Gibson Les Paul Studio, Ebony (1993)

Full Description

The 1993 Gibson Les Paul Studio in Ebony captures the essence of classic Les Paul tone and feel in a more stripped-down, workhorse package. Built in the USA during a highly regarded era for Gibson, this model delivers the same core construction and sonic character as its higher-end counterparts, with a sleek all-black finish that emphasizes its no-nonsense, performance-driven design.

Featuring a solid mahogany body with a carved maple top, the Les Paul Studio offers the rich sustain and tonal depth the model is known for. The mahogany neck, typically carved into a comfortable ’50s Rounded or ’60s Slim Taper profile (varies by production), is paired with a rosewood fingerboard for smooth playability and warm articulation across all 22 frets.

Equipped with Gibson humbuckers of the era (commonly 490R in the neck and 498T in the bridge, though this can vary slightly), the guitar delivers everything from warm, full-bodied cleans to aggressive, high-output crunch. The traditional control layout—two volume and two tone knobs with a 3-way toggle switch—provides intuitive tonal shaping, while the Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece ensure solid tuning stability and sustain.
