    Purdy and HEAVY!

    Let's see how this works out. Getting back in the swing of things. Couple curve balls in life. Now I have lots of projects to finish.
    This is from a fella in California. Every bit of 6.5 to 7 lbs. Two piece ash. About 1.775 inches thick. Cheers! Click image for larger version.

    Welcome back! That's a nice body, liking the string through.

    Would you have a link to this fellows site?

    I like the body shape, but with neck, pickups & hardware, I reckon that's going to come in around 10 lbs! (4.5+ kg)

    That would be way too heavy for this old man! I'd have to consider planing off the thickness a bit.

    It does seem a tad on the heavy side, says he that built a Baritone that tips the scales at around 5 kg. (Eurobeech, wonderful to work, very even and consistent, heavy as all get out)

    Nice. The edge route gives me lots of ideas.
    PitBull Builds: FVB-4, LP-1SS, FBM-1, AG-2, TB-4, SSCM-1, TLA-1, TL-1TB, STA-1HT, DSCM-1 Truckster, ST-1, STA-1, MBM-1.

    Scratch Builds: Pine Explorer, Axe Bass, Mr Scary, Scratchy Tele's.

    The little voices in my head keep telling me "build more guitars"
