The tuners alone will be 680 grams (1.5 lbs).
If Mica can get me the average density for each of the woods involved, also the brass, and the weight of the electronics + pickups.
I can get a very good estimate of the total weight.

Rob,Fish,
Tears for John, single DW, weighs exactly 5kgs.
As my DDW would get only one electronic set you could guess
what it would weigh.
I think Mica is busy on doing an estimate for me....serious.

Rob,
This looks awesome. Wow. Top wood of the peghead vermillion.
Could you install the miniswitches as on ms DW and the input jack?

Step 5.5 ...
The miniswitches are steel, not plastic as it looks on your picture. I moved the neck selector a little closer to the bridges.
The shadows are volumes/raytraced, took 106 min to render the full size picture (3400x2300).

Rob,
wow wow wow.
Yes the switches are steel, also on TFJ.
Could you bring the pickupselector a very small bit towards the master vol?
The vermillion tops on the heads and what do you think of standard oval inlays on the 8string neck?
(see also my mail to you)

Having fun with textures... learning how to get reflective surfaces. WIP.
Can anyone tell me what the font is that is used on the pickups?

Wow Rob! For a guy who doesn't play an instrument, you're a very talented guy. It's been really exciting to watch an idea come to life. It's just spectacular.
I really hope you do in fact build this Oliver. It'll become a Alembic classic.
