I'm probably going to buy a Gibson Les Paul Studio (possibly a Robot because the store's having a sale) but that will literally cost all the money I have (I'm still in high school, so I don't have much to spend).
However, next year my grade goes on a trip to Europe which will cost much money.
So my choices are:
A.) Buy the guitar now and work my ass off next summer to pay off the trip
B.) Don't buy the guitar, work up all my money again from scratch, get the guitar much later
C.) Don't go on the trip or buy the guitar, save all my money for an even better guitar (or something)
Thoughts?

The first question would be what kind of amp do you have. There is no point in buying a >$1,000 guitar if you are playing out of a 15W solid state amp. If you have enough money for a Gibson robot there is absolutely no point in saving up more for a different guitar because you can afford a guitar (with a lot of options at that) that will sound and play as well as anyone else can tell, unless you want a really pretty boutique guitar. In fact you can find a great variety of guitars that play as well as a Studio for around half of what you are looking at dropping. You would be able to get a guitar and have about half your trip money left over, so it wouldn't be as much of a problem to save up the rest in time.

I honestly probably wouldn't use the tuning funtion that much, it's just that only the Robots are on sale, so it saves money to get one instead of a regular Studio.
Radical AC: can you give some examples of these lower-priced guitars? I am interested in looking into this.

Okay that sharkfin guitar is yet another entry in the Gibson Parade Of Retarded Instruments, and I have no real use for a 7-string, but damn if this guitar does not give me a chubby:
