I have a customer wanting me to build him a guitar with a Wenge neck. I've used Wenge for fretboards before but not necks. I have a few concerns and questions.
Wenge is known to be "splintery". Has anyone had issues with this on a neck?
Customer does not want a finish on the neck... so the splintering issue has me concerned. Otherwise I could just build up some layers of lacquer or poly.
It's also very heavy and hard. Can I get away with a CF rod instead of a truss rod?
