Well, it seems epiphone has finally released a Les Paul model with the correct woods in place. Mahogany body and neck, rosewood fretboard, plain maple top :D
It seems that it's cheaper than the regular flame-topped epi lp std, going by prices on American websites ($400.vs.$500), as i can't yet find it available in england. Very tempting axe though, and the plain-top on it has a great vintage vibe. 8)

yeh i know epiphone using mahogany is a joke this is their way of saying april fools in the middle of may

edit: i just realized that this isnt the first time that they had used these woods some of their signature models have mahogany body without alder

not neccessary one piece... or anything below 10 for that matter. my sg's neck was supposed to be mahogany too, but its maple.

i've had two epiphones that were quoted as having mahogany necks, but were definately maple. on one hand, not as advertised, on the other, they are actually both quite good little guitars! well, i say little, one's a double neck...
