Hi guys,
This is my first post, I'm hoping that I'm doing this in the correct way and that my English is alright (I'm from Denmark).
I'm considering building my first and ultralight telecaster from a (Warmoth custom) hollow roasted ash body (contoured heel) and an unfinished roasted maple Indian rosewood (dark) neck. Tv Jones classic pu's. SS frets, compound radius, some lightweight locking tuners, control cavity on the back, flat standard fender bridge.
I'm going to use this as a three-way switch

These strap buttons

These strap blocks

And probably these locking tuners

I have three questions:
1.) Will it be neck heavy? The roasted neck will be light, I guess, I don't know how light it is going to be with the Indian rosewood though. If so, could it be remedied by placing the strap button on the neck plate (I've tried this before with success).
2.) Can I buy some aftermarket saddles for the American Standard bridge? I don't particularly like the look of the matte ones that it comes with.
3.) How do you like my guitar idea? As mentioned it will be my first, did I overlook anything?
Thank you!
