I am planning my next (2nd) build and am trying to decide on a neck wood. I dont know weather to go with mahogany or maple. The body will be a 2" mahogany dbl cut carved top string through, with a strat type neck (looking at Warmoth necks). I am looking for somthing warm and fat sounding when played clean. I would think the neck would contribute more to tone then the body, but I dont know being a newbie. I will probably go with rosewood for a finger board, allthough I am considering ebony on a mahogany neck. I will be using a pearly gates pup in the neck and probably a Bill Lawrence L500XL for the bridge. I would think mahogany would be preaty weak on a thin strat type neck. Its allso more expensive. How much does the finger board contribute to tone? Seeing how this is a chat board it would be great to get some opinions going from some seasoned vets. I have read the links about tone woods but they are only general and dont cover the different combinations of wood( body, neck, fingerboard). Thanks, Dave
