I just grabbed my first Gibson in at least 10 years, which is a 2019 60s Standard in Bourbon Burst. It weighs 9lbs, 15 ounces.

so a question just out of curiosity - what's the weight of yours? Don't forget to specify make, model and year.
First your Gibberish Quoting Mike is out of line you should be banned for being a dick no SUPER DICK !

Second asking Mike how much his Les Paul weight's and to be Specific now your acting like a ass clown with your 17 post's .........!!!!!!

Third Mike is one of the people whom keep this Forum Rolling you really need to COOL IT You need to regulate your MOUTH ............!!!!!!!!

Disclaimer : You will not be taken seriously , I will not engage you after this !

Seems rather a harsh response to a question from a newish member who doesn't know Mike Slub as one of the forum owners nor that he has a large collection of Les Pauls.

I see no undertones in either the response from Mike to the original question Zinouchat nor the question to Mike.

We seem to get this type of response every time newbies ask questions which may have been asked several times before but are still new and valid to them.

Or am I missing something here?


By the way. My 73 LPC weighs 9lbs dead, still too heavy for me nowadays so I alternate with my lighter guitars

Obviously not. What were they ? The strange links ?

This isn't my dogfight. I just can't see what's off.
