Let's see if it works this time. I weighed my DIY Strat and it comes in at 10 pounds (4.5 kg).

If I get a chance, I'll weigh it and let you know.stuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02461220593169801487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534195963488802319.post-108327422863768712008-04-18T23:00:00.000-07:002008-04-18T23:00:00.000-07:00You're my hero, Stu!By the way, just how much heav...You're my hero, Stu!<BR/><BR/>By the way, just how much heavier is this type of ash than the swamp ash that you said is preferred? <BR/><BR/>50% heavier?<BR/><BR/>Scomargoscomargohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12363220876923479032noreply@blogger.com
