So, a friend just gave me this guitar! I'm still stunned. I know it's just a studio, but to me it's also two other things: a Gibson and a Les Paul. Two things I've never owned. Anyway, I'm super thankful for it and I'm definitely going to build him something cool as a thank-you.

Niiiice. I have an Epiphone LP Studio and I love the thing. Looks don't matter in the end, its all about the tone  8)

Some "just a Studio" LPs can be fantastic.  I mean, you'll miss the sound of the binding, but oh well.  :-)

Congrats.  That's a very cool gesture from a cool friend.

Awesome man. I'm starting to become a Gibson convert myself, although the LP is probably my least favorite guitar, haha. Riff on, bro.

Actually I like the more stripped down look! The aesthetic is more SG-like. Really cool.

Maybe a 335 is in your future?

Don't forget the "trapezoid tone" factor.

Best color, even if it's not a telecaster :P

I'm really liking it and I like that it's gloss. I'm seriously tempted to put a rally stripe on it.

And, it gets better! I pulled the strings off to clean it up and restring it and realized it's not solid red but trans, which let me see that this one has a maple cap! I was expecting it to be solid mahogany. I'm pretty excited about it.

Traps remove too much fretboard material, which gives it a more hollow sound.

Great score! I'm actually quite fond of the no frills LP look. Enjoy it.

There is definitely a 335 in my future when someone gives me one  ;D
