    Real ones are heavy though, and need a special stand (as does an explorer, though not so heavy), so probably less convenient for Phroz.

    100% Simon right on the money, i mainly do them for myself or close mates and being in a wheelchair its a struggle to hold it and if the body is heavy (arla les paul) its a struggle to just hold it let alone play it, i have been thinking about doing some hollow body's but not quite sure which, having a room full of guitars isn't a problem as i play them all and none sound or play the same, i'm in the middle of a Lpaul for a friend so ill be ordering a couple of kits soon but won't be strat family.I have a few different finishes i want to try, SG is a candidate my missus used to play an EX which she loved. leave it with me and i might surprise every one. thanx for the input guys food for thought ....
