Wenge
The Wenge is a very common wood to make bass and electric guitar necks and fingerboards, in order to replace other more expensive woods such as Rosewood or Ebony. Over time, the optimal acoustic properties of this wood have been discovered, so its use has been extended to other parts of the guitar, as happens with acoustic guitar bacs.
The Wenge is a strong wood, rigid and stable, which provides medium and low tones. Like every hard, heavy and dense woods, if it has a good treatment, the Wenge will provide a more fundamental resonance and a brilliant touch to the sound.
