This LP looks nice and all, but i can't help but think Gibson is overpricing it. Satin white, no grain filler, no gloss lacquer, no buffing, no fret nibs, no hard case, all this makes it cheaper to make. The only thing I can see which is a plus is the nice Pearl Logo. I have a 2013 Les Paul in satin white, same finish, with no filler. It has a 50's maple neck (which I think is a plus), Identical pickups as this one, with a silkscreen logo. It cost £599 brand new. In my opinion this should cost LESS than a regular studio, all that buffing adds much to the production process. Cheers for the review!

Thanks for checking it out! I agree with you that it is pricy for sure. It’s a damn fine guitar, but consumers aren’t ready for those price upgrades. I’m torn on the issue myself. It’s genuinely hard to find an American made electric below $2k, much less one of that has some of high end features Gibson can afford by virtue of their “SIZE” as a company. It’s a tough spot for sure. Cheers! Thanks

Thanks for the "sneak peek"! I missed out on not pulling the trigger on the old Alpine White w/Gold hardware & Ebony fretboard. Those were our secret $1200.00 Les Paul Customs(without the body and neck binding) but the same 490B/498T pups, ebony boards ect. They did look so close. Seeing this has inspired me to buy the new Modern Studio in White for a replacement of a Sorry sack of Shiteo Charvel Pro-Mod supertele with unfinished frets, sharp as sharp gets and sprouting ends. But that's another story, thank you.

@@CompanyGrip thanks! Yeah, on paper the guitar kicks ass. It's a Charvel Pro-Mod So-Cal style-2 HH HT in Robins Egg Blue(the pictures show it too pastel but it has a metallic red undertone so the paint is cool). Fishman Fluence Classic Open Core pickups, roasted maple 12"-16"neck 25.5, locking tuners but it came to me unopened by Musician's Friend, straight from Ensenada B.C. Mexico without the checklist completed. The final inspection wasn't checked off nor the neck finish checked. The owners manual had a Vans tennis shoe print on the half that wasn't torn up. Im laughing as im writing this cause if I didn't that would've triggered me to drive down to Ensenada haha. Musician's Friend is a joke, they wanted me to pay for shipping it back. People complain about Gibson like it's fashonable! I've bought 4 new guitars from Gibson, just one had a cosmetic issue which was fine. A 2004 & 05 Les Paul Melody Maker. Like a Junior but had a Tune-O- Matic & Stopbar, no pickguard & the MM paddle headstock. A Gibson Memphis 08 Tom Delonge ES-333 & Custom Shop Firebird NR VII TV White w/gold hardware, all great. Im at an age where I just want to play music with others for the fun of it so I just need one really good one. This White Studio is running neck and neck vs a 23 Seafoam Green LP Classic(Limited color for Musician's Friend which as much as I hate to go back to, I have a credit line with thdm).

This is amazing! Thanks for sharing this. Since that Gibson gear video I was eagerly awaiting this. I have a 1990 alpine white studio which is one of my favorite guitars. Of all their new releases this studio modern in the white finish is what I am most excited about. Genuinely surprised this hasn’t gotten more publicity and people aren’t talking about it more. Really tempted to buy one now that they’re out. Would be a nice modern compliment to my 1990 studio. Just wish they did some different pickups to change things up but I understand keeping the 498T/490R if this is meant to replace the current studio.

@CompanyGrip 8 ай бұрын

100% agree with you about the pickups. That 498T/490R combo is GREAT combo (it’s the pickups on the base Custom Shop model, after all!), but I, too, was hoping for a change up. Been playing the guitar more though and I do like it!

@hartcons 6 ай бұрын

your overlay graphic makes it easy to follow what's happening with the knobs and switches. I got my Gibson les Paul studio back when the retail was $1,599. I think it's great overall except the neck is a bit sticky. I like the Gibson soft case. Ironically the only hardshell case I have came with an inexpensive Epiphone acoustic (and that is a very nice case). Interested to try the moderns although the les Paul modern lite might be the one I try first. some of these satin body finishes seem like a kit body you would get online and then finish yourself -- maybe makes more sense on an acoustic if satin does in fact make the top more resonant.

Interesting look at the ‘24 Studio. I have mixed feelings about some of the new directions at Gibson. But hey, if it doesn’t work out there’s always next year’s models. I have a ‘21 Studio bought from Sweetwater, and I’m still very happy with it. Mine is cherry burst, and unlike most Studios, the maple top has a good amount of flame figuration, much more than was revealed by their online photos. Since I was a kid, I loved the beautiful, transparent cherry red of Les Pauls, and now I’ve got one. I’ve seldom liked the appearance of binding, so it’s a win-win hit.

Hi. Thanks for checking out the video. The Gibson Les Paul Studio Modern has coil tapping not coil splitting. Where it seems Epiphone puts the splitting in their guitars, Gibson seems to always prefer a tap. Thanks!

Really? So Just less windings to lower the output? But in that case you need to adjust the visuals on the side. They indicated splitting. I personally would have prefered that. Thanks for reacting! And thanks for the demo, nicely done! Regards, Wilbert

@CompanyGrip 4 ай бұрын

Hi Wilbert, thanks for your comments. Yes, Gibson has what they call a “tuned coil tap”, which involves using a separate capacitor to ground the two coils to filter certain frequencies. They(Gibson) says: “to give you more realistic P90 sounds!”, but what does mean, really? Haha. And, YES, you are correct, my graphic is a bit misleading. Sometimes in my haste I forget to fine-tune certain aspects, and the coil-tap vs coil-split graphic is one of those things that fell through the cracks. Thanks for checking out the video and for the comments! Cheers!

Plenty of people said the same thing when studios started getting over 1k price point. The last year or so has been the long inevitable price adjusting from all the inflation over the years. I just never thought it would be this exaggerated on the "lower level" American guitars. But then again, they have been smart to make epiphones higher end models the new "affordable Gibson" price point to make these prices more digestible. That's their thought process I'm sure. I'm glad I got my studio a couple years ago for 1600 OTD and my LP supreme for 3000 OTD a few weeks ago, bc all American models are gonna get some serious price hikes.
