to gibson lp standard users:
why do you spend more for the standard if the studio can give you the same tone with a just a few modifications (pickup, tone pot and hardware upgrades?). based on my research, the studio is exactly like the standard, wala lang bling factor. do the higher end flame/plus tops and binding contribute to the tone?
pwede rin naman sa looks, pero yun lang ba yung factor? are there other factors that make the standard more special than the studio? how about the wood used (better quality ba?). hmmm...
