I'm so sorry to hear this. I looked at this and my first thought was the year he was born was the year I graduated from high school. Just not fair, way too young. RIP.
I just looked around on Sweetwater and it appears they have these in stock in several finishes. I didn't look at them all but the lightest one I saw was 9 lbs 7 oz and the heaviest was 9 lbs 15 oz.
That is just a superb guitar Brent! You need to take the oath to never sell that one, 8lbs 6oz is insanely light for an LP custom style guitar, and as we age that becomes more and more important. Enjoy your new beauty!
A friend of mine has a Tokai Love Rock and it is a stellar guitar! - Good luck with Mrs Satan, folks like that are hard to deal with. One can only hope she will change her ways.
Thanks for all of your insightful posts Josh. It's a shame when things happen that make one feel the need to step away. I'll be looking forward to your return to the forum. Scott
