I really want to build a copy of the Dave Murray signature fender Stratocaster but with some up grades of my own.
First is a standard thin neck with the compound radius,Jumbo SS frets, Dual humbuckers (No middle pickup) and a mahogany body and maple neck.
So my question is, What does everyone think of a mahogany body with an all maple neck and fretboard?
 
I love it!!  :headbang1:

Man! Those are beautiful!
Whats your tone like? Maple neck and board with mahogany,in theory, should be bad ass. Best of both worlds.
 
I have owned a few guitars that were Maple neck ebony fret board with Mahogany body and the tone is indeed huge.
A bit to much lows and low mids for fast music though
 
My oldest warmoth strat is mahogany body with a standard thin maple neck and ebony fretboard.
It's got a very well balanced and open tone.

Very thick and full range tone. Not muddy, just right. :icon_thumright:

That's good to know. I'm going to build something very similar (Strat body, though) and set it up for Nashville tuning, and I think the "thick and full range tone" will be an asset to such high tuning.
