So all the neck stuff is
here.
Now it looks like this.
I've got to pop into a dive shop to grab a 500g (1.1 pound) rectangular lead weight for the arse-end of it. Lead's heavy: 100mm x 50mm x 8mm weighs over a pound
.
The whole through-neck weighs 1230g (2.7 pounds) and the "body" weighs a couple hundred grams... it really needs that lead!
Not sure where I'm going to fit the pickup - I'm sure it'll materialize when the time comes. The pickup will have to be wound super flat so that rules out the stacked HB I was thinking. Might have to go for a regular HB or even something that hummmmmmms.
