Couple of years ago I fitted a set of pickups to a solid granite HSS strat, and a Tele. They made your leg go numb sitting down. Was it worth it finally? Don't know my leg hurt too much.
My R8 is just over 9lb which I find fine but don't want to go heavier. . The Crinson T type (if I say the TV derived caster word Nigel will probably get another fender letter) is 7lb and I wouldn't go lighter - they feel odd when they get neck heavy!
Aye, she's smiling through the tears though.:-)

Noise, randomness, ballistic uncertainty.
It would be much harder for someone like Angus Young to do what he does with a boat anchor guitar.

My PRS CU24 is a 9 and my Strat is an 8, however, I've played some Nash and MJT Teles around the 7lb mark and enjoyed their lightness, and resonance-are they linked?
Give me a nicely balanced heavy guitar over a neck heavy but lightweight one any day!
I think I might have weighed a 'The Strat' which felt like it was made of solid rock too, but I can't remember for sure.
It certainly wasn't part of the buying ritual like it is now. Everyone knew a Les Paul was a heavy guitar and that was that. Now no-one seems to even consider buying a guitar unless they know the weight to the nearest half ounce...
