Well, like Mattia said it's quite heavy but unfortunately I haven't been able to find some decent wood for the top. It is a solidbody now. I cut the body, routed the neck pocket and PU cavities. You can see the burn marks around the body, I have to sharpen my ball bearing bits or learn how to find the right cutting speed or both.
Neck pocket and front cavities
Then started carving and hoping to remove some wood to make it lighter
Carving body
Neck is attached and some measurements are taken
Body with neck
I am a big person, thus the big body. It is now a little bit heavier than my Gibson LP Std. The back cavities are not routed yet. This is my first project, so I wouldn't mind playing it seated as long as it turns out to be playable The neck in the picture was picked from e-bay some time ago. I am testing around with scarf joints, slotting, etc. I will start building the neck when I'm ready. I've got tons of sanding to do now.
More on the ash / black pine body later.
Cheers.
