Gibson Les Paul Studio Gold Series, Alpine White (Amazon Exclusive)

If you're expecting to get a Les Paul with all the bells and whistles, this Gibson is not for you. This is a bare-bones LP meant for studio production use, not to make a fashion statement on-stage. I understand why there was a bad review due to the damage from shipping, but that feedback should be provided about the seller, not the product. That being said, this is a very good instrument for the price and an authentic piece of the Gibson family of guitars.

So happy with this guitar. Plays great, looks great and didn't pay all the dough for a real Gibson made in the USA!

Custom Special - Nice looking, nice sounding (at least on EL84s, at least the neck pickups which I use 90% time). The pickups are no Classic 57s but not bad at all. Arrived with a lifting fretboard, but I don't know if it is Gibson's, or Amazon's or my international shipper's (LBC Shipping Cart) fault. Ordered Titebond and fixed it myself. Contrary to others' experience, the tuners held tune just fine, but feels flimsy (upgraded mine with Grovers). I had no problem with lowering action as well, pots are Korean-made as reported by others, but they are smooth and fine - no need to upgrade. Love the feel of the neck. Mine has no finishing issues.

Great guitar for the price. The denim color seems more green than blue but overall this is a great deal for a USA guitar. But its not all USA The volume and tone pots say Korea on them. Not sure about the pickups but Im going to think they are Korean too. Guess they took a look at PRS S2 and said if they can put Korean electronics we can too. Photo attached.

I love the build quality, the paint, the finish, and most of all the tone of this guitar. The price point was a good balance between quality and value.

Holy disappointment Bat Man! I love the look of these guitars so I ordered one and this is what I got. The finish is beautiful and the sound Is good but who wants a damaged headstock? In all likelihood, the headstock will totally break off. I am not sure if this is a shipping or Gibson issue. This guitar came with no documentation or hardware and was not shipped in the original packaging. Crack in the neck at the headstock is shown in the pictures.

I love this guitar... it had a couple blemishes, so it was discounted... thanks... a awesome purchase.

Not a traditional but well made and lighter with a pretty decent tone. Neck feels good but I’d say I my hands are average.

This was my first genuine Gibson Les Paul guitar. It is a beautiful piece of kit but I have a few small niggles on the actual finish of this guitar. The Brass separators are a bit rough and should have been filed and rounded off. I also feel the fretboard should have been polished to much higher standard as it feels like there is wax still on the actual frets. A bit of a bit sloppily finished.

Una buona chitarra!Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo, una chitarra equilibrata dai suoni puliti ma anche decisi.Potenziometri ben calibrati la loro corsa è ben dosata.

La guitare, achetée "neuve" à bon prix sur Amazon, n'est pas aux standards de qualité qu'on est en droit d'attendre d'une Gibson.Tout d'abord plusieurs défauts esthétiques (Cf. photos) :- un éclat de verni sur le bord de la touche, en première case ;- une grosse tache de verni sur la touche au-delà de la 22ème case ;- un impact sur la touche sous le repère de la 9ème case ;En branchant la guitare, le micro chevalet sonne parfaitement, mais aucun son ne sort du micro manche.Bref, j'ai eu l'impression de recevoir un guitare (mal) reconditionnée, et pas une guitare neuve dont la qualité aurait été vérifiée...Donc je l'ai renvoyée à Amazon pour un échange, apparemment le colis a été livré le 23, mais on est le 28 et je n'ai toujours pas de nouvelles...

I was under the impression it may have been marked,it was in a box that had protection,also it was in a quality Gibson padded gig bag. The guitar was immaculate,not even a small scratch anywhere XLNT bargain. I can only assume that the wear marks all over the front of the box,would have made it hard to sell through retail.So to the van driver who let it slide about in the back of his van, Cheers Mate,you saved me a nice few quid.And yes the guitar plays great.

Nach langem hin und her überlegen und vielen schlechten Erfahrungen mit Gibson USA habe ich mich entschieden die neue Les Paul Classic doch zu probieren. Und siehe da, entweder war's Zufall, oder im Hause Gibson hat sich mal wieder was in die richtige Richtung entwickelt. Hatte mir die Gitarre gleich 2 Mal bestellt, um mal bisschen vergleichen zu können. Von der Verarbeitung und Einstellung waren beide gleich hervorragend. Keine Mängel und gute Bespielbarkeit von Haus aus. Habe dann die leichtere von beiden behalten und leichte Modifizierungen vorgenommen (Slash PU's und paar Hardwareteile ausgetauscht). Letztendlich habe ich nun für ca. 2.100 EUR ne Gibson Les Paul, die sich hinter einer günstigen Customshop nicht wirklich verstecken braucht (ich besitze selbst einige teure Les Pauls).Einzig die Farbe der Gitarre ist im Original nicht so intensiv wie auf den Foto's hier.Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis stimmt hier mal wieder. Ganz klare Kaufempfehlung für den, der eine Gibson Les Paul möchte, die optisch mehr als eine Studio hat, aber weitaus weniger kostet als ne neue Standard oder gar ein Customshopinstrument.
