Wenge guitar tops

[dres_x]

I'm toying with the idea of getting a Warmoth Soloist body...Swamp Ash w/ a Wenge top. Does anyone have any Wenge guitars? Post some pics please!

Seems like a lot of people like wenge for necks...but I've already got a neck and looking for a body haha

Wenge tops look nice generally. They'll add a bit of weight to the Swamp Ash though as Wenge is a pretty heavy wood.

my ET guitars "katana" prototype has a wenge neck, and ash/wenge body.
It is ridiculously clear and aggressive sounding.

Even the more dense top woods contribute a very small amount of total weight in the body,as long as they are not very thick.Especially when talking about the thickness of the top you posted (btw KILLER looking bass ).
