It's very pertinent to me at the moment - my favourite guitar for sound is a Les Paul right now but it's a lot heavier than I'd prefer. When I play my PRS Custom 24 I absolutely love how light it is but hate the neck pickup so I've been thinking if I get a Custom 22, could I get the lovely lightness of the PRS Custom with the sound of the Les Paul.
I was surprised with the conclusion in the video - when I've been searching and asking around (including a thread on this forum) there doesn't seem to be the debate that there is with tonewood - there seemed to be a consensus that everyone accepts the size/shape/weight of the body definitely affects the tone, the debate is just whether the type of wood makes a difference when the size/shape/weight are the same. But this video concludes that none of those matter - the tiniest slither of material that will physically hold the hardware in place sounds the same as a huge slab like a vintage LP.
I actually took the fretboard off the heavy one and it's still waiting to be taken apart to do something else with it, that was a few years ago now
The trouble is i compared it to a 56 goldtop

Genuine question, I'm not implying anything.

a single note in a rather high pitch is not a good data sample in a scientific point of view.
Then again, he was going for YouTube clicks to make money rather than trying to publish scientific research to further human understanding.
