    Charvel/Jackson mahogany

    Hey guys,

    Is this thing for real?
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/200976026237...84.m1438.l2649

    I`m about to buy it locally here in Montreal, but I don`t seem to find any real information in her regard.
    Would someone please help me take the right decision?

    Cheers

    Yes it's a San Dimas 1 good price too. It is an early one also, they had Jackson neck plates.

      That's not Mahogany, that's Lacewood, FYI.

          I contacted the seller about that, because I thought it might have been lacewood too. He reckons it's mahogany but I'm not 100% convinced. If it is lacewood though, it's very tight figuring - most I've seen are much more obviously not mahogany.

          Worth is what someone will pay, not what you want to get

            You can tell by the tight, almost symmetrical grain pattern. Mahogany isn't as consistently grained like that... do a Google image search for lacewood. Lacewood is awesome though, Id love to have it!

              When I bought this one (gone now) I was told it was lacewood and it turned out to be mahogany

                  Yeah. Looks like Lacewood to me too now. Definitely not mahogany.
                  It`s also quite light.

                  Yep ,dense Lacewood in its glorious splendor.

                  Just got it(for less than the list was) , fiddling a bit with the setup and later I`ll take some pics.

                  Thanks all!

                              Nice grab! I have a koa SD1 and used to have a mahogany, so was tempted to get this one just so I could say I'd had all three LOL
