  1. I love the sound of Les Pauls but my heart lies with RG's. I wanted to make essentially a Les Paul in disguise, but I can't do any fret work or get a snug fit with the neck tenon. So I thought If I could get a mahogany neck through from Carvin, that would be great, So can I get a mahogany neck through from carvin? Or just maple?

    That isn't the theoretical question.

    I thought I heard somewhere that the wings on a neck through only add 10% of the sound of the guitar while the neck and "heart" wood make up the other 90% (neck and heart being the same piece of wood and all) I also think I heard that The maple cap on a Les Paul adds about 10% as well. So IN THEORY, a Mahogany neck through with hard maple wings would sound at least remotely similar to a Les paul. Am I correct in this theory?
