The studio Les Paul wasn't designed for stage performance so it's appearance is what suffers. It won't have that nice, carved top that a regular Les Paul does, it won't have a fancy finish on it, and it won't have fancy fretboard inlays like the regular Les Paul's. The quality of the wood is somewhat degraded, as well. This is due to the fact that it won't have a transparent finish applied to it, so nobody will see the grain. The detrimental effect that all of these will have on the overall sound of the guitar is negligible, at best.
The Etilist's are made in Japan with slightly higher quality materials and build, thus more expensive. I think they also have USA made pickups.
The normal Epiphone Les Paul standard is made in china or korea or something like that with slightly lesser materials and quality.
The differance between these two amazing instruments is the specs for example the custom has gold hardware and the standard has nickel or whatever they use. im not which standard model your looking at because there is the standard, standard plain-top, standard plus-top, the 1959 standard, and the tribute standard but honestly when it comes down to it go into a music store and try out both and hear how they sound and feel thats what i did when i got my Gibson Les Paul Traditional but thats not the point plus see which one fits your budget, because your budget affects the quality of what you buy anyway good luck kiddo
That really depends on the year, condition, and any modifications made on the guitar. You could just look at the retail price differences between the two to proxy the value a little bit, but an older guitar in really good condition with all original parts will be worth a lot more. The serial number, located on the back of the headstock, is a good thing to look up for any used guitar as it will tell you where it was made and when. That data should point you in the right direction.
I think the most important thing, however, is that Guitars aren't really something that should be bought for their resale values unless you are a serious guitar collector. Buy the guitar that "fits" you the best. Play a lot of them. When you find the one meant for you you'll know. It will feel right, sound right, look right and inspire you to play something you may not have played before.
les paul customs have custom paint job and therfore cost more than the standard
les paul juniors are much much much more simplified, usually with only one pickup and the body is much cheaper and it is a little smaller i believe
their difference is their plated ligature>.<

You'll be luck to get anyone to part with £10 for one. Old cheap copies are worthless.
The Epiphone Wildkat guitar can be customized to any colour that the customer requests. These guitars are custom made to order, making each guitar unique to the owner.
Well, for one there super cheap. Secondly, they tend to play about as good as a Gibson, compairing the Standard Gibson with the Epiphone, and thirdly, they sound good with pretty much any amp, they can be used for almost any type of music, and are quite a bit lighter, weight wise, than a gibson. From a personal standpoint, I have a couple guitars, and one of them is the Epiphone Les Paul Special II, Another is the Dean Vendetta Camo, I play them on a Line6 spider III, and the Epiphone has more tone for metal, the epiphone has more tone for solos, the epiphone sounds better on the clean channel, (but only when play rythm) and it looks alot better than the Dean, now I know there are some differences between the two, but I do preffer the Epiphone over the Dean, however to be fair, I will say this, the Dean has a MUCH faster neck than the Epiphone, and the Dean's all (even the cheapest, most crapy playing) have 24 fretts to Epiphone's (all that I know of) 22 frets. I am going to turn the Dean guitar in for Epiphone Standard Les Paul, but first I will change the pickups in the epiphone for Gibsons, just for Giggles. And I'll update when I do.
