sparquelito Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 (edited) Good morning, fortuneteller. The Murphy Labs Les Pauls feature a body made of Honduran mahogany and a maple cap, mahogany neck, and rosewood fingerboard. The specs you find read like this, generally: Top Wood - 2-Piece Hand-Picked Figured Maple Attached with Hot Hide Glue Body Wood - 1-Piece Lightweight Mahogany Neck Wood - Solid Mahogany Digging deeper; Honduran mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla) is grown and harvested in a variety of locations around the planet. Gibson has set up a global commodity chain that supplies them with 'sustainably certified' Honduran mahogany by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). It is grown in Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala, though the majority of it apparently comes from the plantations on the islands of Fiji. That's all I believe to be true on the matter. 🙂 Edited October 18, 2023 by sparquelito Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Les Paul's are made by Gibson. Made with Honduran Hog maybe. Edited October 18, 2023 by Sgt. Pepper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
