Gibson Les Paul Studio DT CS

Gibson Les Paul Studio DT CS review

The Gibson Les Paul Studio DT CS is a United States-made, solid-body electric guitar with a mahogany body, maple top, and set mahogany neck. Its listed finish is Cherry Sunburst in high gloss. The specification sheet places it in Gibson's Les Paul family, with a 629 mm (24.75-inch) scale, two humbucking pickups, and a Tune-O-Matic bridge. It has been available since April 2026, with item number 640754 and a listed price of 1469.

There are no customer reviews available for this model. That means there is no basis here for claims about playing feel, tuning stability in use, sound quality, or factory setup. The assessment below sticks to the supplied specifications and explains what they establish, and what they leave unanswered.

Body, neck, and fingerboard

The mahogany body and maple top are the central materials in the instrument's construction. Gibson also specifies a set mahogany neck, meaning the neck is joined to the body rather than attached with bolts. The fingerboard is rosewood, with acrylic trapezoid inlays. The source lists 22 medium jumbo frets, giving the fingerboard 22 fret positions; it does not provide fret dimensions or details about fret-end finishing.

The neck profile is Slim Taper. That name identifies the stated profile, but it does not supply measurements for neck depth or width at particular frets, so players should not treat it as a precise fit description. The nut width is 42.9 mm (1.69 inches), and the scale length is 629 mm (24.75 inches). These measurements provide useful points of comparison when checking the guitar against another instrument or considering string and setup preferences.

A Graph Tech nut is specified. The listing does not identify its exact material formulation or provide further details about nut slot dimensions. Likewise, the supplied information does not state the fingerboard radius, fret wire dimensions, or factory string gauge. Those omissions matter to buyers comparing playability and setup specifications across models.

Pickups and switching

The pickup arrangement is HH, with two Gibson Burstbucker Pro humbuckers. Both use Double Classic White Bobbins, with one pickup in the neck position and one at the bridge. The controls comprise two volume knobs with push/pull coil-tap functions, two tone knobs, and a three-way toggle switch.

The listed coil-tap function gives the player a way to alter the pickup configuration using the volume controls. The specifications do not describe the exact wiring, output level, or tonal difference produced by the tap, so those details cannot be confirmed from the product data alone. The three-way toggle provides selection among the listed neck and bridge pickups and their combined setting, a conventional layout for a two-pickup guitar.

No electronics specifications are supplied for potentiometer values, capacitor values, or pickup output. Buyers who need those details for compatibility, modification, or sound comparisons will need information beyond this listing. The pickup names and control layout are clear, but they are not a substitute for measured electrical data or a listening test.

Bridge, tuners, and supplied bag

The bridge is an aluminum Tune-O-Matic design, and the listing specifies no tremolo. The guitar therefore has no tremolo unit in the stated hardware configuration. Vintage Deluxe machine heads with Keystone buttons handle tuning, while the remaining hardware is chrome. The supplied specifications do not identify the tailpiece, tuner gear ratio, or bridge adjustment range, so those details should not be assumed.

A gig bag is included, while a hard case is not. That distinction is relevant when planning transport or storage: the supplied bag is part of the package, but the listing does not claim the extra protection of a rigid case. The product is sold as one piece.

What the specifications establish

The published details describe a Les Paul-style instrument with a set mahogany neck, maple top, rosewood fingerboard, two Burstbucker Pro humbuckers, and coil-tap controls. They also give concrete dimensions for scale length and nut width, identify the bridge and tuners, and confirm the included gig bag. Cherry Sunburst high-gloss finish and United States manufacture are stated features.

There is not enough information to judge the instrument's weight, balance, acoustic behavior, setup quality, or tonal character. No customer feedback is available, and no independent measurements or play test are included in the supplied data. At the listed price of 1469, buyers should confirm the current price, warranty, and exact package contents with the seller. For a technical comparison, the strongest verified points are its materials, pickup and control arrangement, dimensions, and hardware configuration.
