What does "last of the solid mahogany 03s" mean?  Are they gonna be laminated now or something?

I guess the above link explains it better than I can.  I have to say I'm selling it because mahogany just doesn't do it for me.  I thought I would give it another try in the body of an OM, but I soon realized my mistake.

But here is the exception. Gallagher uses African mahogany.  I don't know how that is different from South American, but my favorite guitar is my Gallagher Doc Watson.  I keep one other mahogany in the stable; my first "real" guitar which has sentimental value, a 1996 Taylor 410 that my wife bought me.    It is a very nice guitar and has even opened up amazingly despite the fact that it gets totally neglected.

I haven't been around any old D-18's or the like, but I expect the true value of mahogany comes with age.  Is that right?
