Does anyone know what this would sound like?

Also dfoes anyone know of a site that talks about the various tonewoods and how they sound?

Thanks

warmoth has the tonewood info

or you could just search on google, that usually yields better results

quot;The Strat Chroniclesquot; book has a red mahogany strat, and it says that, according to the owner, it sounds great.

earlier today i was just thinking about making a mahogany strat.....weird coincidence

My guitar teacher has a mahogany tele, the bridge pup is a JB jr or lil 59 (one or the other) but the neck pup is a normal tele one. Sounds great, a bit different to a normal tele but still a great tone.. been a while since I played it though so I can't give a detailed comparison

Thanks for the link it was very helpful. Also thanks to everyone else who responded.

Basically i have a cheap strat copy that has a nice neck, but the body is made of sawdust and the electronics suck. It does have some value to me though since it was my first guitar, so i thought of bolting the neck on another body,painting it the same color and upgrading the electonics.

Also since i have'nt seen to many mahogany strats i thought it might be interesting.

I would pull towrds the tele as the more versital although the strat might be interesting and most of this depends on what you want to do with it-

as you know from gibson vs fender discussions, mahagoney is considered one of the warmest tone woods and it really emphathizes mids- ive got a freind with a warmoth tele and it sounds like it's in between an SG and a tele- still has the bite, but more sustain and thicker- Becuase I think of the tele as a bright guitar I can understand and appreciate this body change-

but I dont think of strats as bright- to me they run the gauntlet of tones and average out in the middle- but the coolness of the clasic strat to me is the quacky sc sound and lack of sustain for rhytem work- I've never played a mahognney strat (wiht classic features) but in my mind scoils, quack and short sustain are exactly the opposite of what mahgoney would get you-

Now if you are after a LP sound in a strat body, there is no doubt that this is the way to go- One of my buddies in 25.5 dependent as I am and his primary LP tone comes from a HSS Zion with a mahoney body and maple cap-

The SCs can get a tele like sound, but they just dont sound like a strat at all- and most of the time you would sware he was playing a 2hum LP
