Hi .. sorry if this has been mentioned before but I don’t understand .....
isnt a 8lb 17 oz a nice way of saying it’s 9 lb ?.. lol 16oz is a pound right ? Thanks

Actually it’s 19lbs. 1oz. Who’s doing this? Maybe it’s just a goof.

Are you sure the listing isn't "8.17" lbs?? That is 17 hundredths of a pound?

Your typo says "19" instead of "9". That's where Tom Whittrock got that.

8.17 pounds makes sense. That is a light guitar with the Average Burst weight being ~8.85 lbs

Like you said, 16 ounces in a pound, so 8 lbs 17 ounces is 9lbs 1 ounce.

8.17lbs is roughly 8lbs 3oz. 1lb=16oz :wah
