• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

How much does your Les Paul weigh?

the other guitarist in our band has couple of 90's classics and mine seems notably heavier than both of his... i was surprised at the weight difference between them... it is no wonder that Jimmy is beginning to slump a little as the years pass...

my 2005 standard is 9.7 pounds I believe. I just weighed myself and then weighed myself and the guitar and subtracted.

It doesn't feel very heavy at all too me though. Obviously compared to strats which I was used to it is but its definitely not uncomfortably heavy.

+/- 73 Custom 10 lbs. I absolutely dont care for the weight. Give me 12 lbs Norlin every day. I am not used to light guitars, they seem like toy to me.

My '01 R9 is 8.75, my '74 Custom is in the 10 range.
The older I get, the more I see to notice the weight of the Custom, especially after a 3 hour gig.
