dvir Posted May 2, 2010 Author Share Posted May 2, 2010 and anyone can tell me what is the difference between the les paul studio and the standard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yaff Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 and anyone can tell me what is the difference between the les paul studio and the standard Quality of the components and the man hours it takes to manufacture = Looks better + feels better + better tone The differences may be subtle, but they add up. If money is no object, then most would go for the Standard. My Studio is a VM, so delivers a darker tone than my 08 Standard. I think the tone from a Maple Top Studio would be so close to the Standard, it would be difficult to tell the difference. As a said above, it is the combination of many small improvements that makes the Standard the better interment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G McBride Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Play them both and pick the one that sounds best for your needs. I have the Studio and it is a great guitar. I have not played the Epiphone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigKahune Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 I've got a Gibson LP and and Epiphone LP. The Epi looks great, plays just fine, but nowhere near the Gibson in playability or sound. It's simple, Epiphone is Gibson's "B" line - cheaper woods, cheaper electronics and cheaper manufacturing techniques - so they can be sold with a value based price. Go with the Gibson Studio And check out the Silverburst Studio - it comes with coil taps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yaff Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 so you said that the les paul standard is alot better? people told me that the only thing is the binding and the flame top so i tought that the only diference is a visual things and not things that made the guitar sound better. thanks If you pull off er specs from the Gibson sire or reviews: Top Species AA Maple Maple Top and Mahogany Back (premium finish), Maple Top and Mahogany Back (Solid Finish) The Studio has entry level species and they are a bit thinner Binding Antique Cream No binding on the Studio Tailpiece Tone Pros Locking Stop Bar None locking Stop Bar on the Studio Bridge Tone Pros Locking Tune-O-Matic Style Non locking Bridge on the Studio Tuners Locking Grover Keystone Non locking Green tuners on the Studio Neck Pickup Burstbucker Pro Bridge Pickup Burstbucker Pro 490 / 498 on Studio (except the Faded that have Pro`s Bourne gold plated Pots Not the Studio Locking Neutrik Jack Not on Studio - Not that I am a fan of it !! Neck Profile Asymmetrical Studio has 50`s - I like both Headstock Inlay Gibson Logo Studio logo is silkscreen Silkscreen Les Paul Model Plek Setup Note on Studio Its the combination of little improvements that makes the difference, at least on paper. But at the end of the day, its what works for you. I suggest you try them for your self, its the only way you will know for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
