Is mahogany a bad guitar wood for playing djent?

I don't think wood matters when it comes to that kind of "progressive" music, it's more about your gear and technique, maybe pickups too but I don't know, all I needed was a Pod X3 and I got the toanz, in a few words

Bad no, but I prefer lighter woods for clarity. Whether I would be happy with mahogany would especially depend on scale length and tuning, but a lot of the tone can of course be countered by pickups.

Any wood can djent. It's a picking technique, tonewoods don't matter too much, although like others said, light woods for clarity and dense woods for snap do help achieve that 'tone' most djent bands use.

Luckily, compressors arent a wood so anything will djent.

For Djent, you need compressed wood. There's a manufacturer in Gatesville.

You have to stick your wood in it, until it compresses. Then it will djent.

I have a mahogany McCarty with stock pups, and a Mayo Setius with aftermaths. With the right EQ and pick hand technique, I've never had problems with bad tone.

 

[isispelican]

since you're going for a tight metallic tone, i think actual steel will help

 

[TheOrangeChannel]

And metal picks. And pickles.

Hardly...

If you're looking for djentwood anywhere other than in misha mansoor's pants, you will come out short...

Since djent has such an atrocious tone, I'd go with particle board, MDF, or OSB. Hopefully that will sound sufficiently shitty.

Michael J Fox can make anything djent.

 

[canuck brian]

I use mahogany bodies and i laminate noise gates directly into the neck for my djent customers.
