The most accurate reissue series Gibson's Custom Shop has ever produced!
AA flamed maple top is exactly the kind of wood that went on the Les Pauls in '59.

Mahogany back and neck with rosewood fretboard.

Remember my car analogy yesterday.
The Les Paul Studio is a Honda Civic.
The 59 RI Les Paul is a Rolls Royce.
Drivers prefer Bently's

Since this is a players guitar.
The Studio is a Honda Civic
The 59 RI is a Ferrari F1 car.
Much better
I would have used this:
Studio is a Aztek
59 RI is a Z06

yeah that would almost work especially the Z06
I mean at least make it a basic vette or something. It's just a stripped down version of the same thing.
Yeah your right, the Aztek is one fulgy car. How about a Cimmaron and a STS hehehe
