My #1 partscaster started w/ a MJT alder body. I have a compressed lumbar disc (see my avatar), so I have been cycling thru several lightweight headless options in the last few years (Steinberger, Kiesel, Strandberg); great playing instruments, but not as toneful... Finally tried an Eden paulownia strat body to replace my alder MJT, very impressed not only w/ the weight reduction but also the tone (slightly more "zingy" in the upper mids). As for the "balsa wood" comments, I have not had any problems, but my trem is decked & blocked.
