Les Paul was in the tone zone when he developed the his namesake rig. Why screw with perfection?

Hmmm... that's a tough question for me. I like plenty of them, so I have to get back to you on that.
Well, the Grosh I'm in love with and my Gibson I love, so I'll go with mahogany back/maple top

Re: favorite guitar wood?
Actually, it's not, but can you guess what it is (it's completly stock)?
Maple (unfinished) thin (similar to a wizard) neck w/rosewood fingerboard
24 jumbo frets
25.1" scale
Basswood body
Contoured heel and neck pocket
S/S/H routed (no pickguard)
Kahler Spyder double locking trem
Gotoh tuners
Factory Singles
DiMarzio Super Distortion w/coil tap
It's a Fender Stratocaster.
No really, it is.

Re: favorite guitar wood?
I prefer Alder with maple necks, or maple with a rosewood board.
I like the tone of basswood, but there's not quite enough sustain for me and it's too soft.
Les Pauls with their Mahog/Maple bodies are classic. Perfect combo! Don't USA Jacksons do that, too?

Re: favorite guitar wood?
You could've used that "your mom" choice for something else dude. I like balance and sustain, in fact I think those are the key elements to a versatile guitar. I like mahogany, but I like Korina more, it's more musical like Blueline said, it might be hard to believe in fact I sometimes have trouble believing it. Mahogany is pretty cool, sustains well, but is too warm (too much, bass and mids) to really be versatile. I think solid maple caps help it balance out, but for optimal balance get a hard maple neck as well. You'll get the best of both worlds; balance and sustain. Because I think most pick ups tend to sound bassy, and Ebony fingerboard is prefered, it's sharp crunchy and feels amazing!
I voted Mahogany w/ maple neck, because it comes closest to my ideal
