Adding to my weight question:

How well would a carved top T work with a Trem? Do you have to cut the neck angle differently? My plan would

In general, is it a problem to have a hollow Tele (flat or carved top) with a trem? Is that too much missing wood?

My plan is to build a copy of an Anderson Cobra -- hollow or solid (I haven't yet decided) and perhaps with the carved top (or perhaps not). So it would be a Tele shape with a maple top on mahogany with a mahagany/rosewood neck, and two humbuckers.

What do you think?
