Silverbust Les Paul Studio

dub · Post by **dub** » Sun Feb 16, 2020 2:26 am

Guess between the tele and the strat, a les paul would complete the "classic guitar" set?

Not sure about a burst on a studio though, looks strange to me without the binding.

Yeah,I just had to have one so I went to Music-Go-Round today and got this one 1993 Wine Red Studio. with Gold hardware. I think the first Les Paul I bought was the same model.

That's a much, much nicer guitar imo.

Thanks! This is the other one that I bought.It was a 2002 model that I bought used at another Music-Go-Round in 2004(Uptown Minneaapolis,now closed)It was my first "real guitar".

Do I remember that one? Would you have posted it on here or had another in the meantime?

LPs are weird for me, I either really like them or really don't. I dislike bursts on them usually, but love wine red.

That one I sold before I joined this forum But I did post a picture of it in the 2004 section of my Guitar Scrapbook This one look just like it.

I found out that this guitar is actually a 94 not a 93 because all Gibsons had a special serial number that year starting with "94" because it was Gibson's 100th Anniversary.
Also this guitar has a rosewood fretboard and 93 Studio's had Ebony.

Congrats Westie. The 90s wine red studios remain some of the best LPs I've ever played. I love a 90s studio. Always wished I got one of the alpine white ones.

I actually bought a black '92 Studio in November and didn't post about it...
Along with a frankly obscene amount of pedals.

I always wanted one because Scott Kelly from Neurosis played one exclusively for decades, so I stuck a Duncan Distortion in the bridge and it's been a lot of fun.

Nice! Can you post a photo of yours?

This thread is making me really miss my 2007 Studio in classic white. I might have to keep my eye out for another one, or maybe just try to find an SG in the same color scheme since thatÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s probably more where IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢m at now.

I have one of the Studio Gems from 1996 (amethyst), but I think I always wanted a "proper" studio lol. I had a black standard for a while, which I certainly wish I hadn't sold. I don't really get on with LPs at home, but I think I'd like to play them in a band setting.

Just as IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢m missing my studio, this pops up on local fb marketplace:

Thinking about making an offer, IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ve been buying way too many guitars lately tho.

Matt Talbot from Hum used to rock a wine red Les Paul Studio. I think he mostly uses a black one now. I have always loved his tone.

Here it is before I changed out the bridge
(currently got an uncovered SD Distortion in there):

Some more pics, with a look at the ebony fretboard and the battle damage:

That is lovely! The more basic a Gibson guitar is the more I like it.

Yeah,I love the Ebony fretboard and 90s Gibson hardshell case. I almost passed on my guitar because it has a Rosewood Fretboard and didn't come with original case like yours. The 2002 Studio I had bought at Music-Go-Round in 2004 was $800 and it came with the original black pebble grained "Gibson USA" case which had grey a shroud and lining. This 1994 Studio was $750 but has an aftermarket case. I started driving home after buying just the Marshall 5005 Lead 12 amp. I was half way home when I decided I would regret not buying so I turned the car around and went back to Music-Go-Round and bought it. I'm really glad I did.
