Re: Alder les Paul
Regardless of the wood used, LP's are a warmer-toned design than Strats for the reasons Zerb mentioned; short neck, short scale, fat body. That's going to do it. With the HB's found in most LP's and the SSS configuration of traditional Stras, the difference between the two EQ's become even more pronounced. Just about any guitar sounds darker than a Strat, hence my disdain for the average Strat player's shrill, piercing tones.

Back in the Eighties, at about the same time as the Corvus and Challenger models, Gibson did offer a budget-priced Les Paul with an Alder body. The top was carved but I cannot recall whether it was two pieces of alder or maple with little or no figure.

Did some of the Epiphones use Alder?

Yes[/QUOTE
Many Epiphones are made out of alder, even if it says mahagony.
My friend has a LP standard which he decided to refinish, when he removed the paint
and came to the bear wood he saw alder and its characteristic grain.

And why exactly do you feel the need to tell me this, since it´s obvious by the question who´s answer you quoted that I already know it? Or Am I minunderstanding why you quoted me?o.0

Re: Alder les Paul
^^ normally no, but traditionally (i.e. for the last 25 years), when you quote someone and type a response it is to be assumed that the statement is a direct answer to /comment on the quoted passage. It merely struck me as odd that somebody would quote me and then proceed to essentially tell me the same I just said.
no more, no less, no harm, no foul. I probably could have worded to come off it a bit less confrontational, though.... :beerchug:
