I had a '68 custom that I remember as being extremely light .
I am looking to build one to get the same feel as my old guitar but I have seen "light" guitars that weigh 7-8 lbs and I would not call them light .I would call these medium weight .
What is the weight of your light weight Tele ?

My lowest weight Tele is just under 7 lbs. It is a 50's Road Worn. Hope that helps!

From what I see people writing the average weight seems to be just over 7ibs but I remember seeing somewhere the the pine and emperess teles will weigh quite a bit less than that.

I have a couple of guitars round about the 7lb mark and compared to my old Tele they weigh a lot more .So I think I going to aim for something around 6lb or less .

I wish I had a lightweight. Mine feels heavier than any other Tele I've ever held.
