Mahogany neck

[morbid]

My first electric guitar was a cheap copy of a Charvel black/body binding strat with a flat top face. It has a mahogay neck with rosewood fingerboard. I haven't seen a mahogany neck before. How good are they, in comparison with other wood necks, if they are good? [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

Re: Mahogany neck

Mahogany is quite a common wood used for necks. Many acoustic guitars use mahogany, and the SL2H-MAH is mahogany necked, if I remember right. So is the SLSMG and possibly some of the other Soloists.

Re: Mahogany neck

Mahogany is very stable for a neck. It's not as hard as maple, but it's still a good choice (plus, it won't be as bright and will add a little more warmth to the tone compared to maple). Look at most of the Les Pauls out there with mahogany necks. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] My Jackson JJP and Hamer Special are all mahogany, and they sound awesome!!

Re: Mahogany neck

Thanks Number of the priest, cuz you remembered me that I read before about Alvarez acoustic and other acoustics that do have mahogany necks. What I haven't seen before it's mahogany necks, on electric guitars. Remember, newbie things.

I should specify that before somebody start to think that I'm a stupid too. (deja-vu) [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Mahogany neck

PRS's Custom 22/24 & Santana models are a few other well-known guitars with mahogany necks.

Re: Mahogany neck

Oh it's good, my cheapy guitar got at least one thing good. The body it's a crappy plywood one, so I will verify the heel measure to see if I can use on a model 2 body I have. Would it be a good marriage?

Re: Mahogany neck

Depends on the scale lengths/overhang/# of frets. You would have to measure all of it out.
