Here are the basics of the current ones:
Standard: AAA flame maple body cap with deep dish carve, two-piece mahogany body back, ultra-modern weight relief, one-piece mahogany neck with assymetrical slim/medium neck carve, compound radius fingerboard, bound body, bound neck with binding "nibs" over fret ends, gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, locking tuners, Burstbucker Pro pickups, four push-pull knobs offer pickup splits, blower switch, and out of phase pickups plus internal multi-way switch, chrome hardware, hard case.

Studio differences: lower grade woods, thinner maple cap with flatter carve, no binding on body, bound slim taper neck, 12" radius fingerboard, push-pulls on volume knobs for coil taps, 490R and 498T pickups, Grover rotomatic tuners.

There are also Studio Tribute versions with matte finishes and soft cases.

My review of the 2018 Standard is HERE.
