So many things come into play... Depending on what year the standard was made, what kind of wood, what kind of pickups, etc... Comparisons like these dont hold much weight. However, both of these guitars sound great. Love my gibsons.
why does it seem like most people that have a gibson always play the same blusey sound from the 70s-80s. Not saying it's bad but it just seems like most people on here do so. Marty friedman is one of the few who makes it sound heavy as all hell. Bad DNA FTW.
the fact is you can't really tell without picking up both guitars yourself. the video sound quality doesn't do justice. but the sustain is noticeable.
@goredeathrot Companies are borderline on lying cause they say a maple cap or a mahogany body makes a difference but they don't say its just acoustic vibrations and pickups don't resonate with non magnetic materials. It's a magnet, wood isn't magnetic. Electric tone is magnetic matterials only cause that's the only vibrations they can sense. Learn how a pickup works and the physics of sound properties.
@PPPatrickWWW You forget the factors that make that happen. String gauge/materia pickup height and pole piece height, pickup, nut and fret material, acoustically wood is totally your tone but plug it in and it's no difference.
the people who say the only difference is the paint jobs and a hardly differnt pups are ignorant and need to work with guitars or least play the studio and the standard, i work at a guitar shop and i sell both guitars and many others, i have both guitars too, the studio in alpine white and burst on my standard, there is a HUGE quality difference between the two. there is a MAJOR pick up difference. people who like studios like them because they have a studio and not a standard. not saying all do
@goredeathrot well. steel strings can worn out bone frets very easily because of too much friction. bones were only used as a nut because there's just a very small amount of friction there.

