I had a MIK LE 2001, which allegedely had a solid two piece Sycamore top. Sounded like a Les Paul. However, it did sound far more restrained and had a bit less bite than my LS 200. But then again the differences between the 2001 and the LS-200 are fairly great so... :roll: As was previously stated, Sycamore is part of the Maple family and is in high supply in Asia.
