    Looks better too!
    I so wish I'd bought that when it was available from the Warmoth website. But as it was, I had only been playing guitar for a few months at the time, so it seemed like it would be a stupid move on my part.

    I wonder if a maple cap over limba would have the same effect as over mahogany (not that you'd wanna hide the limba!).

    Depends how thick the top is. If it's really thin like on a strat body there's not a change of sound. From Warmoth site: "When using only an eighth-inch top, all of the tonal properties of the body will be derived from the base wood, not the top. Therefore, you may have an Alder body that sounds like an Alder body, but appears like a beautiful piece of Quilt Maple."

    If it is a ¾” thick top like on a Les Paul body there is a difference in sound.

    I believe even a little screw affects the sound but the question is if the human ear can hear any difference?

    OOPS! I forgot they have tightened up the forum recently. It was a link to a Korina Soltero with a Maple cap on it. The owner loves it.





    Duncan loaded stock too...
