    I think an acoustic wenge will sound more full and darker, and not as "nice". Crude, but in a good way. (This compared to the first clip) Actually, the guitar in the second clip is quite bright. It's a dreadnought, and they are usually full bottom and very bright top (less midrange). I think a...

    Haven't been on the website for ages it feels like (studying hard at the moment, no extra space in my brain to remember.. ehm.. anything really) To answer your question, very resonating wood indeed. Even with no strings on, you can slap the body with your thumb and hear "notes". Unplugged it...

    A real beauty that one! Definitely GOM material (I mean, a similar guitar has made it before, hint hint)  :laughing7:

    Well, it really is "smooth jazz" woody when played clean on neck pickup, very much so. But on the song "I Can't Drink All That, I'm Not Even Thirsty" I use my D*A*M Drag'n'fly fuzz, so things sound a bit more like a forest fire  :icon_thumright: Neck position is very jazz-y, round warm and...

    Screwhead?

    Hi guys! Just wanted to share my music with you. Screwhead is my band and in these recordings I used my Wenge VIP throughout. I'm the singer and my guitar is in the left speaker almost all the time, but I suggest you listen to the music as a whole! Hope you enjoy it! :headbang...

    Hi everyone! Haven't been on the forum for quite some time now. Some of you wanted sound clips, but i still have no recording gear at home. But here is my bands new album, and my guitar is mostly in the left speaker. Also I'm the singer. Hope you like it!  :icon_biggrin: screwhead.bandcamp.com

    "best" wood for minimal or natural-looking finish & big tone?

    My Wenge VIP sounds really "big" and has no finnish at all. Looks great that way! Check it out in the VIP section  :icon_thumright:

    May Submissions - Guitar of the Month Contest

    So this "anything goes", does it mean that you can submit an unfinnished guitar as well, as long as it fills all the other criteria?

    Don't forget that he has a toggle and not a blade switch, might get confusing trying to convert it in your head. Actually I tried a tele wiring first, but there were differences on which arm the cap should sit on the tone pot. On the tele diagram it was supposed to be on the left arm (if they...

    I was considering painting the inside edges (and a tad over the edge on the top) to make it look like bound f-holes, but then I made a rough picture of it in photoshop and it only made the guitar look less woody and somewhat plastic. So I decided to keep it just as it is. I like the natural look...

    All Wenge VIP

    So this is my finished guitar. It's my second Warmoth build and it is by far the "best" sounding guitar I've ever played. (By best I mean that it suits my needs perfectly, way better than I had hoped) It's an all Wenge VIP with Wenge neck and Ebony fretboard. Semi-hollow body with cream binding...

    Volume Pot Problem - volume going up again from 1 to 0?

    Hehe dude, I wasn't going to put it on the 10 side, ofc not! But you know what? It worked with the nail polish!! :headbang: Now it only bumps the volume for a tiny bit of the evolution, but when it's at 0 it's quiet! I still get some minor hum when on 0, about as much as if it would be on 6-7...

    Volume Pot Problem - volume going up again from 1 to 0?

    Thanks man for your quick answer! I'll try to remove some carbon film or use the nail polish. (Whichever seems easiest) The thing is that I didn't even heat up the volume pot that much, so it'd be strange if the volume is busted. I was more concerned about the tone pot, that one I was heating...

    Volume Pot Problem - volume going up again from 1 to 0?

    Hi there folks! I'm building a Wenge VIP (hollow body all wenge, with wenge neck and ebony fb) and I've wired the electronics and everything works fine except for the volume pot, which is acting all weird. It works fine down to about 1, where it cuts all signal, but when I keep turning down to...

    Wenge VIP in my head

    Ye, I've listened to it (clips of the BK/Wenge VIP) and it sounds really nice to me, despite being a compressed mp3-file. Just thought I'd go with Wenge, since it has an even better tonal reputation and seems to fit my needs just a little better. Anyway, I'll probably send some mails to people I...

    Wenge VIP in my head

    Well, I'm not looking for a dark guitar, I'm actually looking for a well-balanced, mid humpy guitar. It's just that I don't want it to lack lows, since the lows are important to get a nice full sound. Plus I'd really like to try a wenge neck just for its playability, not only the tone-factor. I...
