The heaviest instruments you ever played

[atomic charvel guy]

by far, be it Gibson or jackson, Firebirds have always been very heavy to me, and when they are top heavy they are a headache but they are so fukkin' cool.

string bass, 30 pounds.

[NextInLine]

les paul custom from the 70's. Can't remember the exact year. My ke-3, from 1995 or 1996 I believe, is also very heavy, easily the heaviest jackson I have owned. Nice chunky tone!

Yeah that ke-3 (96 btw) is one of the heaviest I've played also. And my kelly weighs nearly the same

[clifffclaven]

my 78 lp standard. maple neck, easily 13 lbs or more. its a one set guitar, at best.

[emperor_black]

string bass, 30 pounds.

you serious??

the heaviest I played and owned was a zakk wylde epi. Thanks to Jacksons, I dont think I will own a heavy guitar anymore.

BC Rich Explorer bass
BC Rich KK Wartribe Warlock
Moser 10

I recall a small article in Guitar World or GFTPM (circa 1993) about a dude who had lightning-shaped home built bass. It had maple neck-thru and EBONY wings. I can't imagine how much it weighted.

I knew a guy who had a late 70s Strat which weighed about as much as a small car. It was almost like it was made of concrete. Didn't sound great either...

A good friend of mine has a 1976 Strat that falls into this category. It's the heaviest and worse sounding Fender Strat on the planet. Needless to say, he fucking loves it! :ROTF:

My 69 es1275 and my 85 soloist they weigh about the same.

[CharvelRocker]

I played an acrylic BC Rich Warlock awhile back that had to weigh over 15 pounds. I would say my Washburn Dime 2ST weighs around 12 pounds as well.

My eds 1275 and 85 soloist they weigh about the same.

Although likely not the heaviest I had was an early 80s Ibanez Artist in creme, much like the 1st pic in this thread. It felt like a stone on my shoulder. I would have kept it but it didn't balance well on my leg while sitting down, so I had to play it standing up which led me to sell it.

my schecter strat solid koa body & rosewood neck. LP heavy
& an all maple mockingbird, i have other all maple BCRs & this one is is much heavier than the others

[SEEGERMANY]

I just weighed my 57 LP Custom. It tipped the scales at 11 lbs. The EDS-1275 weighed in at 12 lbs. I can't fathom strapping on guitars that weigh in the 17 lb. range.

[pagemalicious]

A Washburn 7 string I used to own. I used to get bad back ache from playing with that damn thing. Played like shit too.

Most Gibson Les Pauls

Bc Rich mick tompson, surprisingly very heavy

my PRS is kinda heavy too. but not overly heavy
