Mahogany vs Korina ONEs?

[Ovibos]

Anyone have opinions on the difference?

 

[veinbuster]

Korina is sexier.

 

[garrett]

Mahogany is more badasser.

 

[Tahlee]

Korina is usually lighter than mahogany. And, indeed sexier. Unless it’s ribbon mahogany. That’s dead sexy.

 

[sergiodeblanc]

Both, duh.

I have tried both PRS with hog and korina. The korina was lighter and has a bit more treble in the sound. IMHO, among those alternate woods PRS offering for body, I prefer korina next to mahogany - folowed by swamp ash.

Sergio is right

Korina isn't necessarily lighter than mahogany. There will be plenty of overlap in weight.

They only did birds on the korina Ones. The only thing I don't like about the korina versions is it seems like there's always one piece that doesn't match well cosmetically. The korina Ones have three-piece necks, while the mahogany are one-piece.

If you see one you like at a price you like, pounce. You can't go wrong.

I asked this too late and failed to get a white one on fleabay.

How’d I get to be death?

I do enjoy some nice white or black limba. However, hog always seems to have the sound I’m looking for, a little darker with a fuller bass response. For me, the real dark horse is swamp ash. Relatively cheap, can be had in lightweight blanks (unlike hog sometimes), and has a great resonant, full-frequency sound to me. High gain warning, however; if clean or vintage tones are your thing, my thoughts may not apply.

Were you about to die and then accidentally killed Death instead? That's what happened to the guy in On a Pale Horse by Piers Anthony. He went on to have many zany adventures as Death, so it probably won't be all bad.

Korina because Birds

I don’t think I’d make a very good death, unless I could make the rules...

I was thinking more like Death in the Sandman books:
