I am offering a Gibson Les Paul Studio Tangerine Burst from 2021, a crafted in Nashville, Tennessee (USA), Les Paul model featuring a lightweight mahogany body with Ultra Modern Weight Relief (3.65 kg total weight!), arched plain-top maple top, set mahogany neck with Slim Taper neck profile and 43mm Graph Tech nut, premium rosewood fingerboard with trapezoidal acrylic inlays, two powerful Gibson 490R and 498T humbucker pickups, sophisticated electronics with push/ pull coil tap for each humbucker individually and Grover Rotomatic tuners in a brilliant Tangerine Burst high-gloss nitrocellulose finish in mint condition including brown Gibson soft case, manufacturer’s papers and professional setup with 10-gauge Ernie Ball strings.

As a “no-frills” model, the Gibson Les Paul Studio Tangerine Burst offers the authentic Les Paul sound and a contemporary playing feel, while doing away with unnecessary visual frills.

The mahogany body, featuring a plain-top maple top, offers a comfortable weight of 3.65kg thanks to the “Ultra Modern Weight-Relief” and thus promises comfortable handling even after long sessions. The tone—typical of a Gibson Les Paul—transmits superbly through the glued, one-piece mahogany neck with long-lasting sustain, and thanks to the slim Slim Taper neck profile, virtually any playing technique comes off effortlessly. The rosewood fingerboard, featuring classic acrylic trapezoid inlays and a nut width of 43mm, is incredibly comfortable to play across all 22 frets.

Plugged in, the Les Paul Studio—equipped with a Gibson 490R humbucker at the neck and a Gibson 498T humbucker at the bridge—delivers the right tones for virtually any musical genre, from blues to rock and metal. The 490R neck pickup is a subtly modernized AlNiCo II humbucker that delivers a sound in the finest PAF tradition, combining a lively response with a vocal midrange. As a hot AlNiCo V bridge pickup, the more powerful Gibson 498T humbucker coaxes punchy overdrive and distortion sounds with high punch from the guitar amplifier. Thanks to the coil-tap option via push/pull switches in the volume pots, transparent single-coil-like sounds are also part of the Les Paul Studio electric guitar’s repertoire.

A sound sample of the model can be found above at the end of the photo gallery.

A lightweight aluminum Stopbar tailpiece guides the strings over the aluminum Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge, which offers adjustment options for precise intonation and comfortable string action.

On the coveted “Open Book” headstock, Grover Rotomatic tuners ensure precise and stable tuning of the electric guitar.

In short, an incredible combination of sound, playability, and design—a true Gibson Les Paul!

This Gibson Les Paul Studio is in mint condition and technically flawless. Visually, if at all, it shows only finest wear (see photos). The frets are like new.
