Cutaways are standard fare with the sides bent smooth to the heel. If you prefer not to have a cutaway, you may omit it.

Laminated from three flawless pieces of mahogany with thin veneers. Graphite or hardwood reinforcements next to the double acting truss rod. As of 30 years, not one has had to come back.

Every neck can be custom carved.

Always the finest African ebony for fingerboards, bridges, and headstock veneers. I have a lifetime supply and I will never have to accept alternatives.

My bindings are always wood. Standard choices include ebony, koa, various rosewoods and maple. Note: In this gallery there are images of some choices that require an upcharge. (Snakewood and also shell purfling)

Beautiful shell or koa, surrounded by multiple purfling lines are a standard feature of Wingert guitars.

2mm dots of mother of pearl on the side of the neck. The bridge pins are ebony with or without abalone dots. I do not use ivory of any kind on my instruments.

I use hard, smooth cow bone for nuts and saddles.

My set up work begins with a fretboard dressed only after the neck is on the body.

Standard tuning machines used on Wingert guitars are Gotoh SGL 510 tuners, commonly refered to as 'contoured tuners.' They have a high 21:1 ratio. They have been a rock solid choice.
