Re: Weight saving

Don't think much weight can be saved by introducing alternative materials on otherwise traditionally built steels. Too many design elements for the "strings on body" concept are fixed in form/shape/materials already.

Of course, for my own "strings on neck" concept nothing but the neck itself is somewhat "fixed" - for tone mainly, so I will probably be able to keep weight a bit lower than for a traditional build with same capacity without compromising on tone or mechanical stability. That's another cup of tea entirely though ;)
