One of two unusual Tenor guitars we made for Ullapool this year I will tell about the other one next month, or you could ask?

Wenge isn't 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 doesn't 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 difficulty, we've used a matt finish on this guitar, to keep the thickness of the lacquer to a minimum. Some players actually prefer that, so I'm hoping it will find a good home.

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 in the sound that we would expect from these timbers
