(Shown: GS Mini Mahogany)
Overview: Mahogany's dry, focused character makes it a great choice as a top wood alternative to spruce. As a hardwood, it will add a touch of natural compression to the guitar's voice, smoothing the edge off an aggressive attack for a balanced, even response. Like other hardwoods, mahogany tends to open up as it matures with time and play, yielding more warmth and depth.
Origin: Central and South America
Goes Well With: Blues and roots music players or anyone who likes a slightly more burly, punchy quality in their tone. Players seeking a slightly darker, woodier character than spruce should test out mahogany-topped guitars.
