Alder or mahogany?

[Death by Uberschall]

I'm playing through a solid chunk of mahogany right now and I'll never turn back. I'm dying to try a mahogany body, maple top and maple neck.

Do it, you won't regret it.

Too many companies/options, I'm losing my mind trying to pick

Maybe this will help you decide:

Warmoth Soloist
Solid 1-piece Mahogany/flame maple top body, Maple/Maple neck. It fuckin' rocks!!

Solid? Alder...but with a maple top mahogany rocks pretty good.

I always knew you were a good man Ed

Where've you been Mr. Degenaro? Busy gigging, I'm sure.

Been in India, teaching and gigging with Atma Anur...came back around X-mas, and had to get ready for NAMM. Got a Baked Tater gig coming up and I'm off to India for another 10 weeks of gigging and teaching at the same music college.

Sounds crazy man. Keeping busy, that's for sure. Hope you're enjoying it.

Loving it...
I played on this Indian singer's album with Kai Eckhardt (McLaughlin's bassisit) and ATma, and she did some insane stuff on the last Richard Bona and Trilok CDs..who are 2 of my fave musicians.
Plus they roll the red carpet out for me in Asia...cannot complain.

Very cool Ed, glad to see your diligence pay off


OP question Alder all the way, there is a reason they throw maple caps on mahogany...........................

I have one of each right now (TAG Classic solid body Alder and a TAG Drop Top Mahogany body maple top). They are great. The characteristics are individualized and have already been stated. I vacillate between the two depending on the mood. You can't go wrong either way. Can't wait to see what you are having Suhr build for you.
