Rahoul, you can use either of those for the neck, but my first choice would be the mahogany because it's a bit more stable and a lot more easy to work with hand tools. |

I have used african mahogany multiple times and love it. I like that it is a bit darker under finish than honduras mahogany. |

Rahoul, Like Don mentioned, either one will work, I use both and it is depending on what back and side material I am using, the maple does not have pores to fill unlike Mahog, but it also adds a little more weight. |
