I have a messed up neck and ya the lighter weight definitely helps me!

They actually came both ways - I’ve got 2 - 1 with maple top and 1 without.

Hello Why little? quitar?

Exactly. Great value with less responsibility haha. I feel you get to play more expressively when you're not worried about hurting the guitar too!

@@Trog I have the same from 2011....(2011 model)

Plays well too!

Most Used studios vary from 450-700 depending on the model (some are more expensive depending on specs) and if you're buying from a store or craigslist guy. Studios are very good guitars, they are bare bones rockers. They play well and are great for a gigging musician. A Les Paul standard is a completely different feeling guitar and feels and looks more 'professional'. They have binding on the neck which you might like or not. I would advise you to go to your local guitar store and try a few out. While the standards are very nice guitars, sometimes it is nice to have a studio. You don't have to worry about it getting all dinged up. 90s studios are excellent guitars. As far as an epiphone comparison - they will feel very different since they use different finishes. Epis are good guitars too if you don't wish to spend more than $300. If you need help finding a les paul, feel free to email or facebook troglyzeburninater@yahoo.com facebook.com/troglys

The Trogly's Guitar Show hey, ty man, that's awful nice of you, offering a perfect stranger help, and I will take you up on that. I have about a gnote to spend, but I really want an l.p. with an ebony fretboard, I just like the way they play... or sound better, imo. ideally I would like to keep it around 750, in the hopes of getting one that is in good playable shape, you know, under a hundred thousand miles, lol...

A 90s Studio w/ ebony board or a late 70s/early 80s The Paul or Firebrand sounds like they would be a good fit for you. Feel free to reach out

I haven't had the opportunity to review one yet, sorry!

essentially, the finish will just rub off and you'll be left with bare wood eventually

Would that be like those fender relics or just awful ?

Seeing the bare mahogany is the beauty of it for me. It also comes with 490/498 pickups like standards of the time. It’s also a early 2000s Gibson

In the used market, sometimes people will keep the original pickups for themselves when they sell the guitar because they like them and they put something else in. There isn't anything wrong with most aftermarket pickups though.

Esp when it's Burstbucker Pros they're the best Gibson made modern pickups IMO

Hello I'm semi begginer Is studio ok for blues and hard rock? Thank you

@@dimitrisaivaliotis5616 I play all sorts of music with this guitar, including hard rock. Very versatile guitar if they are set up properly. Coming from the factory, I did not like the set up, so I set it up myself, the way I like it. Whatever type of music you are playing, make sure you have the right amp/pedals to achieve your sound. I love this guitar and would put it up against any other Les Paul out there. Great guitar. Hope this helps.

@@robtrenholm5039 😊 Thank you The line quitar/pickups/amp have a sertain rule?

@@dimitrisaivaliotis5616 No certain rule. The combination of all three to get the sound you are trying to achieve. Could be any combination. Just find one that works. Settings on amps/pedals plays a major rule.

It’s maple you dingus. They made both mahog and maple tops. You can literally see the wavy maple grain in the wood. Mahogany has a tight straight-line type of grain. Very easy to identify. Do your research before you go crying wrong wrong wrong

Yes

I have one. Yes.

check out modern episodes - the show has evolved a long way in the past 3 years

@@Trog You're right. Of all the "tutorials" re guitars yours is the one I like best. It has evolved.
