∙ 12y agoEpiphone has really upped it's quality over the last few years. The Epiphone Les Paul Standard is a very good guitar that can get some good tones. However, The Gibson Les Paul Studio will have a generally higher quality of parts, manufacturer's attention to detail, and usually better tone. For stock quality, the Gibson is probably worth the money.
Although, if you do end up getting the Epiphone, it is very easy to upgrade it to a guitar that is as good as a standard Gibson. There are many kinds of aftermarket pickups out there that will drastically improve your tone. Seymour Duncan, Jason Lollar and others provide a $100-$200 upgrade that greatly ups the guitar's sound quality. If you have a pair of these pickups installed professionally, and have your action and intonation setup as well, it will be very difficult to tell the difference between the Epiphone and the Gibson.
Basically though, it all boils down to money. If you can afford to spend it, buy the Gibson and upgrade it. If not, buy the Epiphone and save your money to upgrade it later.

What is the difference between a studio electric guitar and a standard electric guitar?
You are likely to be talking about model designations such as Gibson Les Paul Studio vs. Gibson Les Paul Standard. Those are only names, not guitar breeds that are universally recognized. For example, a Gibson Les Paul Studio usually has fewer cosmetic adornments than a Les Paul Standard -- simpler fretboard inlays, possibly lack of body binding, less refined finishes. The current Les Paul Studios usually come with 490R and 498T humbuckers, while Les Paul Standards usually come with Burstbuckers, which are more expensive and (to my ears) sound better. However, these specs are not universal. The Gibson Les Paul Studio Mahogany, for example, has no maple cap, but are fitted with Burstbuckers. The Gibson Firebird Studio is almost an entirely different guitar from the standard Firebird V. The one definitive difference is price. Gibson uses words such as "Special", "Junior", "Classic" and "Studio" to denote less expensive versions of its flagship models like the SG, Les Paul, Flying V and ES-335. Barring vintage guitars, vintage reissues and custom-shop creations, those models will always be less expensive than their Standard counterparts and, in conjunction, usually have less investment potential. But if you're looking for sound and feel, a Studio is not necessarily going to be inferior to a Standard. Les Paul Customs are more expensive than Les Paul Standards, for example, but Slash from Guns N' Roses/Velvet Revolver has explicitly stated that Standards sound better to him. I personally prefer an SG Classic (a reissue of the '60s SG Special with P-90 pickups) to an SG Standard.
