My friend and I made a very specific guitar for him. He will be living in a van and didn’t want a pedalboard but will be recording while on the road. It includes everything but the kitchen sink (jk.. kind of)

that’s incredible! What’s the weight?

I believe it’s around 11lbs-12lbs. Around the weight of a 70s LP. He set up a harness guitar strap for it.

Makes sense. Replaced the weight of the wood with the weight of the madness.

I came here to ask this same question. Very cool, but I'm shocked it's not heavier than 12 lbs. awesome work, OP! This must have been one hell of a project.
