                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Interestingly enough, I have been shopping for Standard's lately and the other day a shop guy showed me this cross sectioned one they have in shop. It's a normal Standard but has no finish and no pickups so you can see through the whole body (the point of it is to be able to easily try different pickups in the guitar).<br><br>He told me the main difference to the Studio was that the Standard has a thick arched maple top whereas the studio doesn't (as Nexion pointed out). I guess that is what gives the Standard that awesome solid tone that the Studios lack in comparison.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I am positive they were all Studios, set necks was all I was interested in so the 100 and special II were not being looked through. First I thought that there was a mis tagged guitar, but all headstocks read Studio..The feature differewnces in the model line up I was aware of and based on that had narrowed the search to Studios and Standards, since $00 was my limit right now. I actually wound up with a wine red standard that was a resale for $295 and looks like it never left the store, and a used valve jr to go with it for $109. Thanks for all the replies]]></content:encoded>
