I don't know why but the Standard into a Plexi is like THAT classic rock tone and the Studio into a JCM 800 is THAT hard rock tone. I don't know why. Marshall hasn't come out with anything real good in so long. It's a shame, really.
That might be the difference in pups you are noticing. The USA Standard & Studio are the same guitar, just different refinements w/respect to pups & eye candy (binding/finish/etc.). Both guitars will sound great through both amps.

What color Studio do you have?
