this is the other thing...
I'm in two minds over swamp ash vs northern hard ash.
Tele being a tele and all, the balance point is vastly different from a strat (which is what I'm most used to). If I was getting a strat, I'd be fine with swamp ash in terms of weight. But since it's a tele, I'm thinking northern hard ash might be a better option if I want it to balance well and NOT neck dive.
At this point I don't even give two fucks about tonal differences between the two types of ash. Just weight.
Oh and I decided to say fuck it, and get a body made by Mitch over at KNE guitars who made the body for my Polaris. His prices are reasonable (read: less than warmoth) and his work is flawless.
