Weights of necks

[DocNrock]

FWIW, the bloodwood Soloist I just build is an insanely light body.  The "unknown" Bolivian neck was heavier than I expected.  I was worried about a neck-heavy build.  The guitar itself is not light, but not heavy, either.  It is heavier than I expected it to be, but I think that is because of the Floyd and the pups that I chose, not the least of which was the X2N.  That excess weight goes to the body.  This is NOT a neck-heavy build, at all.  It is actually very nicely balanced.

Well a soloist has the horn for the strap that sticks out toward the end of the guitar - so that makes it easier to balance. An explorer has no wood past the neck.

But remember that an Explorer has a whole lot more bulk toward the butt of the guitar body than a star body has.
