition & PlayabilityThis guitar is in Very Good to Excellent condition. It is a clean, well-cared-for instrument that sits way above average "player grade."

• Cosmetics: The stunning Cherry finish is vibrant and deep. It shows only light finish polish swirls under direct lighting. There are no major dings, deep gashes, or structural issues.
• Performance: Weight relief ensures you can play long sets without strain. The neck is fast, straight, and plays effortlessly across the entire fretboard.

For starters, the Les Paul Studio Session’s AA flame maple top gives it a spotlight-stealing look that far outshines its price tag. A bound ebony fingerboard elevates the Les Paul Studio Session into LP Custom territory; meanwhile, a modern contoured heel gives this solidbody electric guitar a level of playability suitable for styles that lean more toward the technical side. The Les Paul Studio Session houses its four push-pull knobs give to coil tap, out-of-phase, and pure bypass options. You also get upgraded Grover Rotomatic tuning machines with Keystone buttons. SlimTaper neck profile and modern contoured heel provide outstanding hand-cradling comfort. Finally, the Les Paul Studio Session’s bound ebony fingerboard ensures a smooth feel that’s guaranteed to yield hours upon hours of inspired playing. Simply put, the Les Paul Studio Session was tailor-made for marathon-length gigs; it’s a Les Paul you can play for as long as you want without repeated trips to the chiropractor.
