In KL, almost impossible for around Rm4k. I remembered there was a Swamp Ash one in Woh Fatt for around Rm5650.
Your best choice is either through Dead Eye, or go down to Singapore yourself and get it.

And no, Bentley doesn't carry Gibsons OR Epiphone.

Here's one to whet your appetite    Dont mind the epiphone.
I saw one sold in Bangkok new for about RM 3800? more or less...but that was last year. If you could get your hands on one..it's really a player and a smooth neck.

I have Gibson Les Paul with the powerful p90's pickup...and Fender Stratocaster American Classic Customshop with texas Special pickups.

Really....after playing the Les Paul...the Fender sounded so thin and...funny! I'm not biased cos I have both...and I'm merely stating a fact...so you Fender die-hards no need to flame me. LOL!

I bought the Les paul from Woh Fatt more than 10 years ago.  That time it was already more than RM3.5k! Bought the Fender from Bentley in 1999 for the same price too.

Is you like Les Paul...go for the p90's. They are amazing. Not blur and dark tone like humbuckers. P90's have garnered great reviews for its super strong 'bite' and 'in your face' mids. It's a very beefy pickup...equally adept with Rock and Roll, metal and Pop.

chester...too lazy to snap photo and upload etc..

Mine is a sunburst color.

u could, but woh fatt are no longer distributors for gibson.
if u really want, can always call sweelee in SG and ask them to...
if u have time, taking a trip down and up etc, u will still save money.

its definitely more troublesome to order from the US.
take a day off, buy bus tickets from 1u (RM115 two way), save money eating in the bus or buying from stalls when the bus driver takes a break in msia. reach singapore, take the mrt and walk to the shop to your guitar, take the bus home. all in 1 day.
total cost? RM115 + mrt ticket cost + some cheap malaysian food

i did that for my PRS paul allender se

uhh, thats cos guitar center has a major share in gibson?
malaysia has no gibson distributor, swee lee singapore handles both sides...so basically guitar store are just a dealer.

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

dont bother wasting ur time and their time.
just call sweelee directly and ask them.
then once u get price from sweelee, u ask guitar store to try to match it

they dont reply emails

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 

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.

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.