I'd like to see adam and jammie (mythbusters) do an experiment on this. that would be awesome and everyone will be enlightened.
I want to say standards are made by a little better piece of wood but you can hardly notice it as well as having bindings. You get a better sound with the burstbuckers for cleans, blues, and low-mid gain compared to the studios T498. The T498s sound great with upper gain and can compete with the burstbuckers to a degree. The standard is king but you can't go wrong with a studio. The best analogy I can think of is the standard being a 9.5+/10 girl and the studio being a 8.5+/10 girl lol
@z1y2z3z2 Wood makes no difference with tone. Magnetic pickups are not influenced by wood at all so it makes no difference with wood grades for electric guitars. The only better wood a standard has is the flamed or quilted Maple top.
Wood makes no difference with tone? Try to tell that to any guitar builder ever.. And if that is so then why do the same pickups sound different in different guitars? I'm not trying to be rude (really) but I'm telling you that wood DOES make a difference in tone.
everyone on here prefers the studio!?! don't get me wrong, i'm saving to buy a studio, but only because it's cheaper. if i had the money, standard all the way!
@gibsonshredder86 Since 2007 Gibson is producing only chambered body Les Pauls... except for the Traditional LP. Of course you can play clean and classic rock, it is extremely versatile. But if you really want that specific golden-age rock you should go for a Gibson LP Classic (these are discontinued, but you can find one for sure on Ebay) Non-chambered Les Pauls in my opinion sound much more darker (are great also) and are perfect for botom-end contemporary metal.
@breakingbank1997 Been playong for a while and i choose the Studio by far. :x perfect guitar, do not have to pay for a Standard these days cuz their price is just not worth it anymore.
Did that guy just put a fender over the Lester with sustain? Holy cheese balls! If they got more them suckers gotta hold Tina all day cause mine is amazing!
The pickups in the studios have a slightly higher output than the standards.they are deliberately made that way with high output tone capacitors...,being aimed originally at recording artists who wanted tone quality rather decoration.the only real difference between the standard and studio apart from the cosmetics is an inherant sharper top end with the studio due to the higher output.I have both models and prefer the slightly warmer standard.
great DEMO my man -:) but the wood on an electric guitar dose not do anything for the tone man, people use the term it resonates better, but it just doesn't, the pickups are only affected by metal objects, mainly the string's and bridge, that;s why less paul's have crap sustain, the bridges on them are so flimsy, unlike a tele which have more to rub against, and the big block on a tele gives it that sustain, unlike a les paul which has nothing solid at the bridge.
@UKToneKing whoa.... are you serious? both les pauls and telecasters have solid bridge. On a LP it's a tune-o-matic which is one of the best in the world,also an original LP has 17 degrees back angled headstock that improves sustain and is set-neck. I used to think that wood is not affecting the tone of the guitar too. BIG MISTAKE. There's a huge difference between guitars that are made of different types of wood material... even the wood from the fingerboard has a significant role also. Cheers!
@sndgarden I actually took it a step further around a year ago, I pulled my bridge tele pup out, & placed it on a les paul studio, & I kid U not, it had a very simular tone to the tele, it was not identical, due to the bridge being different I think, but it sounded just like my tele. I don't feel personally that different wood changes the tone on electrics, I like rosewood over maple, only because it feels faster to play for me, maple seems 2 get sticky, but tone wise I would say they the same.
@UKToneKing True, true, I as well hate how maple looks once is dirty....
I'm not a Fender fan I must admit, but from what I know telecasters have strings trough body bridge mechanism + bridge is a bit larger. I wonder how did u manage to mount a tele's bridge on a LP without drilling holes or destroying the LP body? OMG!
@sndgarden I did have to dril holes, but it was not a standard, it was a studio, and it was dropping to bits, my friend had been using it as a test bed for pickups over the years,
in all fairness the higher ranged les paul studio vs the standard doesn't have many sound differences, either way getting a studio or standard, you've got yourself an awesome guitar
The ONLY difference between studio and standard is the LOOK! Standards are better and more expensive produced then the studios, sound and fingerboard are the same !
gibson guitars are just the best. i have a lp studio and i just love the guitar. it makes me feel like a famous musician already. jajaja. any way buy a gibson. that's it.
I just think that both guitars are great, but you have to decide wich one suits best your budget and your sound expectations. I agree that Gibsons are very expensive, but one thing you gotta have in mind, they are the best in their range! When it comes to blues, jazz and rock, it's the best. My opinion. Nice comparisson by the way, cheers.
the difference in sound could be because of the covers on the pickups of the studio... try taking them off (only a few dabs of solder holding them in place on the bottom of the pickup) and see what happens. the covers change the magnetic field of the pickups, causing them to be a little quieter and smoother
I actually didn't there would be any difference worth chatin about but the standard sounds way better (in my opinion) I guess you get what you pay for
@RockGuitarDave The Standard is only more expensive due to the flamed top, mother of pearl inlays (studio has acyclic inlays) , and binding work around the body and fingerboard. Though current standards don't even have M.O.P inlays anymore, just on the headstock.
if ima change the pickups to emg's (for metal obviously), shouldnt i just go with the studio....in not to crazy about looks, like the binding on the standard, cuz ima wear the paint away anyway from so much use
I would have to agree with david.. I got the mahogany satin white with the ebony fret board and I love it, basically on a standard your paying for cosmetics, I am going to change the bridge pickup thought and put the slash alnico 2 pro humbucker in since I play a lot of G&R and Alice in chains...
In my opinion the white Les Paul Studios are better then the standards because I love the Ebony fingerboards and prefer 490 series pickups, the finishes on the standards are cooler though, and binding is nice.
Whatever makes you happy,however big is your wallet.Both sound nice.For me the STD is the sound I like thats why I have one.. I have to agree with jb1563700
i bought me a studio (faded)..and she sounds great...I used to use ESP's...for our band...in fact I still do on certain songs...but with the studio I have more sustain and more umph, so to speak....now I need a Marshall stack..my Ibanez stack does the job for now.
To be honest, i don't think theirs enough difference in SOUND to justify the extra cost of the standard. And as as far as the extra "Bling" (cosmetic additives) they also don't really justify the extra cost. I love the standards, but personally, studio's all the way!
