Gibson Les Paul Studio Plus - USA 2001
Pickup currently unavailable
Designed for players who want classic Gibson tone and feel without the flashy frills, the Les Paul Studio has been a go-to since its introduction in the early 1980s. This 2001 Studio Plus takes that philosophy and adds a touch of elegance, thanks to its stunning flamed maple top—a premium upgrade over the standard Studio model—while keeping the minimalist aesthetic that made the Studio line so appealing.
This example comes in a rich Wine Red gloss finish, with no body or neck binding, giving it a clean, modern look. The tiger maple top features vibrant flame and depth, beautifully offset by the gold hardware, which has gently aged over time, adding a hint of vintage character.
Playability is excellent, with low action measuring 0.25mm at the 1st fret and 1.25mm at the 12th, and a comfortable modern neck profile measuring 20.64mm at the 1st fret and 25.28mm at the 12th. A nut width of 42.55mm, expanding to 52.61mm at the 12th fret, gives a smooth, familiar taper. At 3.83kg (8.44lb), it’s solid and resonant without being a boat anchor.
Tonally, it delivers everything you'd expect from a proper Les Paul. The mahogany body with maple top provides warmth, bite, and sustain, while the factory Gibson humbuckers are versatile, punchy, and articulate. From fat clean tones to snarling rock riffs, this one’s ready to handle it all.
In excellent condition for its age, this guitar shows minimal wear and has clearly been well cared for. A fantastic choice for players who want pro-level tone and playability with a sleek, stripped-back aesthetic.
Comes in Gibson OHSC.
