WENGE

Wenge, a strikingly dark exotic hardwood from Africa, ranges from deep brown to near-black, accented by bold, contrasting black grain lines that give it a distinctive, sophisticated look. Renowned for its exceptional hardness and durability, wenge is a go-to choice for guitar backs and sides, as well as necks and fingerboards, offering unmatched strength and wear resistance. Its unique tonal qualities deliver a crisp, articulate sound with a strong midrange punch and excellent sustain, making it ideal for players seeking precision and clarity.
