Sorry, I missed the flemed maple top in the spec... Why have a flamed top if you're not gonna use transparent color... :roll:
Mahogany has sustain and it sings too. I personally just haven't played an all-mahogany with really tight bass...
Remember, there are as many combinations as there are woods, so that's not an easy question. Also, there are probably different tonal qualities between different mahogany types, and even between pieces.
You could always combine a neck with a harder, brighter tone wood, like maple, with body wings of a wood that would warm up the brightness some.
Another luthier told me, when I was asking about maple neck with mahogany wings, that the mahogany wouldn't give me the tight bass I wanted...
Ask the Rek guys what they think, describe the tone you want and they will surely have some suggestions for you.
But if you like mahogany guitars, go for it! I mean, it's not guaranteed you'd like the tone I'm after so I'd feel kind of guilty down-talking mahogany here if that's what you really want. For me, I'd like something different...
All-mahogany LesPauls don't sound very bad either? :lol:
A standard metal axe has a maple neck, with a body of something else.... I think Alder is very common, but some has Basswood, Ash, Mahogany...
The Rek guys has lots of exotic woods, like acajou, sapeli, acacia, sapeli, badi, padouk, hornbeam, merbau.... Well, I don't know what half of them look like...
Also, a ebony fretboard is brighter than rosewood, so there are other things playing a role too besides body wood...
Walnut sounds interesting, but isn't it kinda heavy weighted?
