Gibson Les Paul Studio
Aftermarket Price History
Used-market sales only. Brand New listings excluded.
The Les Paul Studio is Gibson's proof that plenty of buyers want the sound and silhouette without paying for every layer of trim. It lives on honest utility, and that means condition, fret life and whether the guitar still feels like a healthy Gibson matter more than prestige cues. A good Studio reads as a smart buy; a rough one reads as a deferred repair bill.
Individual Listings (Used Market)
Used-condition sales and current used listings. Brand New listings excluded.
Market Report
Used examples typically trade between $900 and $1,325; anything under $900 is worth a close look. Prices have been largely flat (+1.7%) vs. 12 months ago. The market is predictable month to month.
This is a liquid market at ~35/month in recent sales — buyers have leverage and can afford to wait for the right example.
Condition has a moderate effect on price (~20% spread from clean to worn). Player-grade examples represent reasonable value.
Related models
The next step up: satin finish and a more stage-ready build — a modest premium for noticeably more guitar.
Lower-priced alternative: slab mahogany body and a single P-90 — simpler and rawer than the Studio.
Alternative format at a similar price: same humbuckers and mahogany construction in Gibson's lighter double-cutaway body.
