My dad bought me one of these for christmas. It is an amazing guitar. They look so much better in person than all these pictures on here. I am stepping up from an epiphone g-400 to this guitar, and the difference is crazy. The neck fits my hands perfectly, the sound is the best thing I've ever heard. The colors and woodgrain are beautiful. Its an amazing guitar. They are now discontinued so get them while you can.

I’m a drummer but have always wanted to learn guitar. I’m self-taught and consider myself as a basement musician. I have always wanted a Les Paul so I did some research and decided on this one. What a beautiful and nice sounding guitar. I’ve had absolutely no tuning problems or any other problems for that matter. I’ve always heard that the Les Paul was heavy but this feels great. Just my opinion.

I am very impressed and pleased with this guitar. It looks and sounds great. I have no regrets on spending this kind of money for something that I will enjoy for a long time.

It's a keeper

This Gibson came out of the box with the standard factory setup, which is nice for some. I had my guy restring and set it up to my specs. The stock tuners I've left on to test. It's been a month and they fail. It's funny how such a wonderful Guitar would be fitted with tuners that won't stay in tune. The sound is incredible through my rig. I'm a poor boy growing up playing many copies cat guitars. Nothing compares to Gibson's Feel, the neck and sound left me breathless. Thanks Gibson for making the Devil pay that debt of the Golden Fiddle he always promises. M.F. S.C.

When I started out checking out Gibson's Studio Model Les Pauls I wasn't expecting the quality to be as good as it is. Boy I was wrong. Right now I have 18 Single Cut Gibson Les Pauls in my collection. And I've been using other Les Pauls in there Studio Line Up that are just Awesome. But when they came out with the Studio Premium Pluses I had to check them out. I ended up buying 2 of them. Different finishes on both. One is Trans Amber and the other Trans Black. Both have completely different Tonal Qualities and the AAA Tops on them just keep the Compliments coming in. I think Gibson should have thrown in some Burst Bucker Pickups but other then that with the 50's neck these Guitars really CRANK. I have a Total of 34 Gibson Les Pauls now and Gibson just keeps building them better. Your without a Doubt getting more for your money on these Studio Premium Pluses. If you haven't tried one out yet I'd make it a Top Priority. You'll see what I mean when you do.
