Re: Please educate me on the LP Studio
I love the Gibson 490R/498T pickups, they have an awesome sound.

Re: Please educate me on the LP Studio
My studio is great, 2006, heavy, a big fat neck, white, and ebony board, just like I prefer. I did play a couple that had some not up to par fret work. But I also played more $1000 guitars that had the same problem. It's just a standard without the binding and standard knobs. That doesn't make any difference to me, purely visual in my opinion. The vintage mahogany are nice too, I just prefer color. The 490/498 pickups are really nice pick ups. I just recently changed mine to Suhr Aldrich but I didn't really HAVE to.

Don't mean to hijack, but what did you put in the Explorer? I been wanting to pull the 500 out of my explorer for the same reasons.

Re: Please educate me on the LP Studio
I have a 59b in the neck.. great creamy blues tone and I have a Custom in the bridge. I recently changed it from a Custom 4 to the Custom for more snarl.. I will change to a Custom8 when I get more A8 magnets..

Re: Please educate me on the LP Studio
Quite honestly if your looking for something more like a '58 RI,
look into one of these.
Tokai LS150.
http://cgi.ebay.com/TOKAI-LS150-MI-...5|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318|301:0|293:1|294:50
or this Bacchus Duke.
http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Bacchus-LP-...dZViewItemQQptZGuitar?_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116
Yes, more expensive than a Studio.
But, not as expensive as a '58 RI.
And much closer in style to a '58 RI. (well, the Tokai is)
