Lightweight Stingray body required

[Raslee]

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 😉

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.

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.

Wow, that's some useful links - I have some Hipshot HB6's with all 4 coming in at 220grams. Four of those Gotoh's (minus bushes) are around 142 grams, saving of 2.8 ounces. Haven't looked at the bridge yet.

Thank you all for the help - feeling the love

Wait to see the price of the whole set... 😉
