Current weight 4lbs 11oz
I'm sorry, what? That seems very light to me? Am I missing something?

I think that's just the weight of that last image. Just the aluminum part.

Sorry if I missed this, but what's the cutout at the end of the receiver for? Just additional weight relief, but some added stability instead of Bean/EGC style receiver that stops where the bridge is mounted?

Looks super cool Jury, can't wait to test this out for you hint hint hint ;)

forget JPEG, If you convert it to a BPG, should really get that weight down.

Yes- just weight relief. I wanted the body route to be a simple 'neck thru' sort of operation.

Cool, would also give you another place to anchor the neck receiver to the body, maybe relieving some of the issues with cracks around the neck on the TB500s.

It was kinda mentioned earlier but what do you expect the total weight to come in at?
