TBF, you don't notice how heavy it is when you're playing. Or at least, I don't.

Here's my other LP, been through a few forum members, but it's staying with me.

LOVE that red Custom! :thumbup:
I must say: that custom red is sooo sweet. Nice change from all those bursts.
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

I've had pretty serious back issues since I was 3, but I don't play this with my back, so it's ok!

Mahogany? Have you seen the price? No, I just use a sheet of Corflute, preferably a real estate agent sign, screw it on and Stanley knife around the outside.

Yeah, I suppose that's all a "G" guitar deserves.

Oh, that is a good idea Grant. I've got an old '59 that could do with weight relieving. If I bring it round, can you route the back of that one for me too? :roll:
