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
