My "bar basher" kit is the Gretsch Catalina Club Mod shown here in mahogany. The wrap is gone (as it bubbled real bad in the AZ heat), but I choose that kit specifically because I love that wood and the color & sound is exactly what I was looking for.
I'm 99% sure it's that Luan mahogany typically used for crafts & whatnot as the wood is more pine color rather than the rich brown you'd typically see.
I'm fine with that as it's the sound I was after & I got it.
Do any kits use the rich, brown "old growth" mahogany or is it too hard to get like this article said?
