The arrival of the Gibson Les Paul Studio Electric Guitar in 1983 offered guitarists all the essential elements of a Les Paul Standard, including a carved top and humbucking pickups. Its simple yet elegant design quickly helped it become the most popular model in the Gibson Les Paul Series.

The first Gibson Les Paul electric guitars had chunky necks, which were perfect for some guitarists. By 1960 the Gibson Les Paul neck underwent several modifications until it became what's known as the slim-taper neck.The '59 neck profile is a nice compromise between these two designs. The 59 neck is solid mahogany with a rosewood fingerboard and pearloid trapezoid markers, with the warm, classic Les Paul feel while still allowing easy access to the upper frets.
Ever since its introduction in 1952, the Gibson Les Paul electric guitar has had an impact on both guitar players and on music itself. What started out as Gibson's answer to the introduction of solid body guitars in 1950, turned out to be perhaps the most influential of them all. The Gibson Les Paul electric guitar is a rock and roll icon. Think '60s Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Mike Bloomfield all the way up to Slash with Guns N Roses or Velvet Revolver.
