It's been said before: pick them both up and play them. Immediate difference you will feel, most likely, is the weight difference (Trad is weight relieved and the Standard is chambered) and then the necks.

 

The 2008 Standard has an asymmetrical neck. Some people like it, some don't. Just like the dif between the 60 Slimline and the 50's rounded. Some like 'em some don't care.

 

Just as important is how it sounds to you.

 

(BTW, if you want to know more about weight relieved and chambered just search this forum for threads esp. in relation to tone and sustain. There will be an unlimited amounted of facts and opinions on that issue.)

 

Good luck and have fun...
