I played around with the new guitar some last night and thought the neck felt 'heavier' than on my other instruments so . . . .
tested the balance point: just behind the neck plate at this point, it'll move back into the body some more once the pickups and electronics are installed but with the pickups being single coil alumi tones they aren't all that heavy . . . the neck falls nicely into the hand when sitting though, and a little pressure of the right forearm fixes the instrument in place nicely . . . no strap buttons yet, but I don't think there will a tendency for neck dive as the balance point in already behind (if not by much) were the neck button will go.
tested weight: . . . holy mackerel . . . only ~ 5.5 lb for the whole instrument right now, that's less than just the body of my mahogany jazzmaster (let alone after installation of the pRails pickups) . . .
