Nice detail. I've liked every wenge guitar I've tried, so this should be good.

I may be wrong but I think it's missing a neck, though.

Along with the obvious mastery of style elements (congrats on this, seriously...beautiful!), Ben has now also miniaturized and mastered the Klingon science of a cloaking device for the necks on his guitars...patented as the new "Invisi-neck", it baffles player and audience alike, as no one ever knows what fret you're on...even you.

Technically the cloaking technology is Romulan, and the Klingons got it from them.

I'm in the middle of a comprehensive ST marathon as we speak.

I like the art deco end graft design. I've been collecting wenge but have yet to use it. It just looks fantastic but watch out for those splinters!

Mr Worf says "Wenge SuvwI' Sor Hap"

You can't beat a bit of Wenge, such a fantastic name for a fantastic wood and you have done it justice on this guitar.

Agreed! Honestly, I haven't caught a splinter with this one. If you are precautious, everything is ok. Wenge is my favorite tonewood for a long time, and in terms of sound I have big attempts for this one!

Thanks for your kind words Ozzy!
