1991 Gibson Les Paul Studio Lite - Cherry Sunburst

This 1991 Gibson Les Paul Studio Lite is a fantastic example from one of Gibson’s most respected eras of production. The "Lite" models were unique for their use of Chromyte (Balsa) center blocks, which significantly reduced the weight while maintaining that legendary Les Paul sustain and resonance. Finished in a classic Cherry Sunburst with original Black hardware and a premium Ebony fingerboard, this guitar offers a high-end look and feel that is hard to find on modern Studios.

Specifications & Performance Setup Pickups: All-original Gibson Patent Number humbuckers (496R and 500T) for high-output, aggressive rock tones with excellent clarity.
Fingerboard: Genuine Ebony—dark, slick, and snappy—a feature now usually reserved for Custom Shop models.
Hardware: Original black Nashville bridge, tailpiece, and Grover tuners.
Setup: Freshly restrung with D'Addario 10-46 strings; professionally set up with low action for effortless playability.
Case: Includes a newer, high-quality TKL fitted hardshell case for superior protection.
Condition: Excellent vintage condition with original frets showing very little wear. Condition Note

For a 35-year-old instrument, this guitar is in impressive shape. It shows honest signs of use, including some small dings and dents from regular play. There is some minor finish wear around the headstock area from sitting on a wall hanger, which is strictly cosmetic. There are no cracks, breaks, or repairs. The electronics are original and fully functional.

A professionally serviced, era-correct Gibson that is ready to hit the stage or studio immediately. Lightweight, fast, and powerful.
