Jack, as one who had my eye on that body for a couple months, I agree. the photo of the wenge neck does not fit that body. But I do like the construction grade lumber look of the photo.
If, however, your not satisfied with the neck you get, that neck would undoubtedly go with some other body, agree? if so, hold onto it for a future project, and get a body that will better fit the look of that neck.
When I considered buying that body, I did not envision it with the neck picture in question. but maybe as gregg says, the picture doesn't do it justice, we will see.
I have never held a wenge neck, but it just looks like I'd be picking slivers out of my hand for a week after I played it. I know thats an illusion in my own head
