- I've just got 2 beautiful natural finish RG670MH (Mahogany) and RG670AH (Ash). Both of them are identical except the bodies are made from different kind of woods. Let's hear how they sound.
I used Mesa Boogie mini-Rectifier 25 head and 2x12 mesa cab.
I tried to cover Extreme's "It's a monster" but didn't tune down to Eb.

I liked mahogany. Love warm yet punchy sound.
I liked ash. Love bright sound.
yeah agreed ash sounded way better, brighter but still smooth
I worked at Charvel/Jackson in the mid-eighties. They used poplar for bodies on bolt-ons and maple necks with poplar sides on their thru-neck Jackson's. Apparently, they guitar world swears by this inexpensive wood. I think the "tone woods" is hype. Am, pickup and guitar controls can to all sounds.
Your guitars, skills, and recording quality, all inspire me to continue learning. Thank you
I did realized I missed this comment for 2 years so sorry. Thanks for the encouraging feedback.
I like Ash body, because I love the clean sound. But your tone is awesome and thank you for this movie.
Que bien suena e interpretado. Extreme for ever.
The difference is there, but it's very very small. The Swamp Ash as they say is a teeeny bit brighter. Where you see the biggest difference is usually in the clean tones.
I would use the mahogany guitar for rhythm and the ash guitar for leads
The difference really is there. Hard to tell without watching, but it really affects the player more than anyone, and only he/she knows what sound suits them best
I hear the difference sitting here on my computer chair.....
I prefer Ash it's brighter and hence much more clarity/note definition.
Ash is for me!!
Whoever said that the wood on an electric guitar didn’t make any difference don’t know what the hell there talking about. I thought the mahogany sounded a lot warmer , richer. Love the mahogany.
I can't tell a difference and if there is you can fix it with just about any amp. I went into this loving mahogany but now I truly think it's all about Pick-ups.
I don't hear much of a difference either. I think the species of body wood makes very little difference in tone. Pickups, scale length, and type of bridge seem to make a big difference in the guitar. Of course, the amp and speakers make a huge difference.
Huge difference to me and having owned all mahogany vs mahogany/maple SG's there are differences pickups and amps can't fix.
Even if someone takes the time to set up the SAME pickup at the same height in two identical guitars, they won't be identical. The wood debate will always be fruitless.
No, but they will be in the same ballpark and probably only marginally different. There are times when one 'identical' guitar will just do something special that another wont, but thats a different thing entirely and more often about feel. Woods are like a baseline or foundation, the differences are subtle but you can't really escape them either. Its also worth noting that as the gain goes up the differences become miniscule, on cleans they are more apparent. The point is that putting Gibson pickups into an alder/maple strat wont magically turn it into a Les Paul with the same pickups; there's more going on as you suggest but wood also is a part of that. At the same time I think far too many people get way too into tonewoods, and like everything else, it will probably only really benefit a few. When it comes to choosing identical guitars other than the woods, I think its a much smaller point than guitars that are built differently and also feature different woods.
Mahogany sounds better with distortion and pushed overdrive, ash sound better for clean there is a big difference but as some other said the amp can easily fool you😜
Great song choice!
Thanks for watching!
I totally believe the wood does not affect tone in a Solid Body. Yes, yes it does in acoustic. It’s a marginal difference in the sustain of the resonant frequencies but the tone in a solid body guitar is all about the strings, the bridge and nut, and mostly, the pickups. It’s OK if you don’t agree with me. But it’s true.
You are right for the most part... I hear the differences though in the wood.... I guess some people just have better ears than others.
Fuck yeah Extreme
Ash won for me, less muffly, also less fat but that's a good thing for a live mix.
God damn. That playing
Thanks for watching!
I'm defo a mahogany fan.
Very subtle differences. Tbh if he played it in a mix without a video I bet none would be able to tell the difference.
I prefer Mahagoni. But in your application, I think that Ash fits better.
Thanks for the awesome video! You are an incredible guitarist! Is the ash body much lighter than the mahogany? Cheers from Knoxville :)
Ash is a bit lighter but not much. Thanks for watching!
Its very marginal but i hear it. One of em seems brighter. Either way its more about which one feels right thats ultimately going to sound the best
I vote ash body
I couldn't tell any difference when you were actually playing the same chords and phrases on each guitar.
