The 2019 Gibson Les Paul Studio in Ebony (black) is a solidbody electric guitar that often features a combination of classic Les Paul tone with a stripped-down, no-binding aesthetic, though some 2019 iterations differed. The 2019 model is generally characterized by a mahogany body, maple top, rosewood fingerboard, and coil-split capable pickups
