centerblock

and some weight relief

[MWaldorf]

Wow, that's a beefy block! Will it be attached to the front and back of the body or just the neck and heel?

For additional weight relief you could give the block a "swiss cheese" job like Pontiac did to lighten the frames of the Super Duty Catalinas:

It looks bigger than it is
Its still smaller than the blocks in gibson's es types.

Fair enough. Still even if it's not a "big block", there's a nice ring to a Gun Super Duty 421...

I will not use the swiss cheese method in the centerblock I want to preserve as much sustaiiiiin as possible
When you "cheese" a solidbody you stay away from the center also.
Altough I have to make some cutouts for the pickups and to get the pots and switch in.
