skibum5545 Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Well, basswood is generally lighter than maple Pretty much anything you use (excepting hard ash and other exotics) is gonna be lighter than maple. Also, consider chambering the guitar and adding a drop top and back to reduce weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
