The Les Paul Studio Faded marks a departure from the traditional carved maple top in favor of a carved mahogany top. Not only does mahogany have a smooth, mellow tone, but the faded finish looks amazing with the mahogany woodgrain showing through. The Les Paul Studio Faded may be the fattest sounding Les Paul ever.
What people don’t understand is that the more finish you put on a guitar the more you inhibit its natural vibration. This is a great Gibson guitar for a decent price. The guitar has a beautiful rustic appearance with real texture. The sound is great.
What makes the Gibson Les Paul Studio Faded different? It boils down to the unbound body and the traditional carved maple top has been replaced by carved mahogany top and finished in a “faded” finish that lends the look of being a well-worn guitar. Could that be all? Sure looks that way. You have a carved mahogany top over a mahogany body, a ’59 rounded neck profile with rosewood fingerboard and two screaming humbuckers.
