They really do feel like they're not made of wood when they get up into that range.

I've read that Jerry Garcia's "Tiger" was around 13 1/2 lbs. He used that on loads of marathon Grateful Dead gigs. No wonder he was so partial to the opiates! (Although, to be fair, he wasn't running about like Angus Young with the thing.)
