Larry Corsa builds some incredible guitars, and this one is no exception. Just couldn't bond with it, and have been playing Teles more these days. This particular model weighs in at 6 pounds, 12 ounces, and has superb resonance and sustain. The pickups have been swapped out for Klein PAF humbuckers, otherwise the stats are as below from Larry's site.
Of note, the pictures are of the OE state of the guitar. The Klein pickups look identical to the Manalishi pickups pictured, and the guitar has all 4 knobs as foil tops. Otherwise, it's the same. The guitar is in phenomenal shape, and the next to nothing finish is ideal.
