My concrete telecaster. I used a lightweight mix that I mixed up myself using perlite as the aggregate. If you want to see the process, click here

Fascinating! Great sound and a great job, Roger!

How much does the body actually weigh?

Thanks, Lincoln. It only weighs 12.5 lbs which, according to Virgil, is the same weight as the Silver Willow, so i guess I'm in pretty good company

Thanks, Ross. I definitely had some challenges, but it was worth it. I love the look on people's faces when they see it
