  1. My 2001 Classic weighs 9.63 lbs. My 1987 Standard weighs 9.77 lbs. My 1978 Standard weighs 9.67 lbs. All weights done on a digital scale. I personally think they should have just called it weight balancing. The only true weight relieved guitars are the new chambered ones that drop the weight down to the 7 lb range. As far as tone goes, my 78 without holes and 87 with holes (which have the same pickups in them) sound so identical that no one would ever be able to tell the difference. I haven't had a chance to play the 7 lb one through my rig, though, and am curious to give one a try as that 3 less pounds might come in handy for those triple encore nights.
