Heaviest body wood?

Let's have a moment of silence for Jeff Carlisi's back.

I’ll be alright. No way a 7/8 can weigh more than my 6 string bass!

My all-rosewood warmoth strat comes in at a bit over 8 kg, which is approximately 17.6 pounds. I hear the sperzel tuners help keep the weight down, but probably not enough.

Bless you for mentioning that. Sales have been less than brisk. I feel that their appeal has become more selective.

Are you sure @Belch that it isn’t an all-rosewood mammoth strat?

It's why modern rosewood guitars are chambered.

Exactly! I've played a MIJ rosewood tele, and it's not even in the same ballpark. That said, I'd love to see Yngwie try one of his patented 'swirl the guitar around his neck' moves with my warmoth. It would probably be the first ever time a guitarist unintentionally stage dived. Except for Grohl, that is.
