If it is still different then mabey it is the quality of mahogany.I dont know much about gibsons,i cant be sure.But i think there wouldnt be any noticable difference.
If you are going for a nice clean sound i would suggest trying other guitars too.For example no other guitar can produce that typical funk sound of a stratocaster which i like very much.
I was always a fun of stratocasters because you can play everything with them and they have a very nice sound too...
