Gibson Les Paul Studio 2026 - Dark Blue

The Gibson Les Paul Studio Dark in Navy Blue takes the classic Studio blueprint and gives it a stealthy, modern edge. Built from a mahogany body with Ultra Modern weight relief and a carved maple top, it delivers that unmistakable Les Paul power while feeling noticeably lighter on the shoulder. The ebony fretboard adds a slick, fast-playing surface, contrasted by Dark Pearloid trapezoid inlays that match the satin-finished black hardware for a bold, moody aesthetic. Featuring a '57 Classic in the neck and a Super '57 in the bridge, the Studio Dark offers warm, full-bodied tones with vintage character and plenty of bite.
 
Thanks to push/pull coil-splitting, you're able to jump between thick humbucker growl and bright single-coil clarity with ease, adding a surprising level of flexibility for studio sessions and live work. The Slim Taper neck keeps everything fast and comfortable, while the Grover Rotomatic tuners and aluminium Tune-O-Matic/Stopbar hardware ensure rock-solid tuning stability. Finished in a deep Navy Blue and supplied with a Gibson soft shell case, strap and accessory kit, this Studio Dark model is built for players who want a no-nonsense Les Paul with striking looks and serious tonal muscle.