I thought the difference was pretty stark
The first time I watched the video, I couldn't tell that there were 2 guitars being played, as I was listening to the audio only. However when I put my eyes into the equation, I could tell that the mahogany had more midrange and treble and sounded smoother. What about you? What difference did you feel with the two guitars in the room?
Ash is a bit brighter with more pronounced mid/high. Mahogany has a bit more bottom end but not as much mid/high so it sounds smoother. That's what I heard. Thanks for watching.
Siddharth Karunakaran Shouldn't that tell you that there is no difference? You just stated you had no idea of the difference until you realized there were two guitars. You projected your own bias preconceptions when you noticed there were actually two different guitars.
@Trent F Yes you are accurate. I totally agree with you. Time to stop being a sucker for tonewoods.
no diff here.
ibanez is the best
ส่วนตัวพี่เล่นแล้วชอบตัวไหนครับ มะฮอกกานีหรือแอช ผมกำลังจะซื้อกีตาร์ตัวใหม่อยู่ ขอคำแนะนำครับ
แอชเสียงคลีนเด้งกว่าครับ มะฮฮกกานีเสียงแตกโดยเฉพาะทางด้านเสียงต่ำแน่นกว่า ดีทั้งคู่ครับ อยู่ที่ชอบแบบไหน
jem555bkk ขอบคุณครับพี่ ผมชอบมะฮอก ไม้แอชก็ชอบ เดี๋ยวค่อยๆซื้อทั้ง2แบบเลย
How is the tonewood debate still a thing with clear audio evidence
Because some people can hear it.... not everyone can... I hear the differences you're saying that you don't?
I love to properties of both. Ash and mahogany each make up for the missing tonal properties that the other's missing respectively. Anyway, I usually play guitars with ash bodies, but if I could only sneak some mahogany warmth and fullness into the mix at the same time, I wouldn't ever change my sound or look for a new improved one again. It would be my last guitar purchase I would ever need if there was a way to make a mix breed of the two.
Mahogany=Dark and focused
Ash=bright and lots of overtones
Mahogany sounds close to a Gibson Les Paul, with a warm darker sound. Ash sounds closer to a Fender Strat with a brighter but more twangy sound. Personally I'd go with Mahogany as the tone sounds fuller
I wonder about weight. Which one is heavier?? Is weight affects to the tone??
because of this question, I did weigh them on a digital scale. The mahogany is a bit heavier at 3.5 kg while the Ash is 3.3kg. Not much but you can tell the mahogany is a bit heavier carrying them. Whether the weight affect the tone or not, I do not know. Thanks for watching and the question.
Ash was heavier was my guess but whoa thank you so much for responce really really appreciate it!
*Mahagony* sounds _warmer and articulated_
*Ash* sounds _harder and clearer_
= both good for many musicstiles
didnt notice a single subtle tone change this time sorry.
Are you interested in selling either of these models?
I've sold both already. Thanks for watching.
no matter what wood is there ibanez guitars especially prestige series sound so well they have literally destroyed fenders and Gibson's ! neck playability sound pickups low pro bridge frets electronics I mean you name it they have done all makes not to forget the cosmetic beauty ! Japanese are some shooter's !
Really quite an opinion. Many would disagree considering the stratocaster is the number one selling guitar.....
Pick the wood that didn't grow in a tropical forest.
Are these available in US?
These are quite old model from 2012 or 13. Thanks for watching!
how much price now?
They were made in 2013 so I'm not sure about the price now either. Thanks for watching!
if you're listening to this through an iPhone you're opinion doesn't matter.
That distortion sound is just not for me...Sounds too muddy.
แยกไม่ค่อยออก แต่ชอบ ash มากกว่า มีพลังตอนท้ายเสียง
I heard no difference.
both different just because they didnt same guitar
El mismo
Great, now guitarrists are trying to hear tone differences under lots of distortion? Ok, keep trying, there will always be someone ready to "hear" what his mind tells him to do...
Just so you guys know, tone comparisons are useless when you're playing spaghetti thin strings through an EVH amount of distortion.
The difference is neglectable to me
Ash body is better
цифровой звук
it's all distorted ,so no way to really hear one wood body versus another. The most obvious problem of all !
