Great video guys. I remember the balsa wood being used in some of the 94 models. I made a ton of Studios and Classics back in 93 - 94. I always heard from players though it dulled the sustain. Idk. What do you think?
I never "gig-tested" one of the Studio or Custom Lites, but I did get to gig-test a protoype Les Paul that had an insane figured Redwood top. It was stunning, but the wood was so soft that it killed the attack. The beginning of each note had no snap to it. it was like a rubber band. I can see how balsa wood would have had a similar effect.
The Gibson factory on the Nashville 99 Show. Do you remember this? Any shot-up LPs?? ;-) ua-cam.com/video/c_AuBP5vxn4/v-deo.htmlsi=2UscB1_rxVVaHsgy&t=312

Studio body is the same thickness
They absolutely are thinner. Tributes also had thinner backs.
