Vintage Les Paul and Burst Weights

[dwagar]

My '53 Goldtop is 8 lbs 10 oz. My '01 R9 is 8 lbs 12 oz, so I guess that's the weigh range I like.

I also suffer a bad back from being an old guy, if it's really bothering me on a gig night I'll take my '57 Special - 7 lbs 3 oz.

My "wuss out" guitar is a Brad Paisley signature tele, Paulownia body, at 5.4 pounds. Although I have a custom shop tele at 6.9 and a custom shop strat at 7.4.

Sorry to hear about the back issue Don. Have you thought about an even lighter guitar for some days? Maybe some sort of SG?

My 2007 R8 is 8lbs 12 oz, but my 1963 Les Paul Junior (SG) is 5 lbs 14 oz!
(My Tele is 6 lbs 13 oz)

EDIT: Never mind man. I just read the ES330 thread. You've got that covered!

Mr. Slub, if you ever allowed me into the room where these guitars are being re acquainted with, I would take up permanent residence inside one of the cases. Neither my wife nor friends or customers would ever hear from me again.
You have impeccable taste, and an incredible collection. Thanks for sharing!
