Thanks for the responses. The only reason I was asking was because I had the opportunity to pick up a Epi Les Paul Standard made in 2000 and I was wondering about the alder situation. I actually ended up picking up 2 new Epi's today though. I got the 2000 MIK Standard and a 2005 MIK Custom with Seymour Duncan Alnico Pro II's. This makes Epi's number 5 and 6 for me. It is joining an Epi Goth Les Paul, Goth SG, PR-200 acoustic, and a Les Paul Standard.

I know during this time they were being listed as Mahogany/Alder bodies. My question is is the body more Alder or Mahogany? I have heard they were mostly Alder with a layer of mahogany over. Anybody with any real experience that can chime in? Any help would be appreciated.
