EuroAussie Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 I don't mean in tone but in actual weight? My recent thread about debating the purchase of a J-45 got me thinking about weight, bracing and top vibrations of guitar. Eminor7 made a great point that my 69 CW is quite heavily braced and doesn't have the same top vibration like a moderd J45 (true) and the J45 is also lighter which I like about the guitar. Which made me wonder why is the SWD so darn heavy?? Is is the bracing, the rosewood b/s? It really is one of the heaviest dreads I've picked up, especially if you compare to the feather wight of a J-45. Any ideas ??
