      There are definitely Mahogany bodied guitar with Floyds out there. What you don't really see are mahogany necked guitars with Floyds.

          Except the SL2H-MAH. It has a mahogany neck and body, ebony board, and maple top too. I wonder what it sounds like?

            Music Zoo

            I also have one of the Music Zoo SD Reissues in mahogany (with an OFR). It is one of my best sounding and playing guitars......especially now that it has an oversized brass sustain block.

              Anyone?

              Could there be any bad things about the mahogany? Ie its soft and maybe will break easier with the presure of a Floyd rose? I'm completly new to this so please don't mind the many questions

                Breakage of the wood should be a non-issue if only the Floyd posts sit in metal bushings (like they normally do nowadays). I figure it may have been an issue back when Floyds used posts that screwed directly into the wood. I know that basswood guitars had problems with that.

                  Also have a Model 88, FR, african mahogany. Very stable.
                  And a Hamer Phantom, Honduran mahogany, has trem, but I don't use it.
