Gibson Les Paul Studio, Ebony: Featherweight 7 lb 4 oz, Gibson-Certified Demo

If you want a Les Paul you can play all night without wrecking your shoulder, this is it. It weighs 7 lb 4 oz on my scale (Gibson listed it at 7.2 lb). Most Studios come in between 8 and 8.5 lb, so this one is close to a pound lighter than usual, and you feel the difference after the first set.

This is a genuine Gibson demo unit. I bought it from the Gibson Demo Shop on Reverb in March 2025, and it comes with full factory documentation. Gibson Repair & Restoration inspected it on January 28, 2025 and rated it 4/5 (Good). The serial on the COA (230340239) matches the headstock.

Condition, per Gibson’s inspection report: light specks and mild scratches on the bass side of the body, a small ding on the bass-side lower bout, mild scratches on the treble-side lower bout, a finish inconsistency next to the toggle switch, and pickguard scratches. A DEMO stamp is on the back of the headstock. It’s all cosmetic. The electronics and switching work perfectly.
