WHy? The studio has the T500 pickups, better sound than the Vintage's "Burstbucker" pickups. The studio features Schaller tuners , which are better than the Vintage's stock Gibson tuners (first thing i did with stock Les Pauls is replace the tuners). Also , the Studio neck shape specifies as "N/A" (which means it's the current LP neck) , while the Vintage has an older type neck (more rounded), and unless you are used to older vintage style neck , they are sometimes more uncomfortable to play. With the Studio you get a good hard case - Vintage gets you a "gig bag" - not the best protection. Both have Mahogany bodies - the vintage having a mahogany top as well, but that's mostly a cosmetic feature at that point. Bottom line - go play them both , and listen to and feel them both , and that will actually give you more insight. I’d say the “Studio”. WHy?

Isn't the studio something like $1,649? I’d get the GLP studio seeing as it’s my dream guitar…I just have to save up for it. Isn’t the studio something like $1,649?

And one has a 59 neck. I would try them both out and if you can't and are getting them online I would get the Vintage one looks like there are subtle differences in the bridge and pickups and that is about it- and a case with the studio.

Both being Gibson Les Paul designs, they're both gonna be good......but that mahogany body will beat a 'non fan' off your stage and not miss a beat. The point on the headstock of an Ibenez is good for this, too. Ok, a little off point.....either one will bring you much joy! Yea, tough decision……..but in the end I’d go with the Mahogany.
