Mahogany makes a great neck wood. Gibson uses it on a lot of their guitars. It's a really nice wood to work with, carves easily. The classic Les Paul tone is a mahogany body with male cap and mahogany neck. SG's are all mahogany, and the Explorers and V's are limba (korina), which is very much like mahogany in weight and tone.

BigM555 Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Slightly OT but if someone gave you enough mahogany for 4 bodies and necks you should be thanking them enthusiastically. I bought enough Mahogany for a bit more than one body and it was almost $80. You scored big if it was gratis! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You scored big if it was gratis! what does OT mean he got it a cuple years back when the company he works for had to get rid of it becaus someon who worked there got sick becaus of it and sued them . so they had to get rid of the mahogony. ive defenetly got lots of people to thank my ( only)electric guitar is a yamaha pacifica and it was given to me for free!by a very nice guy. and my parents gave me $50 to help buy my amp (not to mintion providing food and a house) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westhemann Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 The author of that book is a member here,so I doubt all of this talk of free (illegal) distribution of his book will amuse him. http://projectguitar.ibforums.com/index.php?showtopic=29161 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