i think when it comes down to it, if your going to buy a les paul you should save your money and go for the traditionals or standards. or even custom shop. it's the rich history of gibson that you're really paying for. i wouldn't personally spend 1500 bucks on a studio les paul though there are much better sounding guitars for the price. but i think owning a les paul should be special and not third rate :3
ok guys in honest opinion i have 2k to spend on a music setup i wana get a marshall hlf stack thts about 600bux...should i gett the standard les paul or the studio? the only differance i can tell is looks can anyone give me a heads up on wwhich i should buy?
@TheChickenChronicles a marshall half stack for 600$ id say its not tube if its not then check out a blackstar all tube class A witch is made by former employees of marshall my freinds got 1 kicks ass and gibson sg doesnt have the sustain of a les paul but still rocks hard and you will have a set up that you won't want to change for years
@farqg1 so an all tube amp? is there a diffence in non tube and tube...ive played guitar for about 5 years but ive had a basic squier n i needa upgrade lol
@TheChickenChronicles the difference is in the sound my freind tube amps a warmer and have better sound and also a 5watt tube amp is louder the a 50watt solidstate but i advice to do some reaserch depinding what sort of sound your going for check out youtube videos play as many amps and guitars untill you find the 1 that suits your style and your wallet because 2k is alot of money to regret later. so take your time and if not sure ask an expert to help
@TheChickenChronicles If i was you I would go to a real music store (not on-line) and sit down and play as many Les Paul's as you can. Each of them sound and feel different from each other. Don't be pressured into buying something you don't like.
@juca2929 just put standard pickups in my studio, my friend who owns a standard couldn't tell a difference when i was playing his and mine... you can tell a very small difference when playing clean but with drive, it sounds the same, i know the standard is beefyer but its not worth the extra 1000
You should however make the nuance between early non-chambered studios and the recent studio with chambering. The old studio sound very very very similar to standards. (Which is obvious, since they use the exact same woods and component, except for the bindings and finish)
@jb1563700 thats bullshit , the pickups are hardly different, the main differences are cosmetic and you are basically paying more for a better paintjob.
´both guitars are great and nearly have the same tone and proccessing, i would buy the studio in red with gold--hardware and than you will have a great gibson les paul made in usa guitar which is not much different with the standard sry, my english
´both guitars are great and nearly have the same tone and proccessing, i would buy the studio in red with gold--hardware and than you will have a great gibson les paul made in usa guitar which is not much different with the standard
tenho uma epiphone studio, mas estou a prepararme para uma fender strato.
alem da estrutura e dos pickups, ha grande diferença no som? ja reparei qe uma sg, comparada a qualquer das duas, tem um som mais metálico, mas estou intrigado na stratocaster...
@pmvtl1 Olá :) Sim há uma grande diferença, aliás, muitas diferenças :) Vamos por assim as coisas, uma Les paul nunca vai soar como uma strat e vice-versa, entendes? A sg é apenas outra gibson mas mais agressiva.
pelo que ja me disseram, a strat tem assim um som que é distinguivel, mais suave e unico do que uma les paul (especialmente epiphone). mas recomendas uma fender strat que vi numa loja local (americana, standard, deluxe special edition, 2010 issue, branca) a 1200€? estou a juntar dinheiro...
Let me correct myself. The standards usually come with same pickups but as of now the newer standards have burstbucker pros. But the majority of standards you will find have the same PUPS as the studio.
You aren't using the original Les Paul Standard pickups. You can't make a good comparison. The only sound difference between these two is because of the different pick ups. The standards come with same pick ups of the studio.
@ooglesnorp no they don't anymore, i think it's been a while (2 or 3 years) since they started fitting the stds with bb pros instead of the 490r 498t combo.
Sorry to burst your bubble buddy but this is not a fair comparison. Because the studio has covered pickups whereas the standard in this case does not. this completely changes the tone of both instruments. You are comparing apples to oranges. But for the record i think both of these guitars are kick ass. I would have to say that I would most likely buy the studio though because it is just as good at a better value. If you want a better standard go for one from before gibson started chambering.
I find it interesting that you say the Les Paul Standard is lighter. aren't they usually heavier than Studio's? what year is that one and how much does it weigh?
@cranie4 yes but look at the standard it got open coils mostley the have the sudio has coverd coils when the coils are open they have a "hotter" sound than the closed
@stephen0093 These are two gibsons. Not a gibson and an epiphone. Epiphones are made from cheaper materials and do not have the strenuous quality control that gibson does. My point is if these two guitars had the same pickups, the difference in sound would be because of the actual guitar. The standard has hotter pickups, this is why it has a brighter, sharper sound than the studio. I never said one would sound better than the other, I was just pointing out why they sounded so different.
@SkullcandyFan2010 Bollocks mate, a faded finish just basically says its an older guitar, which means the wood is more mature etc thats what gives the better sound
@SaulHudsonGibson hey saul, cool name, i was wondering if its a good idea to buy the studio and to swap the pickups for alnico 2 pros, to get that slashy tone, for a fair price, what do you think?
@PiercingTruth Mate, I'm not slash i just have this user name, But yeah about the studio, the are great guitars, i considered getting over my traditional. The pick ups are fine for a slash sort of tone though, its quite a warm feeling guitar. Just get yourself a nice marshall to go with it mate and you'll be sorted :)
@SaulHudsonGibson thanks, i wrote that before going to the store, and now im back with a les paul studio fire burst, and alnico 2 pros, ill wait before installing them tho, i wanna enjoy her real natural sound before
@SaulHudsonGibson If you strip all the finish off, you get more sustain and its alot louder acoustically. Nitro finishes maintain the most tone out of all coatings. Satin finish comes second but it has a smother feel. And then there's poly.
@SkullcandyFan2010 Technically, Faded is just a fancy word of can't be bothered to completely coat it. Its cheaper because there are less coats and less labour. It has a more resonant sound because of the single coat but it'll deteriorate rather than age like the proper multi-coat.
@SkullcandyFan2010 I bought a Gibson Les Paul Standard 2008 in Silverburst finish via Ebay for 1850 $. Perfect condition. A new Studio (not faded) costs 1799 $.
First off the windingsheet has a very good head on his shoulders, Second My Gibson Les Paul studio rocks & gets the job done so I'm good:)

