8 lbs 4 ounces! The True Historic series represents the absolute best of the best of modern Les Paul reissues, and this beast is no different, and it's brilliantly aged by the man himself, Tom Murphy - see pic of his initials cleverly hidden in the checking. The aging is incredible, it's light weight, has a perfect neck angle, and just plays beautifully with nice low action. It resonates like crazy, and sounds so sweet and harmonically rich even unplugged. Neck profile is chunky but not clubby at all. Feels like a nice full R9. Not as big as my R8 at all. Also, this guitar may have the best sustain of any guitar I've owned. Just incredible. It's been recently set-up and gone over by LA Guitar Repair.
And speaking of harmonically rich, I couldn't leave well enough alone on this masterpiece, so I had a set of Ron Ellis LRPs and a Throbak harness installed. If you've never heard these pickups, you should. They're absolutely the sweetest PAF style pickups I've ever ever heard. I put them in basically every guitar I own. I do not have the original pickups or harness, but you'd never want them once you hear this guitar anyway.
Feel free to ask any questions!
