That is some great craftsmanship. What's the typical weight of a metal bodied guitar fully assembled?

Re: The New Explosion (explorer type guitar)

Wow, this is freaking awesome. I like that you borrowed the tail kink from the Destroyer design. That sheet metal neck is amazing, too.

I'm with Aceman on this, though - you need a pointier headstock, or at least a hockey stick. The one you're planning looks too Fender-ey to my eye.

One thing's for certain. You have some badass metalworking skills.

between 7 and 8.1 lbs
depends on the hardware

That's not bad at all. Much lighter than I was thinking.
