Immaculate, Rare "Lefty" GIBSON LES PAUL STUDIO (2012)  $995 with matching padded hard-shell case + FREE Shipping.

 Since 1983 the Les Paul Studio has been a favorite, an undeniable "modern classic" for 2012, the new Les Paul Studio from Gibson USA continues to offer the tonal power and unparalleled quality and playability that first made the Les Paul Standard legendary, in a stunning Cherry finish. Still at a remarkable price for a genuine American-made Gibson Les Paul. All of the classic tonewoods are here, Gibson set-neck construction for optimum resonance and sustain. Starts with the legendary tonewood combination of a mahogany body with solid carved maple top, for tonal depth and richness, with superb clarity. The new, modern weight relief in this guitar's mahogany body enhances resonance while also reducing the guitar's overall weight. Solid-mahogany neck cut to  "quarter-sawn" grain orientation for excellent strength and optimum resonance transfer between neck and body. The neck is carved to a slim, fast '60s-style profile that measures .800" deep at the 1st fret and .875" at the 12th, with a rich brown granadillo fingerboard. PLEK-cut Corian nut, legendary Tune-o-matic bridge and stud-mounted stopbar tailpiece, with quality vintage-style TonePros™ tuners. Modern Classics pickups,  with an Alnico II magnet and coils wound to the specs of original PAF humbuckers, the 490R in the neck position, Alnico V magnet and extra turns of wire. 498T in the bridge position. Independent coil-split switching: pop up either pickup's volume control to access a new frequency tuned coil tap for a fatter single coil tone and better output balance, with hum canceling when both pickups are combined, and low-noise operation when used individually.
