I think I'll order the tweak-o just for the fun of it. Might like to get into electrical work when it comes to amps/effects/guitars.. Might as well do something while I'm waiting to build my project guitar (I'm waiting to do it untill my Junior year of High School, I'll be a sophomore this year)

unfortunately i'm not to well on money right now, im just kindof researching well ahead of time, ya know? So, Honduran mahogany has smaller pores/is easier to fill?

Yeah African is pretty red, which is why I'm worried about the stain i use. Like i said, i want either a Tobacco or Amber finish (check out the stewmac stains), but i dont know how they would look over the red wood. But now im thinkin the mahogany aint a great idea. I'll be using a few old Teisco pickups, and i finally got to test them out, and theyve got some real bottom end to them, so i need something that'll add a little bit of highs or pinch off the lows a bit.

Well you can order African Mahogany from warmoth, for like $65 USD... I may just stick with a nice ash or alder blank to keep expenses low. I also don't know how the mahogany would look if i stained it with Tobacco colored stain from stewmac, which is my plan.

Well I really don't have any local places to get nice tonewoods, so I've gotta either do the online vendor thing (Warmoth, Stewmac) or the eBay thing. All i can find on eBay right now are Ash blanks, and all Warmoth sells for mahogany is African.. I wish i could find a place that sells Honduran.

I was thinking about making a guitar body from [African] Mahogany... can anyone tell me hard it is to work with?

It depends on where you'd send it. Check at your local guitar shop and see if they have a luthier that could do it for you. I'd personally do it myself.
