Lovies Guitars is excited to present this 1996 Gibson Les Paul Studio Electric Guitar finished in Walnut Gloss. This no-nonsense, player-grade workhorse from Gibson delivers classic Les Paul power with a heavier, modern edge thanks to an upgraded EMG pickup set—built for high-output tones, sustain, and aggressive performance.

Originally designed as a stripped-down version of the Les Paul Standard, the Studio model retains the core mahogany/maple construction that gives the Les Paul its legendary sustain, midrange punch, and thick low-end response. This example has been upgraded with an EMG 81 (bridge) and EMG 85 (neck), making it a serious machine for metal, hard rock, and high-gain applications—tight, focused, and extremely responsive under gain.

The Walnut Gloss finish shows this guitar’s well-played history, adding to its raw, road-worn character and stage-ready attitude.

This guitar is original hardware group (OGB noted) and comes complete with its hardshell case.

Condition is rated at 8.4/10 – Good (Heavily Loved). This instrument shows significant cosmetic wear throughout, including multiple dings on the back of the neck, headstock wear, body dings, hardware wear, and overall heavy use. Despite the wear, it remains fully functional and structurally solid—an honest player’s guitar with tons of character.
