Re: Body Wood Question you will have a hell of a time finding an rg to get the "les paul" tone. those are truly different guitars. the rg's with mahogany bodies will come close as they are fatter more midrange spongy guitars. ibanez's artist series are as close as you will find to a les paul. i use the arc300 for my les paul tones as well as an sz520. both loaded with duncans. a jazz and jb, alnico 2 pro and jb respectively. they give me an identical les paul tone out of an ibanez. but the specs are very close to a les paul as well. the arc300 being the closest. now, the ar300 is ibanez's truest les paul alternative(according to them), but i actually prefer the arc300 as it is a single cut. it has a better bridge/tailpiece combo for tone transfer as well, but only your preference will determine which is better for you. rich |

Here is a list of woods from brighter to darker: Maple Ash Alder Basswood Mahogany I'm not a expert on woods, so if the pros out there that need to correct me, then please do so. Cheers and play on. |

Sorry for the ignorance, do you mean a mahogany body with a maple neck or maple fretboard? Or both maple neck and fretboard? Or maple neck with say, a rosewood fretboard.
Thanks for any clairification. |

Re: Body Wood Question Thanks for the response. Does anybody know of a non "topped" wood. That would come close tonally? Like mahogany, alder or basswood alone? |

Re: Body Wood Question The MIJ 520QS may come close. It is a mahagony body with a quilted sappele top. I used to own one, and it sounded great. |
