Re: Would you trade a USA Strat for a Gibson Les Paul Studio
Used studios and Fender American Standards both go in the $600 to $800 range. Without regards to which one you should prefer (I like both), I think it is a decent deal. Assuming it is clean and stock, they are actually usually a little more pricey than a similar vintage Fender American Standard. Deluxes usually go used in the $800 to $1000 range these days.
The short of it is it is a fine deal, and fair.
