My best playing/sounding guitar is also the heaviest, and it's a Les Paul.
Lol.. I’m not gonna lie.. I bought it pretty cheap(ish) from the Gibson Demo shop..£10 is awfully cheap for a Les Paul.
I’ve always preferred a heavier guitar.. (being an ex bass player) .. I recently also bought a 61 Gibson SG reissue and out of the three available, chose the 7lb.4, which was the heavier of the three.My Gibsons weigh in at 10 and just over and sound great. My Epiphone IBG Custom is a full pound lighter and when playing is not really noticable heavier. I dont subscribe to the weight theory. In my experience of 40 odd years its build quality and materials that make the difference. I had a Tokai LS70 f for many years. It weighed 8.9 pounds It felt a little lighter on my shoulder but not much. Sounder great. I always buy by playability and sound. Weight and cosmetics are secondary for me.
That’s a beaut.. ..congratulations!My first Les Paul was a ‘70s Les Paul Custom, so to me, a Les Paul should weigh around 10 lbs.
My latest Les Paul Custom weighs 10.6 lbs.

My #1 is ten pounds. Never thought much about it until I got my Tribute. Still love my #1 so much I made a video about it:My best playing/sounding guitar is also the heaviest, and it's a Les Paul.
... but as we approach our 70s and 80s...also I remember the 70's- 80's if you weren't the fat girl you didn't dance nothing wrong with a portly Les Paul .
