I'm looking to get a pau ferror top on mahogany body WGD and I can't decide on a neck.  Anybody have photos?  Looking at mahogany neck and possibly pau ferro or rosewood fretboard.

If you have any photos that would be sweet.

Thanks!
 
That's gonna be a heavy little rascal.

Be that as it may, if it was me, I'd be putting a Pau Ferro neck with an Ebony 'board on that body.

Stainless frets, of course. Unless you're thinking of gold hardware, then I'd do the gold frets. Also, I think I'd do a Warmoth rather than the Strat headstock, but that's the only picture I could find.

that does look pretty good!

Yeah, and it would sustain for years while having great definition and high articulation. If you couldn't find a set up pickups to sound good in that thing, there's something wrong in the world of physics. But, as I said, it would be a heavy little rascal. I'd expect a full build like that to be about 9 lbs. That's hard on you even if you're a beast.
