Sanding the cutaways is always tricky sand paper wrapped around thick dowel or a part of a broomstick is usually the way I do it, sounds like it will be awesome with all your mods. I wouldn't worry too much about the weight though, many builders strive to make their bodies as light as possible. I have some paulownia (Dragon Tree) that I will be making into a guitar, almost feels as light as Balsa wood but is really resonant.
Could it be ash though?Quote:

Hey Joe I doubt the timber is ash, ash would be more dense than basswood. Some cheap strats have been made with plywood but doesn't look like plywood.
It certainly isnt or i would've chucked it right out [emoji13]Quote:

Very light swamp ash if your extremely lucky?? What ever it is it still looks cool.:)
My guess is paulownia. Looking good!
Could very well be! If i can get the neck to line up right and my burst finosh doesnt fail miserably I think i'll have a nice axe to add to my collection!Quote:

Ok after a VERY long sanding session im finally done! Sanded everything including the fretboard down to 600 grit.
Holes for custom inlays are prepped.
I bolted the body and neck together just for kicks and MY GOD it is LIGHT i cant express this ive never held such a light guitar, it makes my hardtail jackson dinky feel like a battering ram!
