Wenge Tenor Guitar
Wenge isnt very well known in guitar circles but is gaining a reputation because of its stiffness and strong tap tone, It is still quite easily available in large sizes, and doesnt seem to be threatened in the ecological sense . But it isn’t nice to work with and is particularly difficult to finish.
Because of that finishing difficulty, we’ve used a matt finish on this guitar, to keep the thickness of the lacquer to a minimum.
The top is Spruce, bindings Rosewood with gold lines, and the neck is laminated from Mahogany and Wenge. It’s a strong looking guitar, with the “headroom” and power we would expect from these timbers
