1 question, how is the quality of Gibson LP Studio in comparison to Epi LP Custom?

just call sweelee directly and ask them.

they dont reply emails

Then , Can I have their Number please ?

www.sweelee.com.sg
somewhere in there.

RM5000++ wow... U could save the extra and make the trip down/up instead lol. But I guess everyone needs to make some money in the process esp. at times like this.
Btw Gibson studios (Fireburst, Alpine White, Wine) are discontinued. Only the worn cherry/brown and ebony is in production. Ever considered those as well?

You have to be weary that there are 2 different pickups for the worn studios/vm. I believe the newer ones are now equipped with BurstbuckerPros whilst some are the 490R & 498T.
Just double check your specs when you order.

whichever you will definitely enjoy it esp. pairing with a tube amp ----> adding more poison

Are you sure the rests of Worn Studio & Ebony are Discontinued ? But anyway , The Les Paul studio I want is Vintage Mahogany (Worn Brown) . Ya, I've heard from someone else there are two types of different pickups equipped on Les Paul Studio Vintage Mahogany -Either The BurstBucker Pro or 498R,498T... By the way . the official Gibson.com states only 498R,498T in the Specs of Les Paul studio Vintage Mahogany .

Do you HAVE to get a Gibson?
I mean, I tried many Gibson Studios in Guitar Center in the US (when I was also in my Gibson = Good, Epi = SuX0rs stage), and I still find the Korean made Epiphone Customs a better match to my playing style. The Zakk Wylde Epi Custom was a much better Les Paul compared to 3 Studios I tried in the US with a smoother neck, tone and sustain...... of course, the EMG-HZ helped as well A quick upgrade to Active EMGs (like what I did) and the Les Paul really did come to life. Sure, the graphics isn't for everyone, but it's still a better guitar in my book.

But if you REALLY want a Gibson, the BFG is also a very good guitar at around the same price range. The P-90 in the Neck really does make quite a bit of difference and the whole guitar's sound itself stands out better then the Studio in my opinion.

Ya , I;ve tried out Gibson Les Paul BFG as well .. .the only thing I don't like is the Pickup selector in lower postiton rather than at the normal les paul position.. They rewired it as a Toggle Kill Switch.. I don't really like that.. And Seriously I prefer P90 at bridge and Burstbucker at Neck...

Again, personal preference......
I'm a Kill Switch abuser as well...... On my Les Pauls, it's always Neck Volume off, and then flick between that and my Bridge pickup quickly for a tremolo effect. I'm very sure a good technician can easily rewire it the other way round for you.

The BFG was very tempting for me, but I figured my Zakk Wylde LP is already heavy enough (in tone and in weight) so I don't need another one like that.

Also, I want to stress out, this is to MY personal preference. I'm sure you find your reasons for an LP Studio, and I totally respect that. Say what you want, it's still a Gibson Les Paul.

But I find that for the Studios especially, you really have to test it yourself and get the feel for it before making your purchase. Which is why I strongly recommend NOT ordering it online and just spend sometime traveling to get that perfect guitar.

Alright , Thank you very much for the advice . But the Problem is , If I order it through The Guitar Store or Woh Fatt , I still have to pay the deposit before I can feel it on my hands... that's really bad they don't stock a series of Gibson Les Pauls.

guitar amp

chester, bestbet is to try before you buy .. remember all guitars are unique.

if ur really keen, i could try asking my bro, he works in a music shop.
