this should be rather neet. looking forward to these arising.

question on the 6.5lb body weight. i am assuming that is carved and all cavities routed? thanks

Ok Ren, you got me. I know standards have rosewood fretboards but I just cant help it. I love a pitch black fretboard on a guitar.

 

[Hazmatt]

Preacher, yes thats all cavities routed with no hardware. Actually come to think of it... I forgot to put the hole for the jack. Maybe that will make up the .07 lbs? Haha, Ill fix it and let you know.

BTW anyone know what the Black Beauty bodies weigh with the solid mahogany?
