Tele looks nice Chris. I like the earthy look of it.
Yeah, my TLA-1 (in my avatar, also ash) was heavier than I liked, so I did comfort and forearm contours as well as a "swimming pool route under the pickguard. It started out at 2.8kg and I got it down to 2.4kg. I know it's only 400g, but it makes a difference IMO.Ash body is heavier than I expected. I was tempted to route out some more just to l9ghten it but it sounds so good I’m tentative
to hollow her out.
The whole thing finished up at 3.8kg, which is fairly reasonable across tele's in general. (3.7kg is the average weight of all my strats, teles, LPs)
