PDA starting body weight and finished weight? dill January 9th, 2009, 10:20 AM sure this has been covered a hundred times, but... if you want a final weight around 7 lbs., what should the initial body weight be? this is assuming a vintage type build. Thanks! I did search, BTW for this info! BAW4742 January 9th, 2009, 10:36 AM Take off somewhere between 3 and 3-1/2 lbs for hardware, neck, etc. and that would make starting weight for body about 3-1/2 to 4 lbs for a finished weight of 7 lbs.
