Re: New Gibson Studio you might like
So this "50's Style" - it's short and skinny frets, right? Not jumbos? Fretless wonder type setups?
I heard that they really were a limited run - only 120 or so were made.
What were you expecting the SG Studio to be? A somehow-cheaper SG Special? Cuz you can get an SG Special for like $700.
nah, just different features, though the LP special isnt the same thing as the standard, it does kind of look like it, and the sg special looks like an epiphone compared to the standard.
No, they're 6105 Dunlop frets, no Jumbo but considered "Medium" frets, and by no means "Fretless Wonder" either, they're .0047" tall, so the actual height will be close to the .0045" after being Plek'ed.
As I've said before, I'd grab one in a heartbeat; it's the perfect workhorse for the working musician.

Is it solid mahogany? Or does it have a maple cap? It looks like the lack of maple might account for the price difference, but I didn't go to gibson.com to check.
I think studios are generally all mahogany, but I don't know about these, if they do it's probably just laminate
IMO all mahogany big guitars like these sound better with p90's than humbuckers anyways
