The Les Paul Studio launched in 1983 as an affordable no-frills take on the classic Les Paul design. Like other Les Pauls, the Studio uses two humbuckers and a combination of a carved Maple top on a Mahogany body.  Unlike other Les Pauls, the Studio lacks any sort of binding on the fingerboard or body. The Les Paul Studio Deluxe II had a few higher-end features compared to the standard Studio, with a carved figured maple cap, a Gibson Burstbucker Pro bridge humbucker, coil tapping, and an active boost circuit activated via a push-pull pot.
