Gibson Les Paul Studio - New and Improved at the same price?

[GearGasms]

Gibson just made some significant improvements to their already great Les Paul Studio model. Fingerboard binding, as well as Burstbucker Pro pickups that coil split! And I'm pretty sure the price didn't go up either! I've never really spent a large amount of time playing an LP Studio but thanks to my friends at zZounds, I get to learn about it and share it with you all!
Have a Great Weekend and Celebrate Mediocrity with GearGasms!

The price actually went down $100 from the previous model. Still don't know why an SG Standard is $200 more??

You take the stud out of Studio

at this point i think he makes these videos because he knows his reward is posting them on rig-talk and getting team ramrodded via commentary

i'm starting to think he likes the abuse lolololol

Agreed but those seem to command a premium now last time I checked. Kinda like the faded V's with ebony. Harder to find...

I have a new Studio and is way nicer than Studio guitars I've played over the past few years. I still miss my 1993 Studio but these kick ass!

I’m so f’ing tired of worthless “infomercial” videos. Get a real job.

It seems like not that long ago you could buy a Studio LP for $800.

They should bring that back, fuck the bling.

I got mine for $499 brand new in 1993.

Should have bought 2.

fuck the bling.

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that bling.

I like both.

There's something badass about a beat to shit guitar, and theres something badass about blinged out guitars.

There's just nothing badass about headless ergonomic guitars (sorry lisa )

That's $1080 in today's dollars. Still a better deal than the $1600 currently.

I actually have a real job. It's a six figure IT job that I'm retiring from this year. I make about $15-40 per video, so salute when you see me, Staff Sergeant.

I'll salute you with my big black cock right across your face.

I have this model that feels different than a lot of the others I have played. Sounds different as well. I have a Studio +. It has a thicker, rounded C profile neck and AAA flame maple top and gold hardware.. Absolutely sick guitar. In a desert burst or something like that. Got it really cheap. Sometimes the studio models really, really nail it.

I personally dislike the way binding feels on a fretboard but I know many enjoy it.
