Hi everyone I'd love to see your favorite mahogany guitars if you have images. I'm trying to envision various appointments to go with mahogany and would love to see what everyone else enjoys. |

Here's a couple pics of my 2nd guitar, a mahogany/cedar dread that I made for a friend who was graduating from Brown U. with his PhD in Philosphy. I really like this one. It was one of my favorite builds. Sorry for the poor quality pictures... It was so many years ago that I did this one, I hardly remember much about it.

Thanks folks. I really love mahogany. I'm becoming a big fan of it. My friend is teaching Philosphy at a university in New York state, and uses the guitar regularly in church I think. Steve, yes, those are cocobolo bindings if my memory serves me. Serge, it was very easy to part with it, since a close friend was getting it. I made it for him as a graduation gift in a small sense. He paid for the materials and the case, that is if the amount he gave me actually covered all of it. I don't think it did, but I was more concerned that he have a guitar something better than his Applause... Needless to say, he really loved it when he first picked it up. It wasn't perfect, but came out pretty decent. |

Thanks Don, more than decent from what i see here anyway, what did he do with the Applause, shoot it or burnt it?

Wow, I almost bought that guitar from John and decided not to late in the game. Jim, the flamed mahogany and body shape look so similar to what I'm imagining that it's not even funny. It looks great! (thankfully!!!) |

This thread really doesn't belong in the Off-Topic section. We should ask Lance and Brock to move it.... |

Here's one, cedar top, cocobolo bindings... Some nice figure here, cocobolo bindings.... A bit wild, with ebony bindings.. Simple can be beautiful! Ebony bound, again. One of my earliest mahogany guitars.. Ebony, again... Simple, with TS bindings Here's one in ivoroid trim... More cocobolo trim(notice a trend, here <bg>) with flamed maple bindings... perhaps the same one in maple trim... One of the first OM/D, with oak bindings... A 12 fret dread in white birch bindings.... A pair with oak bindings TS... Oak... That enough? <bg> Hope the above show that pretty well anything goes well with mahogany. |

This has to be one of my favourite mahogany guitars, The all mahogany by Paul Woolson, with that killer end graft.
