Product Description

The arrival of the Gibson Les Paul Studio Electric Guitar in 1983 offered guitarists all the essential elements of a Les Paul Standard, including a carved top and humbucking pickups. Its simple yet elegant design quickly helped it become the most popular model in the Les Paul Series. Cutting-yet-rich tone—the hallmark of the Les Paul—pours out of the 490R and 498T Alnico II magnet humbucker pickups, which are mounted on a carved maple top with a mahogany back. The Les Paul Studio Electric Guitar includes a Gibson hardshell case and a limited lifetime warranty.

Review
I Am the Blues Lead Guitarist, hosted by Oscar Jordan, provides an opportunity for all you burgeoning lead players to blow your pentatonic wad all over the place. The surprisingly robust DVD features eight different tracks in a variety of different styles to jam along to (slo blues, shuffle, rockin blues and even a bit of a Latin groove), and each track is available in both a traditional song form and as a looped version if you feel like playing until your fingers bleed. The band itself is tight, with Oscar and company laying down rock solid grooves to play over. For players using the DVD to improve their ensemble skills, they’ll appreciate the use of visual cues to signal changes in the track, and much like band practice, you’ll improve with each repetition. It really beats a computerized backing track any day. There s also a raft of extra features on the disc… the concept of the DVD is a novel and useful one. Now you don’t need to convince your friends t (more…)
