It counteracts deadspots and will stop the mahogany making things all woolly and muddy. also makes the neck stronger.

If you really want to go overboard btw, you can buy some threaded inserts and use them to attach the neck. Its a bit of work, but it makes the join much stronger and thusly increases sustain etc.

Stainless Steel guitar neck fixing kits
The kit in the link is exactly what I need anyways so that will work out. And if thats the case with mahogany I may just switch to maple since the sound difference is only slight.

Where should I take the guitar now to check and see for sure if the body can for sure take a non customized fender neck?
