Gibson Studio 2025 or 97?

Hey!

I'm looking into getting my first Les Paul!

I've always liked the 'Studio' model, so thats what I'm going for.

I can buy a brand new for 1600euro/1800 dollars, OR a used from 97 (ebony neck) with a hardcase for

1500 dollars/1300 euro.

I played the Les Paul from 97, and I really liked it. But... is it too old? Or?

Thanks in advance!
