Light weight for sure. It was suggested that I use pegs rather than metal tuners but I would need to insert plugs into the headstock to give them a harder wood to work with. I screwed up this morning. I was routing the trussrod slot and one of my clamps let go on my guide. Why was I using plastic clamps? Shaved off 3/16" and started again but with metal clamps. Going to have a thicker heel cap it seems.
The 2x3 is light, it is hard enough to find straight grained wood that is not cut right out at the pith but finding a light one also is. Also looking for a higher grain count, most are juvenile trees. But I have been looking for a while. I glue up the sides so that the grain will be angled out, makes for better carving than if you flip the piece over as shown. Going to have an aluminum trussrod epoxied in.
