My opinion and experience is not "rubbish". Do a search and you will find this same sentiment all over the web. You just like to try to kick me down constantly, guess what, it ain't working.

I was simply pointing out that you are posting incorrect and misinformation again.

Your statement on what the Studio is was factually incorrect. Your statement that a maple cap increases sustain is factually incorrect and impossible..

You are a hack VP and until you learn to learn you will remain one. We have got to enjoy mocking you though as that is the only way left to us to demonstrate to casual members that they should not believe anything you say.

The more you post the more this becomes self evident. Carry on...

Do you see where I said "typically". Every one I have ever seen were all mahogany.

Then look at some more before you post wrong information. Jeez you were picked on it in minutes by people that admitted they were far from expert... You are a hack and a liar. Keep posting and more people will have a chance to witness that.... Carry on..

Here are links for all to see and decide for themselves. Having many guitars myself, mostly Gibsons, I have definitely found this to be true.

Nice Googlin'

I always said you were a good googler. Kind of a trolling google, a troogle.

I wasn't the only one here who said they were all mahogany. You are just a belligerent, troublemaker who has to try to keep me down. Are you that insecure and threatened that you have to resort to your mean-spirited tactics to try to puff up your own feathers. Please tell us again why body powder is bad for fretboards. Oh and thanks for the "Powder" thread bump, it will give a whole new light on how ridiculous your 5 year old witch-hunt has become. https://homerecording.com/bbs/equip...other-one-muttley-light-279682/8/#post4163250

Answer the question... How does a les paul maple cap increase sustain?

One of the links in that dumb google search you posted talks about the maple cap on Les Paul Studios.... Too funny....:laughings:

Again, I never said they didn't have maple caps, I said "typically" they are all "mahogany". Do you know the ratio of all mahogany to maple caps?

Sure thing... here you go..https://homerecording.com/bbs/equipment-forums/guitars-basses/another-one-muttley-light-279682/

Now answer the question. How does a maple cap increase sustain...?

Yes. The production figures for each type and model are available.

Increased mass produces less acoustic energy loss, therefore the string maintains more of its energy and will vibrate longer. Basically the more mass a body has the less acoustic energy is lost as sound, think steel guitar. The less mass it has the more acoustic sound is taken from the string reducing sustain, think acoustic guitar. I have found this to be true with all my guitars, my SG is loud acoustically but has less sustain than my LPs which are quiet acoustically but have more sustain. The difference is though that this observation is when there is no loud amplification. When there is loud amplification sustain can be induced due to feedback, like when an acoustic howls uncontrollably. I have noticed that even though the LP has a consistent long sustain over the SG, the SG will actually sustain more when feedback from a full stack keeps the notes singing. I have been studying and observing these findings for many years and I feel it represents a very accurate description of the subject.
 
^he's been googlin' again


lol
Thumbs up Dry as a bone!
I stopped putting anything on my fretboards and strings a long time ago. They only thing I do to my neck, with the strings attached, is frequently bathe the entire length in shower to shower powder. I rub it with a clean dry cotton cloth. It is pure bliss! My action is silky smooth fast with no oily, greasy, string dulling residue. It absorbs all acid, salt, grease, beer, or any other funk. Since I have been doing this my strings do not tarnish and last a long time. Any thing you put on your strings, even a damp cloth, gets inside the windings and clogs and corrodes them. I have studied this effect for years and I am convinced. Try wiping your strings with any king of liquid and they will be dull after. I dont think fretboards need anything but to be polished by your fingers.

Let me stop you there and say Bollocks. Here is my next question..?

How does Increased mass produce less energy?
Does maple have increased mass?
Compared to what?
What are the mechanical and physical properties related to attack delay relationships in sound waves in timber?
How is this measured?
What is the common expression for phenomena of those measured results?
What other factors influence the attack delay relationship of sound waves in timber?
Describe the modulus that is associated with those expressions?
Show your workings?

Don't forget I teach this shit to people who want to learn...


You have no clue about musical acoustics. You have demonstrated this before.

Not quite. You know, just because you can type any old stuff about someone you don't even know on the internet, does not make them true. You know nothing about me. You just try to paint some ugly picture created in your own pathetic imagination.

I go off of the information you provide. If you're not an idiot, then stop acting like one, and you'll probably stop being treated like one. Simple! :)
