I utterly assure you that you cannot tell the difference between the two and the differences you can hear are self imposed.
Here's the deal, If person "A" bought the Slash Les Paul and person "B" bought the Standard yet installed the S.D. pickups in it I guarantee you wouldn't know the difference from the same player.
If I bought a nitro finished Gibson for $2300 and played against my £$160 Epiphone I guarantee you wouldn't be able to spot it in a "Pepsi" type test because the simple truth is that tone comes from the player not from the clear coat on his guitar.

People need to wake up and realise that just because they spend a large amount of money on a guitar it doesn't make them a great player.

To quote from BBC's Top Gear " Any idiot can shell out £160,000 for a super car. It doesn't mean they are a car enthusiast, it just means they've got a lot of spare money."

+1, well said....
