Mattw Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 This may be a silly question, but does anyone know the rough differences between the weights of these model LP's? What's the heaviest, lightest and in between. Obviously all models are different, but take for example the LP Gibson classic 2001 that I posted in another thread - what would that weigh compared to a standard and traditional - heavier or lighter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 As you rightly state, there is a wide range of weights between identical models but as a very rough guide... Modern Standards, which are chambered, typically seem to be in the 7 1/2 - 8lb range; Trads, which are weight-relieved, tend to be in the 9 - 9 1/2lb range. Classics vary between type of Classic; whether they are a Classic Custom; 1960 Classic; Classic Antique and so on. Some are chambered and some are weight-relieved. The weights of each type tend to follow the above rough guide. P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattw Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 Right thank you for that, I guess what i'm really asking is Will a 2001 Non chambered classic guitar be closer to the weight of a standard LP or heavier & closer to the 9 - 9 1/2 traditionals?

pippy Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 It will be closer to the Trads. FWIW my two Classics (a '91 and a '95) are 9lb 1 1/2oz and 9lb 0 1/4 oz respectively. P. EDIT : Sorry! I read this thread before I saw your other one. My Bad. I see what you mean now. LOL! Yes; it's likely to be about 9lbs P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yaff Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 My 08 Standard weighs in at 9LB. Although the range is significant, I think the majority of Traditions will be slightly heaver than 08 Standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
