Why no Les Paul Studio love on the forum?

Schtang · May 30, 2013

My very 1st Gibson Les Paul was a 1996 Studio Gem (which are the only studios I have played). They are a fine guitar. I have bought & sold many Les Pauls over those years but I still have this Gem (17 years latter). The only things gone on the guitar are the tone pods (which I used constantly).

Very nice.

I really like my new old Studio ... a Standard would look awkward with this setup ... so let there be Studio

Nice, what did you use to polish it?

When I bought it it was completely wrecked ... stickers and sweat had dulled almost the complete lacquer. So I stripped a couple of clear coats, reapplied 2 new layers and polished it with the polishing stuff from StewMac and my Bosch power tool. Last round of polishing was done by hand and Virtuoso premium polish.
