I have wanted one for quite sometime now but I have not been able to afford on untill recently. I am trapped between waiting for a les paul standard or classic or buying a les paul studio, as below. Thoughts? I dont want to purchase a les paul studio only to want a les paul standard because the studio does not meet my expectations. Should I wait and just buy a more expensive Gibson or are the studios good? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

But I've played quite a few studios, and for the price they're great Good playability, good sound and good looking You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Tone and build quality are unmatched for that much money... I have a Gibson Les Paul Standard but I bought mine used for a lot less money, so you might consider buying a used guitar. Also try to play the guitar before you buy it (especially on the standards) because Les Pauls tend to sound quite diffrent to each other...

A sunburst / honeyburst / darkburst etc. standard is a wet dream You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

If you like the studio get it, but if you like the standard better, get that. Be patient, and don't ever buy something you don't want to.
