When I first started reading this I was with Steve. I too have a great LP Studio that is a really nice guitar and I actually like it better without the binding in that color (Manhattan Midnight Blue). Highly recommended.
But, I looked at Bob's comment and went "What?". I just checked. He's right, of course, the studio 335s do not have individual tone and volume for each pickup. When the Studio 335s came out, I never noticed that. I just thought they skipped the binding, etc and were a pretty good deal (like my LP).
So.... I'm with Bob on this one. Hang in there for the real deal. Look for a good used one if you want to get it now and not wait.
