Planning my next project and am pretty set on a wenge body this time. I got a great Warmoth Wenge/Ebony neck for my first build (a Gibson RD copy)
Made the body from scratch out of mahogny and learned alot. Wasn´t entirely happy with the result so I´ll be using the same neck for this next project.
Have found a local luthier who can order the wood for me. I know about splinters, toxic dust and potential gluing problems so it promises to be a fun build. :toothy10:
Anybody got experience working with wenge? I saw norumba:s wenge/ash project and that looked great.
The body design will be a solid eletric guitar similar to Sandberg´s Florence. http://www.sandberg-guitars.de/guitars/florence
I am little concerned about the weight. Has anybody played a solidbody guitar made entirely out of wenge?
Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!
