The body weighs 3 lbs. 14 oz. I feel very strong you could take the overspray off. You see inside under the pickup assembly and worm hair bridge route the hairs are still there as with orig finish inside. THE BODY IS COOL, and it appears it was Desert Sand at one time (Custom Color) then sprayed Olympic White (Custom Color). The overspray appears that they did this while guitar was together. The tape off the assembly neck plate etc and over it White Nitro. Hey it's what everyone did then. It looks COOL AS HECK AS IT IS, but with small work you could have a Olympic White PRE CBS 1961 Strat Body!
1961 ORIG 4-61 FENDER STRATOCASTER BODY
