I can tune mine, set it in the case and pull it out after a week and is still basically in tune. Once the strings are "broken in" some, my LP stays in tune very well.
Yes Exactly. From the Gibson website

A Whole Lotta Les!
The new Les Paul Standard returns to the classic design that made it relevant, played and loved -- shaping sound across generations and genres of music. It pays tribute to Gibson's Golden Era of innovation and brings authenticity...
It's the standard. It's timeless. It's road tested. It's versatile. It's beautiful. Easy to get a good sound.
The LP has been my go to guitar since the first time I picked one up. Something about the feel of it. I have played other guitars and own other guitars but nothing feels like...
Well, that's subjective. I hate coil tapping, hate weight relieved LP's, prefer the pickups in the standard and, would never be satisfied with less than a standard. Everyone has their own opinion, just like the one you have. To each his/her own

I would never be happy with less than a standard. All LP models are nice. Just personal preference. To ME, when Gibson came back out with non weight relief and no gimmicks like coil tapping (which I hate), it was a no brainer. I would say go with the Standard but only you can make that call...
Don't mind uncovered pickups but to me, anything less than a Standard, I would regret. My 60's Bourbon Burst is a great guitar and I don't have any shoulda coulda woulda thoughts. . Hotter pickups, slimmer neck and the top color made it an easy choice over the 50's. Not to mention, finally a...
