I had an 85 maple body baretta that would make my left arm numb after about 30 minutes of standing. That thing was a tank.

Agile AL-2500 with the Floyd. It's got 24 frets and was actually slightly neck-heavy. So I had to do a weight/balance modification that involved routing a big hole in the tail and installing a lead-filled length of pipe, adding about a pound to a guitar that was already over ten pounds.

Yamaha SG2000, about 20 years ago, like wearing a coffee-table.

I had one of those Ibanez Artist's at my house last Summer (had all my neighbor's gear at my house while he sold his house) and it was very heavy. But my local dealer has a Jem 20th and it is heavy as hell! He says they weighed it and it was 30 lbs.!!

I had a 77 les paul custom that was heavy as hell, and those Ibanez artists were heavy too, but I played an ESP Kamikazee that really sticks out in my mind as one of the most shockingly heavy guitars I've ever played.

I don't know that it was heavier than the LP, I just wasn't expecting it to be as heavy as it was.

Great guitar though.

I think I am the frontrunner in this category fellas! It's too bad I don't have a better pic because this was back in 2001, but here's a guitar I had that was CNC'ed out of one solid block of aluminum.

IIRC it weighed 18 pounds...and sounded like crap, too!

Other than that, my aluminum-neck Kramers are hefty.





Keep rockin,

Another vote for an all-maple Mock...heavy sucka!