i think when it comes down to it, if your going to buy a les paul you should save your money and go for the traditionals or standards. or even custom shop. it's the rich history of gibson that you're really paying for. i wouldn't personally spend 1500 bucks on a studio les paul though there are much better sounding guitars for the price. but i think owning a les paul should be special and not third rate :3

ok guys in honest opinion i have 2k to spend on a music setup i wana get a marshall hlf stack thts about 600bux...should i gett the standard les paul or the studio? the only differance i can tell is looks can anyone give me a heads up on wwhich i should buy?
TheChickenChronicles 10 months ago
@TheChickenChronicles a marshall half stack for 600$ id say its not tube if its not then check out a blackstar all tube class A witch is made by former employees of marshall my freinds got 1 kicks ass and gibson sg doesnt have the sustain of a les paul but still rocks hard and you will have a set up that you won't want to change for years

@farqg1 so an all tube amp? is there a diffence in non tube and tube...ive played guitar for about 5 years but ive had a basic squier n i needa upgrade lol
TheChickenChronicles 10 months ago
@TheChickenChronicles the difference is in the sound my freind tube amps a warmer and have better sound and also a 5watt tube amp is louder the a 50watt solidstate but i advice to do some reaserch depinding what sort of sound your going for check out youtube videos play as many amps and guitars untill you find the 1 that suits your style and your wallet because 2k is alot of money to regret later. so take your time and if not sure ask an expert to help

@TheChickenChronicles If i was you I would go to a real music store (not on-line) and sit down and play as many Les Paul's as you can. Each of them sound and feel different from each other. Don't be pressured into buying something you don't like.

Those pickups in the Standard are way above those in the Studio. Like deamondriver said... swap the pickups and there's barely a difference.

@jb1563700 Hi, in this case that's not correct. The chamber body sounds really different, but very good :)
The studio would never breed as much as the standard.

