How Heavy is the Epi BB King Lucille?

Yeah, like Jerry said, mine is probably around 8lbs. too (I never actually weighed it) but it's about the same as my Les, that the guy claimed was 8 lbs. when I bought it used.

 

I've seen some HC reviews where people complain about the weight. I think the larger size may add to the illusion of it's weight too.

My Epi Lucille is the heaviest of all my thinline semi-hollow guitars. The combination of closed f-holes, stereo wiring, Varitone switch, brass TR cover, and TP-6 tailpiece all add a little bit of extra weight, so the combined effect is noticeable. But I don't think it weighs as much as my Peavey T-60 --- now that thing will build up some muscles on ya!

 

Oh, and as a keyboard player, I have to laugh at guitarists complaining about how heavy their instruments are. When you've schlepped a B-3, Leslie, a Rhodes, or a Yamaha CP-80 around (or some combination thereof), THEN we can talk heavy!:D
