Maybe a kilo I’d guess, the mirror is only 1.8mm thick but we’re doing front, back and face of headstock. The tele we were sent has a carved top and rear body contour so it’s certainly lighter than a standard slab body(might even be chambered).
We’ve done a few over the years and no one’s ever complained about the weight. Manic street preachers have an Ibanez bass I did years ago for a tour, it got pretty hammered so got a bit…. sharp in places!
I’ve done a thunderbird as well but that weighed as much as an oil tanker already so who’d notice.
As for the tone I can’t think it’s gonna benefit anyone but for a stage banger they do look nifty.
I won’t post any more pics until the client has received and posted. We’re not on an NDA but i shouldn’t give too much away.
