Thanks. It is very comfortable to play. I originally only selected it because I wanted something totally different to try my first dye job, and that wouldn't be similar to my next builds, but I must say I am impressed with the comfort and playability of the body. A little Strat-Like, but narrower. Mine is a little heavier because I did Mahogany / Maple, but I can imagine they would be very light with Alder.
