Mad, how did you buff your tribute to get that shine?
Here's mine. Les Paul Studio Vintage Mahogany:
(I had this plain truss rod cover on for a while, now I've gone back to the 'studio' cover)

Here's a 2007 Les Paul Studio:
It weighs in at 7lbs 6oz and has a very sweet sound. I broke my long-standing rule about buying without trying and bought it used off eBay. When it arrived the clear coat was pretty badly flogged and damaged by sweat. There were actually fabric prints in the finish. I was able to buff out all of that and the guitar looks and plays marvelously.

I have two 90's Studios and I love them, one has an ebony board and the other has rosewood. The 490R / 498T pickup combination is as good as anything Gibson fit to Standards.
I don't like the snobbery surrounding these quality workhorse axes; if you believe everything you read, the Studio is lighter and thinner than a standard, has dot position markers and lower quality hardware and pickups.... Well mine have none of these features, they are Standards without binding, end of chat!
