The Studio Session BB is a seriously refined Les Paul. The slim neck and ebony board make it a joy to play, and those 57 Classic pickups give you that classic Gibson warmth and bite. It’s a great option for players seeking a vintage-inspired tone and feel without the premium price tag of a full-on Standard.

Frequently Asked Questions
It opens up brighter, single-coil tones, adding versatility but losing some of the humbucker's thicker low-end.
The Slim Taper is generally comfortable, but players with very large hands might prefer a slightly thicker neck profile.
