Jacobacci Studio
Mahogany, Ebony
The very gibson-esque Jacobacci Studio was the french attempt to revive the Les Paul Standard, which had been replaced by the double-cutaway Gibson SG during the sixties. The first studios came out in 1968. Bad timing… That same year, Les Pauls were re-introduced into Gibson’s catalog.
The guitar is chambered and sports Schaller tuners. Two models exist: Studio 2 and Studio 3, with respectively two or three pickups. It had a few famous aficionados, including Frank Zappa.
