The 61 SG would be spot on if it had a poker chip.
The SG standard likewise, and I’m glad they’re calling the cheap faded one “Tribute” as that leaves room for a Special with P90s as it should have.
The Les Pauls Trad and Classic are both great, but I don’t understand why they both exist.
The Standard looks good apart from the My Little Pony-burst, but whatever, as long as it still comes in black and gold.
The Junior looks like a great little guitar and I’d be very keen to try one. Again they’re calling it “Tribute” so there’s room to play with the original spec and also leaves room for a “full-fat” Junior DC as loads of us would like to buy. Though I’d sooner see it with a skinny headstock and labelled Melody Maker.
The case is is better than the old one, though i’d really like to see Hiscox quality and construction, which I’ll be surprised if it has.
And the ES275 looks great. I really liked the old one, so a centre-blocked and slightly-thinner version should make for a great little guitar.
No no mention of ES-330s (and almost nothing with P90’s) which is a shame, since I’d actually like to buy one!
From what I know the main ideas behind them are that the Standard is the flagship model.. Its what they tinker with and change all the time to keep up with I guess whatever is popular in the current market...
The Traditional is the 50s inspired basic model which is what a lot of us want and I kind of agree that should be the standard.
The classic is kind of a cross between a 60s inspired guitar with the slim neck profile but with hot 80s type humbuckers.... (which personally I love)...

Well they do like to change the pickups.. But the early ones and the one I got from 2002 have the ceramic twins the 500t and 496r in them... It was only the last few years they changed that which to me didn't make it a classic as I knew them.. This year they are calling the pickups a 61 t and 61r.. No idea what they are but I guess along with the slim neck profile goes with the 60s influence..? But for a long time they had the ceramic ones as stock for a classic.

small guard is only better if the whole body is more the heavily contoured early 60’s style, which is never is
Genius
I like the studio. Bound neck too. The Junior also looks great.
