Brian Posted June 21, 2003 Report Share Posted June 21, 2003 Hi tonebucket I'm really not sure if some of the olders one's are, but I bet you could find out more about them in the Les Paul Forum It's chalk full of good information about older LP's As far as the differences in the tone of the woods are concerned I'll see what I can dig up.

Setch Posted June 25, 2003 Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 Sitka spruce is a common wood for accoustic guitar soundboards, but I would consider it pretty soft to use for an electric guitar top. On the otherhand, it is also used for archtop guitars, on which the LP is based, so I suppose stranger things could happen... I wold expect a sitka top to be very mellow compared to maple, though this is pure speculation, not based on any actual experience. Let us know if you find anyhting more out, I for one would be interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
