Upgraded with a AAA flamed maple top on a mahogany body, mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard, loaded with Gibson 490R and 498T humbuckers, the Gibson Les Paul Studio Premium Plus is a beautiful electric for a working guitarist.
The Gibson Les Paul Studio Premium Plus features special smoky-coil 490R and 498T brass stud humbuckers. The 498T features increased midrange with extra high-end crunch along with vintage warmth and sustain. The 498T can deliver a solo that will cut through the mix without sacrificing any fullness. The Gibson 490R humbucker is a modern classic which features tonal characteristics similar to the '57 Classic, delivering a slight increase in the upper mids, for a more contemporary humbucking sound. The special Alnico II magnet gives this beauty a singing quality that delivers on demand. The 490R humbucker, with its neck-spaced pole pieces, is perfectly mated to the 498T.
