Any online stores/websites that have accurate guitar weights listed?

Post by Hollowpoint »

I tried out a really nice Yamaha Revstar yesterday. It played really well, had a nice wide neck and was quite light which is kind of a necessity for me after years of back troubles. It wasn't exactly what I wanted but I thought I might order a different model. After reading a bunch of different reviews and comments it seems there maybe quite a variation in weight between the models (or at least in people's perceptions of weight!). It seems a little weird to me that weight is rarely listed in guitar specs so I wondered if anyone had come across a site that does it themselves?

Thanks!

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

I'll def let you know but it could be a while by the sounds. The guy I was talking to at musicworks said their orders had been held up for months due to the rosewood restrictions/certifications. He thought it would still take a while for that to sort itself out even once the restrictions are lifted.

Oh, their direct mail I'm sure they listed the weight. Maybe I'm getting mixed up with Wildwood.
