    I’ve used the African mahogany in the Something Stirs build, it’s a reasonable weight, the QLD maple is a bit lighter.
    I’ve got to put a couple of blanks together from each and do a weight comparison.

    African Mahogany sounds like an interesting choice, my BC Rich Warlock has a Mahogany body and I like the tone I get from it, the Warlock also has a Maple Neck with a Rosewood fingerboard.


    I'm going with one of these Floyd Rose Original trem bridges from Stewmac:
