What are the tonal qualities of the Wenge necks? Simply gorgeous wood, that nice rich chocolaty color! Not a fan of the headstock; i mean, i just think it is a little too pronounced, for me it would have to be a much more subtle "swirl". I $%&#in love the body work, wow - that's all i have to say. Generally gorgeous all around! What is that little notch at the end of the fretboard for?

the notch at the end of the fretboard is for the truss rod adjustment, though to be honest i dont think its ever gonna need it - did move a fraction of a mm when i put the strings on.

I thought as much, but what kind of truss rod are you using? I am probably not familiar with this kind.
