The Standard is generally Mahogany or Alder, however you can use whatever gets you excited. There are no rules.

Hi,

When it comes to "wings" with a maple neck-thru, I've had very good success with swamp ash, Korina, and mahogany.

Peace,

Dave

Mahogany is nice, that's what I used. Just be aware that the neck-thru wood is going to make up a large percentage of your overal sound. Be careful with your choice of pickups to, a Ceramic bridge p'up in a maple neck-thru can be rather harse (what I used).

as has been said before you are only limited by ur imagination, and the size of ur wallet.

ive had good success with indonesian amoora, i had some sitting around so i used it sounds warm-ish, pretty well rounded

ash is also a good 1 to use, heard many good things bout it
