I like that! Is the neck much heavier than Mahogany? |

Lovely! Actually I've been trying different, denser, woods for necks - Padauk, Hard maple, Wenge, and seem to notice some improvement in the sound (projection/sustain?) As I'm doing heavier builds anyway (double sides at 2.6 - 3mm with epoxy) so balance doesn't seem a problem and any improvement could be down to just weight (as in Gore's Book where he uses weighed sides) |
