EuroAussie Posted March 9, 2011 Share 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 it 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 ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eds111 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 It is the Rosewood. Much heavier than mahogany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchabalk Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 don't those usually have a pretty large pickup system in them too? i've noticed the weight when i've played them in the store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
