Gibson Les Paul model electric guitar. The headstock is black with the "Gibson" logo in white and the "Les Paul" signature in gold. The tuning pegs are arranged in a 3x3 configuration, and the truss rod cover is black. The guitar strings are visible, running from the nut to the tuning pegs. The Les Paul Studio model is known for providing the essential Les Paul sound and feel at a more accessible price point by omitting some of the cosmetic embellishments found on higher-end models like the Standard. The Les Paul Standard is a solid body guitar, which contributes to its rich tone and sustain. Gibson guitars, like the Les Paul, often use a nitrocellulose finish, which is more traditional and common on vintage instruments, contributing to their higher price.
