The Double Carve Les Paul has the same specs as a Figured Top R8 Les Paul but the Maple Top is carved on the underside to mirror the top carve creating an acoustic chamber between the Maple Top and the Mahogany Body, the Top and Body are joined in the center of the guitar to support the pickups and tailpiece. The Double Carve has a defined upper end that is more airy and open sounding than a regular R8. The low end is rich and round with a smooth resonant response that is woody and open sounding. Overall tone and attack are between a fully Chambered LP and regular Solid R8.
