Big neck (R8 style), and not heavy (no easy way for me to measure). To date, the most rewarding Explorer I've played. The OX4 pickups in it are very well suited.

Damn you effortlessly skinny blokes who don't need bathroom scales. Next you'll be telling us you still fit the clothes you used to wear when this was made.

Very cool guitar though, about the only "traditional" guitar I'd own (I get on with Explorers way better than I do with LPs).
The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.
