    Re: Difference between Basswood and Mahogany

    I read a couple of years ago that Epiphone Les Pauls are made of whatever mahogany is available, while Gibson Les Pauls use strictly (gasp!) Honduran mahogany.

      My Hamer Special FM is a nice slab Honduran mahogany body and set neck, 3/8" maple top. That's awesome tone! [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]
      My Ibanez RG7620 7-string is basswood, and it's not really that much lighter than the Hamer, but it's tone is a little brighter but strange sounding to me. It seems like it's in between mahogany an alder, but I'm not that crazy about it. If you want a really light tonewood that just sings, go with swamp ash!! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

              I was looking at toejam's avatar and wondering where that symbol came from, since it looks almost identical to the little symbol on the "Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son" album cover. [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

                <font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">The avatar pic is Derek Riggs' signature... it's hidden on just about every Iron Maiden album cover, that I know of (How could you not know that?!? And you call yourself a Maiden fan? [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] ). I think Mark was talking about looking in my profile. Since my name is Joe Tamborra, the first letters are switched... JoeTam/ToeJam. Get it? [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
