My 50s Standard is 9.5 lbs (no weight relief), and Studio (ultra modern weight relief) is 8.4 lbs. both are 2021.

So my newest addition, a Bourbon Burst R8 comes in at 8.6lbs. Just thought I would add that to the list.

2011 Standard (“2008 standard”) weighing at 7.7 lbs. This model is a chambered one.

My weight relieved 2010 LP Custom weighs 10lbs 2oz.
My non-weight relieved 2020 LP '57RI weighs 8lbs 6oz.

The Custom is a boat anchor and it feels like it will break any stand that I put it on whereas my goldtop is really light. Only 28oz difference between them but it seems like a ton when you pick them up.

It’s amazing how so little weight can be so noticeable. I remember picking up the R8 in the store for the first time. I sensed right away that it was lighter. I even thought that maybe it was my imagination, how could I tell the difference instantly? But sure enough, it was.
Oh, and I must add that I exchanged the R8 for another. The new one is 8.8lbs.

My '71 LP Custom is a very comfortable 9 lb 12 oz. It still feels pretty heavy compared to most of my guitars so those 11-12 pounders that some of you have must really feel like a boat anchor around your neck.

I felt like my 10lbs 2oz LPC was going to break the wall hanger. I couldn't imagine a 12-pounder :-o
