Tonewood Exparament: Has anyone tried this?

A thought just struck me today, has anyone seen someone try to custom-make a Stratcaster out of Mahogany, and a Les Paul out of Alder for tone comparison?

Maybe custom-building the guitars from the normal woodtypes as well for a standard homemade comparison?

(Disclaimer: I know tonewood is the great un-ending Snakeoil arguement among the guitar player community, and that other things like picks & strings, or how the individual piece of wood formed in the wild, dictate more of the overall tone than the woodtype itself (kind of), I just wanted to ask is all.)

GEAR:
  • Washburn T-24 Taurus Bass
  • Gibson EB-3
  • Epiphone Les Paul Custom Pro Koa - Limited Edition
