Haha, isn’t that the truth? The tone can be so addictive! It definitely keeps you engaged.
I’ve owned a Gibson Les Paul Studio for a few years now, and its weight can be a bit hefty, but the ergonomics are fantastic. It’s designed for comfort, especially for those long jam sessions!
Totally agree! I find the weight makes it feel more substantial in my hands, which suits my playing style well. I play various genres, and it has handled them all with grace!

The neck on the Studio is a solid feature! I have smaller hands, and I didn’t find it difficult to navigate around the fretboard. It feels like it was made for extended play.
That’s great to hear! I was worried about the neck thickness before buying. How does it hold up for fingerstyle playing?
I’ve played fingerstyle on mine and found it very comfortable. The neck design really accommodates various techniques quite effortlessly.
I have to say, after about an hour, I do start to feel the weight. However, the tone is so rich that I’m often willing to ignore it!
That’s interesting! It’s like you get a great tone but also a mini workout. Have you tried using a strap that distributes the weight better?
Yes! A good strap makes a world of difference for longer gigs. You’re right; I often joke that it’s my bicep-toning guitar!
I’ve heard mixed opinions about the Les Paul Studio regarding playability. Some say it’s perfect for rock and blues but not ideal for jazz or metal. What do you all think?
I can see where those opinions come from, but honestly, as a metal player, I’ve loved using mine! The sustain is unlike anything else!
