I see two Dirty Lemons at 8lb 11ox and 8lb 7oz, a Bourbon Burst at 8lb 14oz and 2 in Wine Red at 8lb 3oz and 8lb 11oz. So that's right about 1lb lighter than the standards which run in the 9s. The Custom shop and Custom Cores seem to run in the mid to upper 8s. These are the Lemon Bursts. You're right. I went back and it was the almond burst finish that had me thinking they were the new ones. Still have the old specifications.

Did you get to hear Pete Farmer when he was pointing out the different select pieces of mahogany. They had the ones for Standards, then for Custom Cores, and then over on the other rack, were the "hold these for special things". Once Sweetwater gets in the Standard II guitars, you'll see exactly how much difference there is since they post the weights of the guitars. Yea, I'm curious about the weight. I got to pick out the woods and neck for my custom 150 with Marv and Jim. It's in the 8lb range, right around 8lbs 16oz😎
