Interestingly enough that example Telecaster above was a luthier's custom project, says he heavily chambered the body and used a thinner neck to cut the weight down to 8.5 lbs, which is only half a pound heavier than my ash body American Standard. It's fitted with all Fender hardware, vintage style compensated bridge w/ modern pickups, says it sounds fantastic but of course that's up in the air until it passes through your own ears.
All that being said I'm sure there are other body woods that would look equally as striking with the right finish. I'm a huge sucker for matching neck / body color.
