what's wrong w/Mahogany?

[withmyshadow]

this's been discussed to death probably. But I did get any thing by searching the forum so,
I wonder why EBMM doesn't offer any guitar model with a mahogany body? is there a specific reason that they don't like using mahogany? too heavy? Ash (not swamp ash) is not much lighter than mahogany, afaik
I would love to see a axis SS w/ mahogany body and MM90. drooooool!

Nothing's wrong with it.
I wouldn't rule out never seeing one in the EBMM line though.
I'm sure it's simply about demand, economics, sound.......

Not too long ago the factory made a Mahog. Silo for BP. It's soooo sweeettt!!!

[kompressaur]

the burst on that mahogany is expert.with the tort plate and rosewood board the package is just perfect

If I recall correctly, he said it does! No surprise of course!

That guitar sounds so nice...But I have to say, I think the 20th Silo sounds better. The combo of woods etc make that guitar just sing.

well that just made my day a little better!!!

I think the 20th Anniversary Silhouette is hands-down the best sounding guitar EB has ever made.


I bet BP's Silo sounds pretty good, too.

 

[phatduckk]

i want my 20th silo now!

cant wait!!!!

 

[leishan]

That is absolutely beautiful!

(Starts Jedi Mind Trick): Come on BP, you know you want to sell it to me.

If only that would work...hehe...

I can not wait until my 20th!!!

 

[robelinda2]

early September for mine, the wait kills me on some days, all i do is think about how cool it will be when i open the case for the first time! and then i think of my Y2D coming in 3 or 4 weeks too, its a hard life.

 

[songman]

I just hope my 20th has some flame or quilt on it.
I saw two on ebay and one of them was very very plain.

 

[robelinda2]

yeah i've seen those on ebay, to be honest i'd be happy actually with mine if its like those, even though they were kinda plain, still very nice, i'm not getting the upgrade top so i wouldnt expect an unreal quilt or flame. Though, my Sunburst Axis SS seems like a great quilt to me, and its just a standard top, whereas i've seen other standard sunbursts look very plain and normal, so i guess we'll just have to wait and see what our 20th Silo's non-upgrade will be like! I'm sure it will sound and play amazing, plus you just dont see any bad EBMM tops, they all look fantastic, lets hope we get just a little bit lucky though!!!

I had my Tele made out of Mahogany -it's sweet and not too heavy at all.

remember--20th Ann. Silo=secret mahogany tone block!!!!!!!!

 

[Big Poppa]

kids that Mahog sounded good the 20th sounds better as jon said

None of the 20th's have plain tops...they are tricky to photograph sometimes

 

[pauldogx]

Amen to that BP---mine is not the upgraded top and has a beeutiful flame-----both Pete D. and I thought it was an upgraded one at first!!!!!

I didn't pay extra for the upgrade top. Therefore I will be content regardless of how plain the top will be on my 20th. I do have my fingers crossed though.

But I just can help my self from thinking how beautiful the top is on yours Paul, especially compare to this one on ebay. The photograph is bad, but even when you compare to the other 20th this seller has for sale on ebay, it's rather plain.

thanks songman-----I'm very pleased with the 20th---without a doubt the best guitar purchase I have ever made. And the necks on the 20th and the Luke have crazy birdseye on them. Thats the beauty of figured wood tops and necks they are all completely different-----it makes each guitar unique in ways that painted bodies cannot. That being said----I'm a total sucker for sparkle finishes too---go figure!!!!!!!
