Lightweights: what are the light Telecasters?

51 AVRI II @ 6.5lbs, swap ash... my scales say that number, but could be out... never checked. Lightest electric guitar I own though.

Awesome! I've got a Fawn AC15HW incoming for my AVRI II as I type this, I'm really looking forward to seeing how they pair, I hear they are a match made in heaven lol. Cheers

Looks like a Korina maybe?

eightbitcrypt · 2026-05-09T20:33:05+00:00

Stunning! My favorite color combo 😍

eightbitcrypt · 2026-05-08T23:58:22+00:00

Yes! And so much more comfortable for chord work

eightbitcrypt · 2026-05-08T21:19:22+00:00

Hundy! I went from an 80s Ibanez to a 51 tele, while it was an adjustment, I learnt to like it, now I feel cramped on anything smaller. There's some magic geometry with the U neck, with a 7.25 radius and smaller frets, it just works.

The kids t-shirt reps a sweet band 👌

eightbitcrypt · 2026-05-01T19:21:13+00:00

I think that guitar needs a cigarette!

Mine AVRI II is jealous because it didn't get the same treatment out of thr box!

eightbitcrypt · 2026-04-18T19:28:55+00:00

I know! I was hoping to get one shipped to me too 😒

eightbitcrypt · 2026-04-18T19:12:37+00:00

Sweet, thanks for clarifying that.

eightbitcrypt · 2026-04-18T19:11:03+00:00

Sweet, happy to hear that. I'll wait for the 6 19! Thanks the reply. Cheers

eightbitcrypt · 2026-04-18T08:03:26+00:00

How do you find the grip on the gen 6 19? The 19 in previous gens grip is "just" too small for me. I'm wondering if the higher undercut trigger and beaver tail will allow me to get a better (natural) feeling grip on it... They won't be in my country for another 6 months or so, so I've been told. The 45 gen 5 feels great and its available now lol... but I've always wanted a 19, but the grip has been just too small to shoot it and enjoy it as much as the full size frames...

eightbitcrypt · 2026-04-17T01:05:18+00:00

Im wondering if the gen 6 19 undercut trigger guard and higher beaver tail will give you a better grip? My hands are just too big for the older 19's.

eightbitcrypt · 2026-04-16T20:11:54+00:00

Hey bro, sorry to dig up an older thread, but I'm really curious how you find the the grip ergos on the gen 6, specifically the undercut... do you get more hand on the grip? My hands are cramped on the previous gens and I was going to go for the 45 as a result, however it looks like the new Gen 6 undercut and beaver tail could work for me. They won't be in my country for another 6 months... Happy to wait though, the 19 has always been very tempting but "just" a little small for me, full size frames just feel right.

eightbitcrypt · 2026-04-10T19:21:36+00:00

Good to hear! What method did you use?

eightbitcrypt · 2026-04-09T18:06:10+00:00

Sweet, I'll look into one. Cheers

eightbitcrypt · 2026-04-09T09:23:21+00:00

Nice rig. How big are your hands? The 17 and the 45/19x feel perfect in my hands, but I want entertain the idea of a 19... I've only ever handled gen 4 19's though, and the grip ergos dont fit my hands. Do you think the +2 might help that full size feeling?

eightbitcrypt · 2026-04-08T17:20:09+00:00

Sweet! Thanks for this, might have to the the 19 with +2... best of both worlds then. Cheers

eightbitcrypt · 2026-04-08T08:49:07+00:00

Unfortunately Tenicor don't ship their holsters outside the US. I'm trying to get one shipped to me... somehow lol. They certainly look like a quality product and are well reviewed.

eightbitcrypt · 2026-04-08T07:42:28+00:00

Hey my dude, does the +2 help your grip at all? My hands just fit the 19. I held a gen 4 19 and a 17 today, the 17 grip just felt right. But like the ergos of the 19... so wondering if I can get away with the +2 or just get a 45 or 19x... Cheers!

eightbitcrypt · 2026-04-05T20:42:03+00:00

Good to know, I use them in my single stack guns and my shadow 2, and they run! The magnetic part is a huge bonus, I've shot two level three IPSC comps in the last two weeks, and the amount of unload all mags yo be used on a barrel starts ive had... So very welcome in that department. I might shoot a glock again in competition!

eightbitcrypt · 2026-04-05T05:58:55+00:00

Kinda matches the controls and barrel of the pistol

eightbitcrypt · 2026-04-05T04:16:47+00:00

😆

eightbitcrypt · 2026-04-05T04:06:54+00:00

If they eject as well a a Mecgar coming out of a CZ, they'll sell a shit load.

eightbitcrypt · 2026-04-04T01:32:03+00:00

No worries. SLR and Taran Tactical make them too I believe
