Another tele I built

[Dave Locher]

Walnut is an interesting wood. The walnut guitars I have played were pretty heavy though.

It ain't light!! Mine will be semi-hollow. I built the same basic body out of lightweight mahogany a few years ago and it is almost too light so this time I chose dense, heavy walnut. As long as the body comes in at 5 pounds or less I will be happy. My heaviest guitar has a 5lb 3oz body so that's my upper limit. I can just whittle away until I hit a good weight.
