Two-piece center-seam construction.

Estimated unfinished body weights:
Typical ’50s/’60s-style Telecaster body (1.75 in thick): approximately 3 lb 6 oz.
Typical ’50s/’60s-style Stratocaster body (1.75 in thick): approximately 2 lb 15 oz.

These estimated body weights are based on the measured density of this individual blank and typical ’50s/’60s-style body designs, informed by our manufacturing experience. Actual weight will vary with body thickness, pickup and control routing, bridge or tremolo routing, contours, chambering, and the amount of wood removed. Estimates are for the machined wood body only, before finish and hardware, and are not guaranteed finished weights.

PLEASE NOTE: Guitar body blanks are shipped exactly as pictured, uncut and unshaped.

If you would like your blank machined into a guitar body, you must purchase both the body blank and the custom body in the same order.

When configuring your custom body, select “Body Blank Purchased In This Order” from the Wood Type dropdown menu.
