• 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!

I don't have scales, but I'd guess my two old Customs weigh between 9.5-10 lbs.

2005 Standard, 10 lbs.

I put on a lightweight tailpiece, took off the guard and covers. It is down to 9.5 lbs. This is using a bathroom scale, so the real difference may be a bit less than half a pound.

My 2002 Std is 9lb even
My bandmates 03 Std is 8lbs 15oz

Measured them using some digital fish-scales, It was a bit creepy hanging them by a tuning peg, but hey that's life on the edge...:)

how do you weigh them

I think most use a bathroom scale. If you do so, place the back of the guitar so it rests atop the scale. IMHO, a scale that can be calibrated provides better accuracy. But a bathroom scale is close enough for hand grenades. :)
