Members JoshuaLogan Posted February 23, 2007 Members Share Posted February 23, 2007 Does anyone make neck-through guitars with mahogany necks? Just curious... I don't think I've ever seen one.... most usually use maple/wenge/walnut/etc... the harder woods... Anyone know of any? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members drixll Posted February 23, 2007 Members Share Posted February 23, 2007 this jackson has a mah body, but you're not going to find too many mah-necks. http://www.stevesmusiccenter.com/JacksonSL2H-MAH.html of course, there's always the custom shop... http://www.jacksonguitars.com/resources/custshoparchives/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a specific reason most don't use mahogany for neckthroughs though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's got a maple neck with mahogany wings. I think the mahogany wings probably don't change the tone very much... Maybe just SLIGHTLY darker than the ones with alder ones... the main part of the guitar is still the maple area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JoshuaLogan Posted February 23, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 23, 2007 see, guys. this is my thinking. I like the construction of neck-throughs, but most use maple and that makes for really bright sounding guitars... which I'm not a fan of for heavy music or really guitars with humbuckers in general.... (bright guitars w/ single coils = good, see tele in sig ) I think a mahogany neck through would be pretty cool... and maybe if the tone was slightly too dark you could use mahogany with maple tops for the wings, or maybe just use alder or basswood or something for the wings? could also use an ebony fretboard to help brighten things up a little, but still keep that deep mahogany chunk...

Members JoshuaLogan Posted February 23, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 23, 2007 pretty sure schecter does you sure? I don't think so... they have setneck ones but i don't think neck through. I think the neck throughs have maple necks. the one I had did anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JBecker Posted February 23, 2007 Members Share Posted February 23, 2007 I think harder woods are probably used due to their stability. There are plenty of set-neck mahogany guitars, so the real question is, do set neck mahogany guitars sound much warmer to you in the way that you'd like? You owned a vintage LP with the straight mahogany body and such so, did taking the maple cap off of a guitar make it warmer in the way you like? I just don't know that the neck being neck-through and mahogany will make a HUGE difference in the warmth of the guitar. In my experience, finger board actually had more of a tone effect, but I may be the only one who thinks that way (and the guitars I'm comparing are different body woods-- swamp ash vs. poplar).

Members Wolfeman28 Posted February 23, 2007 Members Share Posted February 23, 2007 My Ibanez MMM1 is a neck thru mahogany. It does have a 1/4" piece of purple wood down the middle of the neck, but the bulk of it is mahogany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Phishmonkey Posted February 23, 2007 Members Share Posted February 23, 2007 Get a Carvin, better than schecter and cheaper than Jackson Custom shop. Personally, I would get a koa carvin. Just as warm as mahogany but prettier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JoshuaLogan Posted February 23, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 23, 2007 http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b365/gunslinger1970/ looks like a maple neck to me... unless the color of it is just REALLY light mahogany? mahogany is usually dark brown, eh?

Members starsnuffer Posted February 23, 2007 Members Share Posted February 23, 2007 A set-neck mahogany guitar is going to be warmer then a neck-thru all mahogany guitar. Neck-thru guitars are brighter period. -W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
