I thought it would be interesting-ish to compare the weights and neck dimensions of various guitars. I wanted to find out how the weights compare to eachother and also how the neck dimensions compare to the published dimensions.
I haven't gotten to the neck dimensions yet (need to order a set of digital calipers from Stew Mac), but here are the weights from high to low. Feel free to add your own.
'06 ESP M-1 Tiger - 9 lb, 14 oz
Just had to throw that all maple tank in there, just for comparison
'03 RG8670TB - 8 lb, 15 oz
'06 RG8620SNT - 8 lb, 5 oz
'06 RGT320QRBB - 8 lb, 0 oz

'87 540P - 7 lb, 4 oz
'90 UCGR "Strung Out" - 7 lb, 4 oz
'87 540SDY - 7 lb, 3 oz
'90 UCGR "Surprise - 6 lb, 15 oz
'90 UCGR "Strung Out" - 6 lb, 15 oz
'91 RBM2NT - 6 lb, 15 oz
'89 540P-SHDY - 6 lb 10 oz
I was not surprised at all that the small body 540P was the lightest guitar, but it surprised me how beefy the J.Customs were. I also found it interesting that the Jems were consistently heavier than the RG-style UCGR's. But my biggest surprise was the RBM2 being so light. Since it's an oil-finished guitar, I'm wondering if it hasn't dried out considerably over the years.
