Studios are pretty cool. Generally, earlier is better. Gibson has been cutting costs and adding "weight reliefs" in newer models.
Its not a "weight relief" its actually something added to improve resonance and sound, the bodies in the new studio models are chambered, and it makes a world of difference to the sound. Actually learn about it before knocking it like its a bad thing.
