The choice of neck material is a strong factor in the sustain and tone of a guitar. Mahogany is commonly used for its ease of carving, but the density of the specific piece is something that the luthier needs to consider when making decisions about the guitar. Maple can make a big difference, so if the desire is purely aesthetic, I'd discuss it carefully with your luthier -
