    Default Mahogany neck -> Alder body?

    Has anyone ever seen or heard a guitar with this combination?

    I'm also interested in ash as a body wood.

    how would this turn out?

    I've never seen a mahogany neck on an alder or swamp ash body, but I think fretboard material has more impact on the tone than the neck wood does. What are you thinking for the fretboard?

    Indeed, one of the JP's had that config. But i heard from my luthier that you shouldn't mix very different woods together.

    Also in the Suhr site, it suggests that Mahogany necks go better with Mahogany bodies.

    My Godin is as close to that combo as it gets... the body is mostly soft maple with some poplar in the sides... the neck is an LGX Mahogany neck... it freakin rocks!

    I want to do just that with my ash AllParts Strat, mine has a MIK maple/maple Hamer neck from a Californian I think.

    I'd like to take some shrill highs off and add mids. Should it do something or it would be irrelevant?

    The Washburn Dime Series had a mahogany neck with an alder body.

    I have thought about doing the same thing, since I like Alder for the most part, but I want to tone it down a little.
