Yes indeed, the actual pen body is just the holder for the important bits, the nib and feed.
I stand to be corrected on this but I believe that the nib on the studio is the same as on the Safari and as such is a breeze to replace and cheap to boot!
Double check with the place you got it from but if this is so then just buy a fine or extra fine nib (in these parts they run to $11 but as per usual I am sure they are cheaper in the states!). The easiest way to take them off is to apply a piece of scotch tape to the nib ( I would recommend clearing the ink out first though this can be done on the fly!) and gently pull, the nib comes off very easily, then, making sure to line the new nib up correctly (very easy) just gently push it into place.
This is a Godsend and a wonderful feature of these pens as it allows you to play around with nibs!
Hope that helps.
Oh yes, this is one of the few fountain pens that allow this, most require specialist tools!
