I am a young aspiring guitarist who has been playing for many years, however, I am not by any means wealthy. I was thinking of getting a job over the summer so I could buy a Les Paul. My question is what is the difference between the Standard and the Studio, besides the slight difference in the pickups? One of my friends said that the Standard is heavier which gives it a nicer tone but they didn't feel like either one was heavier than the other when I played it at the store.
