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.)Originally Posted by ICBM
The heaviest I've ever held was a 3000 that I think weighed 14lbs, and I've come across a couple of Gibsons that must have been close to that. The only heavier guitar I've ever come across is an Ibanez 'Jimmy Page' doubleneck copy that weighed 16lbs.
They really do feel like they're not made of wood when they get up into that range.
It is the most shattering experience of a young man's life, when one morning he awakes, and quite reasonably says to himself: "I will never play the Dane"
