Does anyone here have experience with necks made out of Wenge, Goncalo Alves and/or Rosewood?
I have a lot of experience with your typical neck woods (mahogany, maple, sapele, ebony, etc.), but these 3 have escaped me. To be clear, I'm talking about the body/back of the neck or the neck as a whole, not just the fretboard.
I typically shy away from "tone wood" debates, but different neck materials have very different feels under the hands and substantially different characteristics in terms of resonance/transmission of vibrational energy. I know weight can vary a lot, as well.
Curious what people's impressions have been with these woods?
