Luggage scales do the job. Can't leave home without it these days (at least when flying abroad). I just climb on my bathroom scale, pick up a guitar and substract.

Due to musical differences I've decided I can't work with myself any more.

I like this guitar, maybe it's not light (but it's almost chambered). The sound of roswell seems very good and I like this kind of funky playing too. I think to get this one ...

I really like the colours of that white TE-90 FLT, love that almost white neck but I can't take the edges and the simplistic looks. So I'll pass on that one. You can have it Not my type of sound, anyway…

I like that semi-hollow a lot more and I would almost want the blue one. The Roswell HAF Alnico-5 appear to be the same as in the Sc-550 Paradise Flame but are they really and do they offer access to wires so coil split can be added easily?

I seem to remember the TE-90 FLT being reported as surprisingly heavy roberto . Maybe you need a tele thinline or the HB equivalent TE90 QMThe TE90 QM is equipped with the same P90 of my JA60 (the Roswell P90 are wonderful for my taste). Also the guy in the video declare that the guitar is heavy ... but i suffer now for a serious gas ... the sound of that Roswell captures my attention and now the 90 % of my soul want this guitar!

I had that guitar (TE-90FLT) and in a weak moment last year sold it, so just got through ordering it again. I can vouch for a terrific sound. If I were playing a lot of hard metal, I'd opt for something else, but for most other stuff it handles very well. A little heavy on the weight, but as I remember not much different than a Les Paul. The neck feels great and I had no problemo whatsoever with the reverse headstock.

I'm thinking to get it ... and I'm now also conscious of the weight of north Ash (i suppose that the body is made of this kind of wood).

Yesterday I sold my amp(for the weight! I will be 60 years old next year)... a Peavey Classic 30 .... so this morning I've ordered TE 90 FLT VW ( I do not know why, in this case the weight has become for me of secondary importance ) and a HB DIY T style Kit ... I think that I will need your future support (it's my first guitar to build) for upgrading, body painting etc.etc.

I solved the amp weight problem with an AC30. Then I bought a bloody Jazz Bass…

I still play through one in the studio it saves yoinking my Fender Champ out of the house but have to lug the Peavey for my mate to play through at gigs. Hence the purchase of a sack trolley! What are you playing through now roberto?

DefJef Now I'm playing at home and in the Liceo/School where I'm working. Occassionally I play in small clubs or stages. In the case of stage I play through two FRFR speakers (light/weight 8" 160 W) and preamp (AMT SS20 or H&K tubeman plus -rack- and FX and OD pedals) and two DI splitter. In the 2000s I did several concerts in this way (clubs or stages). Recently I bought a little amp, small than a pedal (5 W) Hotone nano legacy with a speaker (joyo bantcab - Celestion 8" 20 W) ... I'm really start to appreciating the tone and the weight ... I like them and now, after the selling of Peavey ... I'm waiting the TE 90 etc, and a new little amp (the Joyo BantAmp BlueRay 20 W).
