It's funny how some guitar makers can get soo much bass out of Mahogany while others don't.
Martin D-18's are known to be loud which is why they were the choice for Bluegrass lead playing for years. But they don't have a very strong bass end.
My wife plays a Taylor 410 that has Mahogany back and sides, with a pinless bridge.
It has plenty of bass end.
I hear a lot about the volume and bass that some D25 Guilds have.
I guess it all depends on how the guitar was built.
