Gibson Studio Session 2025 - Cherry- Special Upgrade

A very special Les Paul. A lot of upgrades from previous versions.

Above and beyond that. There is a very special lady that has worked for Seymour Duncan for 40 years. She is considered an absolute icon in the rock world. Her name is Maricela Juarez or ‘MJ’. She is a true legend. She has wound pickups for Jimmy Page, Billy Gibbons, Jeff Beck, Joe Bonamassa, Steve Miller and many, many others. This guitar is set up with Seymour Duncan Custom shop 4 conductor Antiquity pickups wound and initialed by none other than the legend herself. Very special. All wiring is the same as the factory set up. Watch the video. Super cool interview..
