Mahogany strat

[logo33]

Hello all--

I am thinking of several ideas for a first build, and the one that stick most in my brain parts is a chambered mahogany strat with a quilt maple top (sort of like a les paul in a strat body). Just wanted to check in with people who know more than me, and ask if there are any problems with this. Along with the body, it would have a mahogany neck with rosewood fretboard. Thank you!!!

I built that exact guitar and it is a tone monster.

I think you will love it.

I built this one with matching Indian rosewood fretboard and lam top, kicks ass.

My Tele and Soloist are both mahogany bodied. The Tele is chambered. Mahogany is a great body wood, works well as a neck wood for a warm, full tone.

Works fine for mine.

Mahogwood is good!

+1 Fatter , fuller tonewood bodies make great Strats that are more versatile, you don't lose much warmth surprisingly with a Maple neck in this combo either.

My first warmoth is a solid mahogany bodied strat with maple/ebony and it has a very well balanced tone.

Steve - do you with the solid Mahogany / Maple Neck Strat type  have a deeper fatter Strat that does the EJ/Gilmour thing with much less outboard stuff, the guitar kind of WANTS to go there?

I have a Carvin Maple/Ebony- Koa Body factory Bolt which is unusually loud unplugged very fat but still does lots of fatter Strat tones very well-with some spank in single coil modes- it's a heavy weight body.
