    Warwick ovangkol necks nowadays. Reliable?

    Good morning! I would like your opinion about WARWICK and neck woods . Warwick had a decade from 99 to 2010 in which there was a shortage of wenge and it had to replace it with ovangkol on the necks of several models (even stage 2 streamers). As it is a softer wood, a greater proportion of...
