all elements must fall or (selector, controls, bridge)
it is not lightweight, but it is much lighter than a les paul ...
to get a good sound, just plug and play ..
like the first, I modified the mail: Wiring paul 50's wiring and capacitors (oiled paper NOS)
I also placed strings d'addario chrome Oct. 48)
I set the harmonics and height of bridges .. a bit of a fender product and cleaning lets go!
