Do you know if mid 90s LP Studios have sound chambers and where they are?

[msplines]

I was just interested to know if the LP Studio I have has sound chambers and, if so, where they are situated ? (yep, it's an old one ('96, I think) and nope, I wouldn't buy a new one now - see other posts).
I dimly remember a thread a while ago, but I don't remember the studios being mentioned.
Ta lots.

I am pretty certain a mid 90s LP Studio will have weight relief holes under the maple cap, intended to reduce the weight rather than act as sound chambers. Here are a couple of recent threads (with pics) on that subject:

A difference in the weight relief holes and the "tone chambers." The weight relief holes are only there to relieve the weight of the heavier mahogany. They are too small to affect tone in any sort of noticable way. Unless you un-topped the guitar or x-rayed it, you would never know the difference. The tone chambers are large cavities (larger than the control cavity) that are designed to give you a semi-semi-hollowbody type tone.

Well, I read all the posts and was amazed at the erm, length of them.
Thanks for the info. I now believe that my studyo has some 'oles in it - blast - there goes my plan to slice into it for the tummycut and forearm relief bevel - better luck next time!
Thanks again.
