Hails hurley, with no offense but, then you may have a bad mahogany, or a fake mahogany wood.. or either they said to you that it´s mahogany, but it´s not. it can happens.
are you sure it´s mahogany? any pics of the wood?
i had a Jackson JS-1 made in indonesia or malasya, and i liked very much the wood.
although it was deffective i guess. i swaped several(5) pickups in the bridge and it continuously giving me one Middy/bass sound.
although i could perceive the tonal/vibrations nuances of all 5 pickups , the sound that was being spitted through the speakers, are the same.
so i traded the guitar. ahahahahah

Is it one of the models with a maple neck-thru-body? In that case a lot of the tone would come from the maple, so it could end up very bright despite all the mahogany.

For what it's worth, I have a Miracle Man bridge in a Gibson Les Paul Studio with the following wood:

Body: Mahogany
Neck: Mahogany
Fingerboard: Ebony

...and it rules. When the volume is on 10 it rules for metal, on 7 it's great for classic rock/blues. In the middle position it mates extremely well with a Cold Sweat neck.

I think that's the current version of the M-II (previously they used alder),
