Gibson USA Les Paul Studio Session AA Top - Translucent Ebony Burst
Pickup available at Interstellar Guitars
Usually ready in 24 hours
The Interstellar Tone Traveler's mission never stops — and when the search demands a guitar that pairs serious performance with truly futuristic tone control, the coordinates point to the Gibson Les Paul Studio Session AA Top in Translucent Ebony Burst. Built on an Ultra Modern weight-relieved mahogany body crowned with a stunning AA figured maple top in gloss nitrocellulose, this 8lb 6oz instrument is as comfortable on a three-hour gig as it is in a late-night studio session. The Translucent Ebony Burst finish looks like it was pulled from the edge of a supernova — a guitar that rewards every stage light that finds it. A Slim Taper mahogany neck with a modern Contoured Heel flows into a cream-bound ebony fingerboard with acrylic trapezoid inlays, delivering fast, fluid playability across all 24.75" of its scale at a comfortable 12" radius.
At its sonic core, a 57 Classic Plus in the bridge and a 57 Classic in the neck deliver that unmistakable vintage PAF voice — warm, articulate, and harmonically rich. But what truly sets this vessel apart is its onboard control system: push/pull volume pots for coil tapping, and push/pull tone pots for phase switching and pure bypass, all wired into a 3-way toggle. That's four distinct tonal dimensions available at any moment, opening up a sonic universe that stretches far beyond what a standard Les Paul can chart. An Aluminum Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge, Aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece, and Grover Rotomatic tuners with Keystone buttons keep every mission locked in tight. For players ready to explore every corner of their tone — this is the ship.
