Amazing things.

The Les paul models I have aren’t 5 standards or the same model, they’re all completely different models from R8 to BFG and CS Axcess so all offer something completely different with the Les Paul theme
Then once your out cold, start dreaming about the 7th

That's not a joke and would be an excellent choice for weight-reducing inserts - Gibson themselves tried it, but they stupidly called it "Chromyte" (based on the biological name for balsa) which made it sound like some sort of synthetic product. They should have just called it 'lightweight hardwood'... because that's exactly what balsa is, not a softwood.
Otherwise it's pretty hard to get a decent Les Paul much under 8lbs unless you either chamber it or use the sort of soft fibrous crap 'mahogany' found in many Chibsons.

Didn't Parker use a balsa body, shelled in reinforced CF/glass fibre/plastic (or somesuch product)?
One of these days I must weigh some of my guitars, namely the padauk home-build, the LP Custom (mid 80's, but still fairly heavy!) and the Ryder for comparison. Ive never been particularly interested in the weight, and it's not a spec I would ever look at, but it would be interesting to know.

That said I’ve never seen another that light without chambering.
A lot of brands mentioned here aren't authentic.
Play authentic, or we will cut your fucking dicks off and shove it down your throats...

Sounds extremely heavy but the one I played was balanced (not light as such, but very balanced and comfy) and they were pretty affordable if I remember rightly. I think they used a thinner body but still had the full fat les Paul hardware (which tbf is the easy bit).
