What different colors did the Les Paul Studio Lite come in?

[Jericho-79]

Hey everyone. I have a really quick question for all you LP fanatics here.

I've heard that the Gibson Les Paul Studio Lite is/was known to be a good lightweight LP. And I think that the Studio Lite was manufactured back in the 90s, and have long been discontinued.

So here's my question-

What colors did the LP Studio Lite come in when they were still being produced?

I've searched the internet, and I could only find these ones in cherry sunburst.

Can any LP historians here help me out?

I used to have a white one, and I've seen a ton of blue ones on this forum.

I have a cherry burst but i've also seen solid red with 3 piece flame top.

I have a transparent blue, there was transparent red, what they called trans-black which was really a root-beer color, trans amber, cherry burst....

Also, vintage sunburst, black, and though I've never seen one LedLover says he had a white one.

Mine's tobacco sunburst. I can't tell any difference between Tobacco and Vintage bursts, but they called it tobacco when I bought it.

Rather than open a new thread with same title... let me add a wrinkle.

Post a pic of your LP Studio Lite. Also, any other info that might be helpful.

Thank you MLP...

Pretty sure there's a link one two.


Our maybe that's only on the custom lites now that I think of it.

Mine is an '88 and it is black. The only other color back then was white, I believe.

It's a sh!t iPhone pic from when I bought it and hadn't yet cleaned or set it up.

McDegga,

What electronics? I have not seen that layout.

It's all original with the stock Mini-humbuckers, three position switch and the coil-tap switch. This is the stock setup for these early Lites. Here is a pic of the control cavity for your viewing pleasure. All original.

I had one on layaway too back in 95, trans blue with black chrome hardware. Then I saw that a brand new 5150 head was only 559 and the guitar was 749.99 I flipped the layaway to the head. Always on the lookout for a trans blue one as well as a 91 ebony studio....

Any others? I am curious to see the transparent red?

Thank you.

Transblue Studio Lite with Rio Grande pickups and chrome hardware (and a plug where a miniswitch used to be, I guess).

In normal light it tends to be much darker, but it really pops in the sun.
