Solid bloodwood with a maple cap?

How about a Tele headstock but a Strat heel? Solid bloodwood will leave a Tele neck heavy and it would dive; but the different bout design on the Strat body shape might correct the problem. Adopt as little of the Strat design as you like.

Your only other option would be a 5 1/2 pound plus, maybe 6 pound tele body.
