While "true", we need to define what he means when he says "heavy", in the sense of Pounds and ounces. For ex. I consider Les Pauls and Explorers to be "medium" weight, so anything lighter than a strat is definitely "light" to me
And the final weight of the wood also depends on a few other factors than just species, such as how dense the grain is (varies from tree to tree), how well it was dried, and (if it´s currently unfinished) how humid it is where he is this time of year, so it´s not unthinkable for this piece to be atypically hefty
The defined grain structure still bothers me on the Poplar theory, though... most poplar is more "subdued" in texture..... I can´t shake the feeling that I´ve seen this before....
