I wanted a Les Paul Gibson and was looking at the 60s Standard. I then became aware of the Studio, which has the same neck and pickups but is much cheaper. It's lighter and doesn't have the cosmetic binding or hard case that comes with 60s Standard.
The Burstbucker pickups sound amazing and the neck plays like a dream. The finish is very high quality, as is the soft case it comes in. I've had for a couple of months now and play it every day. I can't hear any difference between this and 60s Standard, absolutely love it. One of Gibsons best value guitars in my opinion.
