I believe that shot of Pearly was done at Gibson for specking out the reissue's.

No, that's at Rockin' Robin [Houston Texas]. I think they were trying to do a photo shoot of the wood, so they could match that top.
Probably taken 20 years ago.
This description from the exhibition "Play it loud" on the Met, said Jimmy Pages Les Paul weighs between 9-10 lbs.

This isn't accurate. it's mid 8.
I'm fascinated to know every detail of Jimmys #1, the true weight is perhaps the first. Could you please elaborate on
how you came across this intriguing detail please ?
While we're at it can we clarify the figures for the sake of consistency (avoid possible confusion)
For example ; 9.5 can be 9lb 5oz, or 9lb 8oz .
Some have included lb and oz others havent. Hope I'm not being overly pedantic..
In Sol's defence, I don't think he didn't know this. Probably just wanted to make sure no one else wrote one thing and meant another.9.5 IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE 9 pounds 8 ounces.
It can be no other way.
How you could clarify this more is beyond me...
9.5 pounds could NEVER be 9 pounds 5 ounces...(that would be 9.3125 pounds)
Sheesh. What are they teaching in skool theeses days?

Too bad we can't use kilogram's instead... But that's too much of a logical system without any confusion :laugh2:
Thanks thin sissy, much appreciated. In the UK my generation were educated in both Metric and Imperial as despite the changeover to metric, almost all of us used Imperial routinely. The idea that 9.5 can only, and to the exception of all else only ever mean 9 pounds 8 ounces is so dumb I just can't bring myself to engage with it, but with an English University education I don't want to appear more stupid than I already am.
I genuinely love this place, I really do but the need of the few to leap upon any opportunity however fasile to look like the big brain in the room just drains the joy out of being here.

Sol.
Please accept my apologies.
I understood you and understood what you were driving at.
I don't think a lot of peeps think about it.
I wuz having a bit of fun wit it and I am somewhat thankful youze brought it up as some needs reminding every once in a while.
The only way I could be classified as a big brain is if I were compared to a trout...
that’s a fair request ..usually the lack of mentioning oz or lb is by sellers wanting their instruments to falsely appear lighter
