Owned and heavily utilised the above which supposedly chambered but filled with Chromyte... imo waayyy nicer play than the BFG .
Still miss it !!
The Les Paul Studio Lite, introduced in 1987, added a new attraction to the already popular Studio. A Chromyte center block made it the lightest, most comfortable Les Paul while still retaining traditional solid performance.

``Chromyte'' is Gibson's marketing term for balsa wood. The name is
derived from the taxonomic name for balsa, Ochroma lagopus.
Why would they use a different name? Maybe because of balsa's use in
inexpensive hobby applications. For me at least, it has a sense of
being cheap and flimsy -- even though it's actually a very strong and
somewhat expensive wood.
Quite illogically, even though I know they're the same thing,
``Chromyte'' seems mysterious and desirable. ``Balsa'' feels
commonplace and questionable for use in a guitar. Sometimes names
make all the difference.
