My first “proper” electric guitar – after my Squier Stratocaster starter set – was a Gibson Les Paul Studio. As a youngster reared on a diet of Guns N’ Roses and classic rock groups, the entry-level LP was a dream guitar for me.
It remained my number one guitar until, a few years later, my tastes took a decidedly blues-y turn (largely thanks to John Mayer) and I defected away from the Gibson ranks. As a result, my once-beloved Les Paul Studio has remained largely unplayed for a number of years.
