Detail 01
Ultra Modern weight relief
Reduces overall body weight while retaining the mahogany-and-maple construction.

Independent shopping perspective
Built around the Les Paul Studio platform, the Studio Session pairs a weight-relieved mahogany body and carved AA figured maple cap with a SlimTaper mahogany neck and bound ebony fingerboard. Its ’57 Classic and ’57 Classic+ pickup set is managed by individual push/pull volume and tone controls, adding coil-tap, phase, and Pure Bypass options. The modern contoured heel helps reach upper positions, while the familiar Tune-O-Matic and stopbar layout keeps the setup focused on direct, hands-on control.
