Gibson Les Paul Studio Session, Cobalt Burst #217550128 Overview

The Gibson Les Paul Studio Session is built for players who want the classic Les Paul tone with modern versatility and comfort. Its Ultra-Modern weight-relieved mahogany body keeps it light and resonant, while the carved AA figured maple cap adds snap, clarity, and stunning stage presence.

The Grover Rotomatic tuners, aluminium bridge and tailpiece, and Graph Tech nut all work together for rock-solid tuning and sustain. It's a refined Les Paul with the soul of a classic and the flexibility of a modern workhorse.

Versatile studio electronics

Loaded with a ’57 Classic in the neck and a hotter ’57 Classic Plus at the bridge, the Les Paul Studio Session covers a huge tonal map. Push/pull coil taps unlock bright single-coil textures, phase switching adds airy, funky bite when both pickups are on, and Pure Bypass sends the bridge pickup straight to the jack for maximum punch. It’s a proper studio tool that flips from glassy cleans to thick rock grind in seconds

Fast modern playability

The SlimTaper neck feels quick and comfortable, while the Modern Contoured Heel gives easy access right up the high frets with no awkward shoulders. A bound ebony fingerboard with a 12" radius and 22 medium jumbo frets keeps bends smooth and intonation tidy across the board. It’s a neck that encourages relaxed technique, confident vibrato, and precise picking, so you can lock into the pocket or step out for lyrical leads with ease

Lightweight resonance and snap

An Ultra-Modern weight-relieved mahogany body keeps shoulder strain down without losing the authority you expect from a proper Les Paul. The carved AA figured maple cap adds definition and top-end sparkle, balancing the warm mids of the mahogany for a mix-ready voice. Finished in Cobalt Burst gloss nitrocellulose, it looks every bit as sharp as it sounds, with flame that comes alive under stage lights

Road-ready hardware and style

Grover Rotomatic tuners, an aluminium Nashville Tune-O-Matic, and an aluminium Stop Bar deliver solid tuning stability and sustain gig after gig. A Graph Tech nut keeps things sliding smoothly, and the black plastics tie the whole look together with a modern edge. With independent volume and tone controls for detailed blends and a soft shell case included, this Studio Session is spec’d to work hard and look the part
