• 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?

I thought mine was on the heavy side but it looks like i a about par for the course... I appreciate all of the feedback, i was surprised that the Page Authentics were 9lbs 4 ozs, I always heard jimmy's guitars were known for the extreme heaviness...

2014 Standard - 8lbs 4ozs

I even switched the metal jack plate to plastic to cut weight.
Nothing is original now but the pcb and wiring.
Did you know top hat knobs weigh less than speed knobs? .3oz
Aluminum tail piece, bridge and studs

I added Pearly Gates bare bobbin humbuckers! Metal covers add 3.8ozs

2014 R8: 8 lbs, 12 oz
2014 R9: 8 lbs, 15 oz

3 oz difference and they sound dramatically different.
R9 has a great rock lead tone, while the R8 has a very warm blues tone.
