Re: History of the Les Paul Studio
Cheaper factory farmed Mohog has a higher mineral content due to chemicals and fertilizers that are added to the tree while it is growing. Older growth wood grew over a much more protracted period of time without the fertilizers and is much lighter, rarer, and more expensive.
That being said though, I own a 2001 Studio Plus that is heavily chambered and it is a great Les Paul...I actually bought it because it's chambered, and I can stand for a four gig with it without popping Advil. In the grand scheme of things, chamered Vs non, dosen't matter one iota in terms of the overall sound of my band...literally not one!
