Its been interesting reading how this subject matter has just taken off and shot in several directions.. lots of information popped up that I hadnt really expected, or asked for.. and tho it hasnt been directly stated... I get the idea that in answer to my origional question there has been no mahogany soundboard produced yet ? BTIM no 100% mahogany board (ribbing excluded). As far as these laminated variants... it does indeed seem odd that apparently no one has tried to really explore the possibilities of this approach..above and beyond the "lets see if we can do it cheap and fast" motivation. Btw.. the reason I asked this in the first place was that I came across an old beater that appeared to have a mahogany panel. Didnt have time to look it over closely, and by now I think the owner has used it for firewood, so I suppose I will never know.. Happy New Year everyone. --. Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
