| Les Paul Studio SessionDownload photos: HERE. When a guitar is “the one,” you know it. It feels right in your hands; it delivers the sounds you hear in your head. It’s your faithful companion, musical soulmate, and muse, the tool that lets you express your artistic vision. The Les Paul™ Studio Session is crafted to be a guitarist’s constant, comfortable, and expressive companion. The one guitar you’ll be able to rely on every time and will find yourself reaching for again and again. For years, the Les Paul Studio has been the choice of countless guitarists who appreciate the combination of the essential Les Paul features—humbucking pickups, a glued-in, set neck, and a mahogany body with a maple cap—at an accessible price and without some of the flashier and more costly cosmetic features of higher-end Les Paul Models. The Les Paul Studio Session builds on the long‑respected Studio platform with a lighter, Ultra Modern weight‑relieved mahogany body and a carved AA figured maple cap that adds brightness and definition while preserving the classic Les Paul warmth and punch. A glued‑in mahogany neck with a Slim Taper™ profile and a Modern Contoured Heel enhances sustain and makes upper‑fret access effortless, while the bound ebony fingerboard with a 12” radius and 22 medium‑jumbo frets offers a smooth, versatile playing surface. Premium hardware reinforces stability and tone, including Grover® Rotomatic® tuners with keystone buttons, an aluminum Nashville Tune‑O‑Matic™ bridge, an aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece, and a Graph Tech® nut. Together, they deliver reliable tuning and solid resonance for long sessions or demanding performances. The electronics expand the Studio Session’s versatility far beyond traditional Les Paul configurations. A ’57 Classic neck pickup and ’57 Classic + bridge pickup are paired with a three‑way selector, independent volume and tone controls, and multiple push/pull functions. Coil tapping on both volume controls provides single‑coil clarity, while the tone controls add phase switching when both pickups are active. Pure Bypass mode routes the bridge pickup directly to the output jack for the cleanest, most immediate signal path. These features create a wide palette of tones suited for any genre or playing situation. Arriving in either a striking Cherry or Iguana Burst finish, all these refinements make the Les Paul Studio Session a modern, player‑focused evolution of the Studio line—lightweight, comfortable, sonically flexible, and built to be the guitar you reach for every time. SG Standard ’61 Faded |
 |
A timeless SG for every generation, reimagined for modern playersThe SG™ Standard ’61 Faded revives the defining features that made the early‑60s SG an icon—born in 1961 when Gibson introduced a bold new “solid guitar” design to replace the Les Paul™. Its lightweight mahogany body, sharp double‑cutaway horns, and deeply contoured edges remain instantly recognizable, now paired with a faded nitrocellulose finish that captures the look and feel of a well‑loved vintage instrument. A fast SlimTaper™ mahogany neck and bound rosewood fretboard with 22 medium‑jumbo frets deliver the effortless playability that has made the SG a favorite among lead players for decades. The 12” radius supports smooth chording and clean bends, while the neck joint at the 22nd fret provides full upper‑fret access. True to early SG tradition, it features the smaller 5‑ply teardrop pickguard rather than the later “batwing” style. Nickel hardware includes an ABR‑1 Tune‑O‑Matic™ bridge and aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece for classic tone and reliable performance. Vintage Deluxe tuners with keystone buttons and a Graph Tech® nut ensure stable tuning. At the heart of the guitar is a pair of 60s Burstbucker™ humbuckers with unbalanced coils and Alnico 5 magnets, delivering the open, harmonically rich character of early Patent Applied For designs. They offer vintage warmth with added clarity and a sweet edge when pushed into overdrive—ideal for today’s wide range of genres and gain levels. Individual volume and tone controls with audio‑taper pots and hand‑wired Orange Drop® capacitors provide expressive, musical shaping. With its unmistakable SG voice, comfortable feel, and historically grounded craftsmanship, the SG Standard ’61 Faded brings a classic into the modern era—ready for players who want vintage character with contemporary reliability. A Gibson hardshell case is included for protection at home or on the road. Victory Figured Top |
Unrestrained creativity for today’s players The new Gibson Victory Figured Top revives a cult favorite from the 1980s with refined craftsmanship built for today’s musicians. Now offered in Ebony, Blueberry Fade, Blood Orange Fade, and the newly released Cherry Burst and Cobalt Burst, it retains the spirit of the original while adding sleeker body contours, improved balance, and an Explorer™‑style headstock with a Graph Tech® nut and Grover® Mini Rotomatic® tuners for rock‑solid stability. A 25.5″ scale length, SlimTaper™ mahogany neck, ebony compound‑radius fretboard, and 24 medium‑jumbo frets deliver fast, modern playability. The double‑cut mahogany body and AA figured maple top enhance clarity and presence, paired with a Tune‑O‑Matic™ bridge, Stop Bar tailpiece, and gloss nitrocellulose finish. A pair of 80s Tribute humbuckers™ with push/pull coil‑splitting unlock a wide range of humbucking and single‑coil tones. Blending vintage character with contemporary versatility, the Victory Figured Top is engineered for unrestrained creativity and built for the demands of today’s players. Les Paul Supreme |
| A love Supreme The return of the Les Paul™ Supreme has been met with global excitement, and its latest evolution, a sleek two‑pickup model in opaque Ebony, cements its status as one of Gibson’s standout modern releases. Few guitars carry the historical weight of the Les Paul, and the Supreme pushes that legacy forward with flagship‑level craftsmanship and contemporary performance features. Built with a plain maple top and mahogany body, the new Supreme blends classic Les Paul resonance with a refined modern feel. Its pickguard‑free design highlights the clean lines, while a SlimTaper™ mahogany neck and Modern Contoured Heel give today’s players fast, unhindered access across the fretboard. The ebony fingerboard’s 10”–16” compound radius supports everything from smooth bends to precise rhythm work, complemented by 22 medium‑jumbo frets and striking Super Split Block inlays. A newly revived 1940s‑inspired “Chandelier” mother‑of‑pearl headstock inlay adds a touch of archival elegance. Premium hardware, including locking Grover® tuners, a Graph Tech® nut, and an aluminum Nashville Tune‑O‑Matic™ bridge and Stop Bar, ensures rock‑solid tuning stability and long, singing sustain. Powering the instrument are Burstbucker™ Pro Rhythm and Burstbucker Pro + Lead pickups, paired with push/pull controls for coil tapping, phase switching, and Pure Bypass. The result is a wide sonic palette that suits modern players who need versatility without sacrificing the unmistakable Les Paul voice. Finished in classic Ebony with gold hardware and shipped in a hardshell case, the Les Paul Supreme stands as a top‑tier expression of Gibson design—bold, flexible, and built for musicians who want a no‑compromise instrument that honors its history while thriving in today’s musical landscape. ES Supreme |
 |
| Supreme versatility, elevated elegance The ES™ Supreme has quickly earned global praise, and Gibson now expands the line with a striking two‑pickup model in opaque Ebony. Built on the legacy of the iconic ES‑335—one of Gibson’s most influential and adaptable designs—the ES Supreme reimagines that platform as a true modern flagship, blending cutting‑edge performance with unmistakable visual presence. A 3‑ply maple/poplar/maple body with a solid maple center block delivers enhanced sustain and reliable feedback resistance, supporting today’s high‑gain and high‑volume playing environments. The mahogany neck, carved to a comfortable Rounded C profile, offers smooth playability, while the bound ebony fingerboard’s 10”–16” compound radius and 22 medium‑jumbo frets accommodate both expressive bends and precise chord work. Super Split Block mother‑of‑pearl inlays and gold hardware elevate the instrument’s refined aesthetic. Locking Grover® Rotomatic® tuners, a Graph Tech® nut, and an aluminum Nashville Tune‑O‑Matic™ bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece ensure stable tuning and long‑lasting sustain. A newly revived 1940s‑inspired mother‑of‑pearl headstock inlay adds a distinctive archival touch. Sonically, the ES Supreme expands the ES‑335’s famed versatility with Burstbucker™ Rhythm Pro and Burstbucker Lead Pro + pickups. Push/pull volume controls enable coil‑splitting, while push/pull tone controls unlock additional tonal options, giving modern players a wide palette that moves effortlessly from warm jazz textures to cutting rock tones. Finished in classic Ebony and protected by a Modern Collection hardshell case, the ES Supreme stands as a benchmark of contemporary Gibson craftsmanship—an instrument built for players who want historic character, elevated elegance, and the broad sonic flexibility demanded by today’s musicians. SG Supreme  A new way to play Supreme The return of the SG™ Supreme has made an immediate impact, quickly becoming one of Gibson’s most talked‑about recent introductions. Building on that momentum, Gibson now unveils a new two‑pickup version in a deep, opaque Ebony finish. Long celebrated for its speed, power, and unmistakable silhouette, the SG remains one of Gibson’s most iconic designs—and the SG Supreme elevates it into a true modern flagship. A plain maple top paired with a mahogany body delivers classic SG bite with added clarity, while the pickguard‑free design creates a sleek, contemporary look. The mahogany neck features a fast Slim Taper™ profile and an ebony fretboard with a 10″–16″ compound radius, offering comfort for chords and effortless bends higher up the neck. Twenty‑four medium‑jumbo frets expand the instrument’s range, and Super Split Block mother‑of‑pearl inlays add refined visual detail. A newly developed “Chandelier” headstock inlay—drawn from a 1940s Gibson archive design—adds a distinctive historical touch. Modern hardware ensures reliability for today’s players: locking Grover® tuners with Keystone buttons, a Graph Tech® nut, and an aluminum Nashville Tune‑O‑Matic™ bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece provide excellent tuning stability, precise intonation, and strong sustain. A Burstbucker™ Pro and Burstbucker Pro + pickup set powers the SG Supreme, with push/pull volume controls for coil tapping and individual tone controls for further shaping. This expanded control layout gives players a wide sonic palette—from classic SG aggression to articulate single‑coil‑style clarity. Finished in timeless Ebony with gold hardware and shipped in a hardshell case, the SG Supreme delivers premium tone, modern versatility, and bold visual presence. It’s a no‑compromise instrument built for guitarists who want historic character paired with cutting‑edge performance. |
