    I think an acoustic wenge will sound more full and darker, and not as "nice". Crude, but in a good way. (This compared to the first clip) Actually, the guitar in the second clip is quite bright. It's a dreadnought, and they are usually full bottom and very bright top (less midrange). I think a...

    Haven't been on the website for ages it feels like (studying hard at the moment, no extra space in my brain to remember.. ehm.. anything really) To answer your question, very resonating wood indeed. Even with no strings on, you can slap the body with your thumb and hear "notes". Unplugged it...

    A real beauty that one! Definitely GOM material (I mean, a similar guitar has made it before, hint hint)  :laughing7:

    Well, it really is "smooth jazz" woody when played clean on neck pickup, very much so. But on the song "I Can't Drink All That, I'm Not Even Thirsty" I use my D*A*M Drag'n'fly fuzz, so things sound a bit more like a forest fire  :icon_thumright: Neck position is very jazz-y, round warm and...

    Screwhead?

    Hi guys! Just wanted to share my music with you. Screwhead is my band and in these recordings I used my Wenge VIP throughout. I'm the singer and my guitar is in the left speaker almost all the time, but I suggest you listen to the music as a whole! Hope you enjoy it! :headbang...

    "best" wood for minimal or natural-looking finish & big tone?

    My Wenge VIP sounds really "big" and has no finnish at all. Looks great that way! Check it out in the VIP section  :icon_thumright:

    Ye I meant "raw finished" guitar (Bass guitar). Sry for being so inaccurate with what I meant. Cheers!

    May Submissions - Guitar of the Month Contest

    So this "anything goes", does it mean that you can submit an unfinnished guitar as well, as long as it fills all the other criteria?

    Don't forget that he has a toggle and not a blade switch, might get confusing trying to convert it in your head. Actually I tried a tele wiring first, but there were differences on which arm the cap should sit on the tone pot. On the tele diagram it was supposed to be on the left arm (if they...

    I was considering painting the inside edges (and a tad over the edge on the top) to make it look like bound f-holes, but then I made a rough picture of it in photoshop and it only made the guitar look less woody and somewhat plastic. So I decided to keep it just as it is. I like the natural look...

    So this is my finished guitar. It's my second Warmoth build and it is by far the "best" sounding guitar I've ever played. (By best I mean that it suits my needs perfectly, way better than I had hoped) It's an all Wenge VIP with Wenge neck and Ebony fretboard. Semi-hollow body with cream binding...
