I would think that the Steve's Special would have too much high end for the mahagony body. Though, I have one in a basswood RG and it really bites at high volumes.
Maybe...give it a try...DiMarzio will let you swap it for another if you don't like it.
I've got one in my RG1680, which also has a maple/mahogany body. Sounds great to me. Very open but still hot. I haven't found it to be overly trebly. Sounds great distorted, nice and crunchy. Sorry I'm not better with tonal descriptions, just wanted to say I think it sounds great in a mahogany body. And as Jimm pointed out, you can always swap it if you don't like it.
