I thought it would make for an interesting discussion.
In contrast, the Gibson mahogany question has been gone over many times. It always lands with true generalisations countered by someone saying every guitar is different.
Cheers. Just wanted a local perspective on it really out of interest.

Good summary. Just let me add you might not want to be holding Ryman shares in 15 years time.
Or Gibson shares.

The weight of Les Pauls does seem to vary widely, from my recent experiences. The R9 Anniversary I had was really light, and on the other end of the scale(s), was a Slash LP that was like a bloody boat anchor.

And, while every one goes on about weight, light doesn't necessarily translate to mind blowing tone.

Nor does old if you listen to those with the experience.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

I see dudes with light basswood bodies and bolt on necks built yesterday create incredible sound and it makes me think.. it's gotta just be the pickups / hardware.
On the other flip I see musicians with vintage treetunks of mahogany glued together and they're getting similar sound.. so you start thinking, it's all in the fingers?
Reminds me of a quote I once saw;
"gear obsession is a fools path to procrastination of practice".
