Mahogany is used for the body and neck.
Maple, Rosewood and ebony are used for fretboards.
Granadillo is used to make fretboards due to the lack of Rosewood.

My LP has the Granadillo fretboard, due to Gibson having to scramble to find suitable replacement tonewood due to the confiscation. Nevertheless, it plays fantastic and is quite beautiful and I am stoked to have it.

As for the mahog, I type my comments quickly, if it's not a crucial comment, I don't feel the need to double-check.
Nevertheless, you are correct, mahoghany is not used for fretboards.
