Gibson Les Paul Studio, Gold Top #232350010 Overview
The Gibson Les Paul Studio is a stripped-back take on one of the most iconic electric guitars ever made, built to deliver that unmistakable Les Paul tone without unnecessary extras. It combines a mahogany body, carved maple top, and set mahogany neck for the rich sustain, warmth, and midrange punch players expect, while the Gold Top finish gives it a timeless, vintage-inspired look. The Ultra-Modern weight relief keeps things lighter and more comfortable, making it far easier to handle during long rehearsals, gigs, or studio sessions without losing the solid feel that defines the Les Paul sound.
Burstbucker Pro pickups bring a modern edge to classic PAF-style tones, offering clarity, bite, and added power for contemporary playing styles. With push-pull coil splitting on the volume controls, you can easily switch between full humbucker thickness and brighter, more articulate single-coil-style sounds. The Slim Taper neck profile keeps everything fast and comfortable under your hands, while vintage-style tuners, a Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge, and aluminium stop bar tailpiece ensure reliable tuning and solid performance. Complete with a Gibson soft shell case, it’s a dependable workhorse ready for regular use.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionClassic Les Paul tone made accessible
The Les Paul Studio keeps the essential elements that made the design famous, focusing on tone, feel, and reliability. Its mahogany body and carved maple top deliver the thick, sustaining voice that defined countless recordings, with a strong midrange presence and smooth top end. By trimming back non-essential extras, Gibson has made this model more accessible while still retaining the character and performance that players expect from a USA-built Les Paul. It's everything you want from a Les Paul, without any unnecessary extras.
Modern versatility from Burstbucker Pro pickups
Equipped with a pair of Burstbucker Pro humbuckers, this Studio model brings added output and clarity to traditional PAF-inspired tones. They retain the harmonic richness and dynamic response of vintage designs but add a tighter low end and more aggressive edge when pushed. With push-pull coil splitting on both volume controls, you can access brighter, cleaner tones alongside full humbucker power, making it easy to cover everything from clean passages to heavier, driven sounds.
Comfort without compromise
The Ultra-Modern weight relief system is carefully designed to reduce overall weight while preserving the Les Paul’s signature tonal balance. It keeps the guitar comfortable over longer playing sessions without compromising on feel, tone, or response, maintaining the solid body feel and focus. Combined with the Slim Taper neck profile, it offers a playing experience that feels fast, balanced, and easy to handle whether you're practising, recording, or performing live.
Reliable hardware and classic styling
From its vintage-style tuners with keystone buttons to the Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge and aluminium stop bar tailpiece, this guitar is built to stay stable and perform consistently. The gloss nitrocellulose finish enhances resonance while giving the Gold Top its classic look, complemented by cream fingerboard binding and traditional trapezoid inlays. Finished with a fitted Gibson soft shell case, it’s ready to travel, staying safe and protected wherever you take it.
