One of the key ingredients in both the sound and feel of the Les Paul Traditional is its rounded-’50s profile neck. Carved from solid quarter-sawn Grade-A mahogany, this neck transfers more string resonance to the body than thin necks, while offering the ergonomic, palm-filling grip that countless players have come to love.
Les Paul Studio gives you all the sonic versatility you could ask for, from sultry, warm bluesy tones to powerful crunch to sizzling lead tones. Finally, the Les Paul Studio is supremely playable too, thanks to its rounded ’50s neck profile and a chambered mahogany body that reduces the weight while enhancing resonance, making it outstandingly comfortable strapped on or seated.

Another electric guitar made by Gibson is the Nightwalk 2009 which is described as a version that speaks all about a guitarist keeping his options open. Advanced technology was used in creating this unique and historical guitar.
In creating the Nighthawk 2009, Gibson has breathed new life into a model it retired 10 years ago. This lusty guitar, which resembles its larger Les Paul cousin but with more defined curves, has become a cult favorite since it was discontinued in 1999, after only six years in production. The original Nighthawk was conceived of in response to the demand for a more modern silhouette and a multitude of tone options. Today’s version is still all about a guitarist keeping his options open. With two volume controls, a master tone knob and two heavy-duty pickups, guitarists can experiment with endless sounds.

When building this guitar, our luthiers spared no ebony guitar parts – the pick guard, knobs, jack plate and toggle switch all serve this guitar’s moody exterior. Engineered for comfort and maximum tone, with traditional weight relief and a pair of Gibson’s best-loved humbucking pickups, this guitar is ready to play.
