Mahogany
The 'woodiest' sounding tonewood I've got. Mahogany has a fine, open grain with large pores, similar to ash, but with a more even grain pattern and density. It is denser and heavier than Alder (a Strat body will usually weigh over 5lbs), but lighter than Maple. The color is reddish brown, better examples often have a golden 'sparkle' under a clear finish (like this does). The low frequencies are good, the midrange is compressed with prominent low mids and less upper midrange and smooth sounding highs. Overall, the tone is warm, full and thick. Dynamically, it is punchy and has excellent sustain. In a solid body, it is well suited for punchy rock music, in a hollowbody it has all the warmth needed for jazz. It is often mated with a maple top or neck to add some high end and some articulation. Of particular note is that good mahogany often ages really well, becoming better sounding every year. It is also an extremely stable wood, with less chance of warping over time than most other species. This is the same family and very similar to Honduran Mahogany, in fact most people are selling this as Honduran.