@juca2929 just put standard pickups in my studio, my friend who owns a standard couldn't tell a difference when i was playing his and mine... you can tell a very small difference when playing clean but with drive, it sounds the same, i know the standard is beefyer but its not worth the extra 1000

@juca2929
You should however make the nuance between early non-chambered studios and the recent studio with chambering. The old studio sound very very very similar to standards. (Which is obvious, since they use the exact same woods and component, except for the bindings and finish)

pelo sotaque percebi logo que era portugues :)
tenho uma epiphone studio, mas estou a prepararme para uma fender strato.
alem da estrutura e dos pickups, ha grande diferença no som? ja reparei qe uma sg, comparada a qualquer das duas, tem um som mais metálico, mas estou intrigado na stratocaster...
pmvtl1 11 months ago
@pmvtl1 Olá :) Sim há uma grande diferença, aliás, muitas diferenças :) Vamos por assim as coisas, uma Les paul nunca vai soar como uma strat e vice-versa, entendes? A sg é apenas outra gibson mas mais agressiva.
Abraço
juca2929 11 months ago
@juca2929
hmmm sim, entendo :)
pelo que ja me disseram, a strat tem assim um som que é distinguivel, mais suave e unico do que uma les paul (especialmente epiphone). mas recomendas uma fender strat que vi numa loja local (americana, standard, deluxe special edition, 2010 issue, branca) a 1200€? estou a juntar dinheiro...
obrigado, abraço :)

Let me correct myself. The standards usually come with same pickups but as of now the newer standards have burstbucker pros. But the majority of standards you will find have the same PUPS as the studio.
ooglesnorp 1 year ago
You aren't using the original Les Paul Standard pickups. You can't make a good comparison. The only sound difference between these two is because of the different pick ups. The standards come with same pick ups of the studio.
ooglesnorp 1 year ago
@ooglesnorp no they don't anymore, i think it's been a while (2 or 3 years) since they started fitting the stds with bb pros instead of the 490r 498t combo.

Sorry to burst your bubble buddy but this is not a fair comparison. Because the studio has covered pickups whereas the standard in this case does not. this completely changes the tone of both instruments. You are comparing apples to oranges. But for the record i think both of these guitars are kick ass. I would have to say that I would most likely buy the studio though because it is just as good at a better value. If you want a better standard go for one from before gibson started chambering.

@clayto1332 u obviously no nothing about guitars. if u put crappy pups on a lp custom and good ones on a epiphone lp which will sound better?
stephen0093 1 year ago
@stephen0093 These are two gibsons. Not a gibson and an epiphone. Epiphones are made from cheaper materials and do not have the strenuous quality control that gibson does. My point is if these two guitars had the same pickups, the difference in sound would be because of the actual guitar. The standard has hotter pickups, this is why it has a brighter, sharper sound than the studio. I never said one would sound better than the other, I was just pointing out why they sounded so different.

@SkullcandyFan2010 Bollocks mate, a faded finish just basically says its an older guitar, which means the wood is more mature etc thats what gives the better sound

@SaulHudsonGibson hey saul, cool name, i was wondering if its a good idea to buy the studio and to swap the pickups for alnico 2 pros, to get that slashy tone, for a fair price, what do you think?
PiercingTruth 1 year ago
@PiercingTruth Mate, I'm not slash i just have this user name, But yeah about the studio, the are great guitars, i considered getting over my traditional. The pick ups are fine for a slash sort of tone though, its quite a warm feeling guitar. Just get yourself a nice marshall to go with it mate and you'll be sorted :)
SaulHudsonGibson 1 year ago
@SaulHudsonGibson thanks, i wrote that before going to the store, and now im back with a les paul studio fire burst, and alnico 2 pros, ill wait before installing them tho, i wanna enjoy her real natural sound before
PiercingTruth 1 year ago
@SaulHudsonGibson If you strip all the finish off, you get more sustain and its alot louder acoustically. Nitro finishes maintain the most tone out of all coatings. Satin finish comes second but it has a smother feel. And then there's poly.
omgomglame 1 year ago
@SkullcandyFan2010 Technically, Faded is just a fancy word of can't be bothered to completely coat it. Its cheaper because there are less coats and less labour. It has a more resonant sound because of the single coat but it'll deteriorate rather than age like the proper multi-coat.
