However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

The Gibson Les Paul Studio Session is built with Ultra-Modern weight relief, an advanced design that reduces the guitar's overall weight without compromising its renowned tone and sustain. The carefully calculated chambering of the mahogany body not only lightens the load but also enhances the resonance of the instrument. This feature lets you enjoy the legendary Les Paul sound while maintaining comfort - you'll be especially grateful for this feature during long playing sessions. The balanced feel of the guitar prioritises playability without sacrificing quality, offering a unique combination of comfort and tonal richness. This innovative design is a game-changer that'll take stage or studio performances to the next level.
The Les Paul Studio Session is a tonal powerhouse thanks to its '57 Classic and '57 Classic + pickups. These vintage-inspired humbuckers are known for their warm, creamy tones and the ability to deliver the classic Les Paul sound that has inspired generations. However, what sets this guitar apart is its advanced electronic configuration. Each pickup is connected to a push/pull volume control for coil tapping, letting you switch between full humbucker output and a single-coil tone with ease. This adds an entirely new dimension of brightness and clarity to the guitar's sonic range.
The push/pull tone knobs further expand the tonal options by enabling phase switching and Pure Bypass functionality. Phase switching creates a distinctive, out-of-phase sound when both pickups are engaged, making it perfect for funk, blues, and experimental genres. The Pure Bypass feature routes the bridge pickup directly to the output jack, bypassing all controls to deliver the most direct, unfiltered signal possible. This setup gives you the flexibility to achieve a wide variety of tones - it's the key to any genre or playing style, from jazz, metal and everything in between.
One of the standout features of the Gibson Les Paul Studio Session is its exceptional playability. The SlimTaper neck profile is designed for speed and comfort, making it a favourite among players who need a fast, responsive neck for both intricate solos and power chords. The Modern Contoured Heel further enhances the playing experience by providing effortless access to the upper frets. You'll be shredding solos or playing complex chord progressions like never before.
The bound ebony fretboard adds to the guitar's luxurious feel and playability. Ebony is a preferred choice for its smooth surface and ability to deliver crisp attack and clarity. The 12" radius fretboard, coupled with medium jumbo frets, offers a perfect balance between comfort and precision, accommodating a wide range of playing styles. This combination of features ensures that the Les Paul Studio Session not only feels great in your hands but also responds effortlessly to your touch, making it a joy to play.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the Gibson Les Paul Studio Session embodies premium quality and aesthetic beauty. Its AA figured maple cap is a visual standout, with a Honey Burst finish that enhances the natural grain of the wood. This elegant top is paired with single-ply cream binding, giving the guitar a timeless look that blends modern flair with vintage charm. The gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish not only protects the instrument but also allows it to resonate more freely, contributing to its rich tonal characteristics.
High-quality hardware complements the guitar's construction. The aluminium Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece ensure optimal sustain and tuning stability, while the Grover Rotomatic tuners with Keystone buttons provide precise and reliable tuning. A Graph Tech nut further enhances intonation and durability, making this guitar a marvellous musical companion. Every aspect of the Les Paul Studio Session has been designed to meet modern needs while staying true to Gibson's legacy of masterful craftsmanship and innovation.
