Greetings,
Someone's need information, I played my friends t-60 (it was a natural finish) while out of town a while ago, and recently put one on lay-away. My question is why are finished t-60s lighter than natural finishes?
Thanks

On the painted finished guitars a different wood was used. I forgot which wood, but it is lighter that the natural finished wood.

Painted are Poplar.
Natural are Swamp Ash
The Ash is noticeably heavier.
Maybe as much as a pound or two.

Re: Regarding t-60 question
The Naturals are "Northern" Ash, not "Swamp" ash. The latter is considerably lighter in weight (and softer, from a workability standpoint) than the former.Miles Stone wrote: ↑Mon Feb 26, 2024 8:24 pmPainted are Poplar.
