Quartersawn Wenge........Warmoth Pro....????

[Superbeast520]

As usuall, now that I have a plan and, am getting close to wanting to order Im having doubts as to which type of woods to use......I have always wanted a Wenge neck and am thinking maybe Flame Maple is too ordinary...so How bout Quartersawn Wenge......Warmoth Pro......hmmmm.....the tonal properties are spoken of as nothing but fantastic......

My question is has anybody ever had a Wenge on Wenge neck ????  and if so opinions????  

I think it would look best cosmetically as well, and don't want to try other exotic woods as tonally and cosmetically they don't interest me...

I don't want an ebony fretboard (Though I think Ebony looks good on Wenge) as I don't like the brightness or feel of Ebony except for maybe metal .....for blues Im thinking Wenge should sound great being that its darker than Maple but brighter than Mahogany.

.....Im wanting to go with a Chambered Mahogany Strat Body, to compliment the pickups Im using.....and Im thinking Wenge would be a nice compliment to the Mahogany..Opinions???

I've played a Warwick with a wenge neck and fretboard. I couldn't describe sounds if you had a gun to my head, so tonally you're just going to have to guess or wait for someone smarter than I am to answer. I can just say it looked great and felt even better.

That's my highly scientific $0.02.
