It plays wonderfully, although I might lower the action a tad to suit my taste better, put .009s instead of .010s, and tune down a half-step for playing with the band.

Very cool. How much does it weigh?
It's not a restring until I'm bleeding.

To my surprise, it feels incredibly light. I expected such a large slab of wood to be heavier, but it feels much lighter than my Les Paul. I don't have a scale to get the exact weight, but according to this page, the combined weight of all the components is close to 7 lbs (3.1 kg)

I happen to own a white 84 Explorer (identical, same year and all, to the one Hetfield used to play in the early days of Metallica.) and it is surprisingly light. I am pretty sure my poplar super strat and my 80s Charvel are heavier. It is quite surprising because you see a guitar that big and you think that it is gonna be a back breaker, but it is totally the opposite.M11 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 07, 2023 10:32 pmTo my surprise, it feels incredibly light.
