Soo I saw that the pawn shop had a 2003 Gibson Les Paul Studio in Ebony (black finish, rosewood board). It was in decent condition - some wear around the input jack and in need of a good cleaning, but otherwise good! It was a full fledged Studio, not one of the Vintage Mahogany or Faded versions. It came with a clean Gibson USA case that I think is non-original but nicer than the one it would have come with (pink interior with the little shroud thingy).
It was tagged at $850 and it had just come out to the floor earlier that day. With it being so new they weren't going to move much but I got it for $830, tax included. It's a half pound lighter than the LP Classic I got there last year. I'm only going to keep one of the two and I'm leaning towards the Studio after spending time with both last night. I like the way the Classic looks more (binding), but the Studio feels better. To my surprise I actually like the 490R/498T pickups that are in the Studio. They get shit on online but to me they sound as good as the Burstbucker 1/2 set I put into the Classic.
Anyways that's all... here's a quick picture...
