I built a chambered LP clone a while back with flamed Spanish cedar over mahogany   It is almost an exact twin to my other LP clone - same pups and all except it is maple cap and not chambered. There is a slight but noticeable difference in sound, there is a huge difference in weight. |

Looks great, Freeman! How did you rout that out? jig, and then keep stepping down? |
