Raslee Posted September 28 Posted September 28 Anyone know where I can get one built? Ideally superlight ie Paulownia or similar. I have the USA MM pickup and original electronics good to go, Allbridge lightweight MM bridge and a graphite neck hopefully in the next month or so from the wonderful Kiwi’s enterprises. Looking to get it all as light as possible, if anyone wants to take a project on 😉 Quote
Hellzero Posted September 28 Posted September 28 (edited) Calling @benh, @Silky999, @Jabba_the_gut in the U.K. or others like @Andyjr1515, if he accepts it. Or @RonC and @Basvarken in The Netherlands. Edited September 28 by Hellzero Forgot one name... 1 2 Quote

Silky999 Posted September 28 Posted September 28 1 minute ago, Silky999 said: It will depend on what you are looking for…….specs, finish, target weight, budget, time frame etc……as an idea of starting point, a one piece paulownia blank is about £125-150, if you want it painted and nitro finish, then that needs a month to cure before final sanding and polishing so that will affect time frame. Poly clear coat would be quicker over paint. Solid colour or burst? Maybe post what your vision is? Feel free to message me. 1 Quote

Four of those Gotoh's (minus bushes) are around 142 grams, saving of 2.8 ounces. Haven't looked at the bridge yet. Quote
