It's a one piece swamp ash body that weighs under 3.5 pounds, but I can't remember if that was before or after routing a middle pickup. I'm going to use dupli-color blue sparkle which cures really fast compared to Reranch nitro.
I'm still waiting for Musikraft to finish the neck and then I need to finish it since it so hot and dry here in the summer I can often get three coats of tru-oil on a day.
I almost completed the Orange Tele last night, but I cut the B string slot way too deep I want to do the nut on the blue Strat over as I think I can get a wider string spacing. The 1.75" nut really helps me play clean! My big fingers do not touch two strings at once anymore!
