Trying to sort out some questions I have about a prospective 2019 Les Paul studio in wine red WITH neck binding. I checked the serial number and it comes up as a 2019 but of all the studios I’ve looked at none have the neck binding. Was there a 2019 with the binding on the neck?

There was a run of these but not sure what year. If it says 2019 that's the answer.

Stunningly beautiful guitars. A guitar like that would go great with a glass of wine when I am playing. I used to drink a lot of beer before, but something clicked in me, and I decided to switch to wine. I guess things like that happen as you grow older.
I still enjoy an occasional beer, but it's not like wine. I go to great lengths to find reasonable wine offers, so I don't have to spend hundreds of dollars for a nice bottle of wine.
You start realizing the difference between good and bad wine when you start drinking it more. It's funny how any wine is good when you start drinking it, but that changes fast.

Early 2019 (1st half) ish had the neck binding. The change came when the JC era of Gibson began mid 2019 and they scrapped the neck binding.

i too have a 2019 studio w/ white neck binding, yet the plastics was black. a terrible looking mismatch. i changed all the plastic to white, now all is right with the universe & looks better too.

If possible I would like to see the picture of this as I have the binding on my 2019

Yes, 2019 with white binding, black plastics as noted above.

Also: Slim Taper, aluminum Nashville and stop, Chrome, Grover rotomatic/kidney, 490R/498T combo, push-pull coil tapping, Tektoid nut, 'low' frets that were "Cryogenically Treated"...

Official color name was BBQ Burst. Should appear reddish, lighter than Oxblood, darker and browner than Wine. [The other color was Tangerine Burst...]

I just acquired a Tangerine burst with neck binding. Very nice guitar. The headstock has the SN and below is stamped very faintly "Made in USA 2019 Model." Ive never seen that before.

Happened ~2008 thru mid-2019 for most USA models, then going forward serial numbering scheme changed and year dropped.
