2016 Gibson Les Paul Studio T - Vintage Sunburst with Hard Shell Case

The Gibson Les Paul Studio T: Affordable Excellence for Serious Players

The 2016 Gibson Les Paul Studio T delivers iconic Les Paul tone and performance at a price that won’t break the bank. Designed for serious guitarists who demand premium quality without the high price tag, the Studio T features a carved maple top over a weight-relieved mahogany body, offering comfort, sustain, and classic tone.

The maple top provides clarity while the weight-relieved mahogany body delivers full, rich sustain without the extra heft. The 60's slim mahogany neck offers a fast, comfortable playing experience, and the thicker rosewood fingerboard enhances sustain and feel for smooth, effortless play. Equipped with Gibson’s popular 490R and 498T humbuckers, this Les Paul delivers a wide range of tones, from rich, smooth rhythms to hot, searing leads, perfect for all playing styles. The alnico magnets in both pickups add depth and richness to every note, while the self-lubricating Graph Tech nut ensures tuning stability, allowing the strings to return to pitch after heavy bends.

The manual tuners provide a vintage vibe while maintaining efficient performance. Expertly set up at the factory, the 2016 Les Paul Studio T is ready for action straight out of its traditional Gibson USA hardshell case. With a sleek, high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish, this guitar not only sounds great but looks stunning as well.

This guitar is in very good condition, having undergone a full in-store professional inspection and setup. The neck is straight and comfortable, with minimal fretwear, ensuring smooth playability. Cosmetically, it shows light to medium pick and surface wear on the top and pickguard, with additional surface wear around the sides and some buckle rash on the back. There are light dings on the end of the headstock, all of which are consistent with regular use and can be seen in the accompanying photos. The hardware has been update, but the original hardware (pickguard, back plates, switch plate, jack plate and truss rod cover) are included.
