2 people bought one guitar seconds apart from each other and someone else had the guitar in thier basket and applied for finance, again apologies..I've played them all and they're all extremely nice, the slightly heavier ones seem to have more midrange acoutsically

I note that the only one's left are the heavy ones...

Don’t let weight put you off, mine is 9lb 5oz and it sounds bloody marvellous.

9 lb 1oz is right on the money for a vintage burst. Swap the switch cover and it would be 9lb dead. That’s a great weight for an R8. I’ve had heavier historics and it didn’t bother me.

The other two remaining are less than that.

That a good weight?

It's on the heavier side for sure.  It's 30oz or 850g heavier than my 8lb superlight.

'Good', like tone, is subjective

It’s at the top of the range, but I bet there are bursts of a similar weight.

Blimey, will the supply of Custom Shop Les Pauls ever die? Will the appetite of Fretboarders to drop 2.5k ever die? Will this thread ever die? 

I hope not, it’s rather enjoyable as a spectator.

If you have to ask it doesn't matter imo, people like lighter ones for comfort so unless the weight is an issue for you I wouldn't worry.  Some famous players prefer the sound of heavier ones.  Peter Green hated Greeny because he found it too heavy, but then again it's arguably the most famous

Spot on - around 9lb is ideal.

Joe Perry’s 59 as played by Slash in the November Rain video is well over 9lbs

You mean we're actually supposed to play these?  I thought this was my pension plan

Heavy is good.  Heavy is reliable.  If it does not work, you can always hit him with it.
