What is the average weight for a Reissue? What do yours weigh?

[GuitarGuy503]

I'm new to the reissue world... What do they usually weigh in at? How much do yours weigh? Reissue bodies are completely solid aren't they (no weight relief?). Thanks.

8 to 10 pounds.

Hey man, I would definitely recommend you check out Mark's Guitar Loft website. He has tons of great reissues for sale with very detailed descriptions of each. Neck measurements, weight, etc etc, and awesome pics.

hm.... The Reissue bodies are solid aren't they (no weight relief)?

Yes, they're solid, but must use quite low density lumber.

My '01 R9 weighs 8 lb 11 oz (8.7 lb, 5.3 kg). Fairly typical of the weight of a 50s carved top Les Paul, a shame it isn't one in any other respect.

just got my R0 the other day and it weighs 8.2 lbs

 

[Slidewinder]

My 04 R7 weighs 8.4 lbs.

 

[68Custom]

Most that I've owned have been about 9 to 9.5 lbs.

 

[Curlymaple]

My 07 57 BB weighs 9.3lbs, 07 R9 9.1lbs and 08 68 RI with 5pc flame maple neck weighs a whopping 10.2lbs.

 

[Tuxedo Kaz]

My R8 weighs 8.55lbs. It was the sister of a same finish R8 I was offered (both from CCM) that weighed in at 2/10ths of a pound less (8.35lb).

Some of the 50th R9s are RIDICULOUSLY light. I know Saul had one that was 7.70lb!!!

 

[Deep]

My new 09 R8 weighs 8.54 lbs.

What sometimes get confusing is expressing the weight
as a decimal as opposed to Pounds and Ounces.
9.5 Pounds, is 9 lbs. 8 oz.
9.6 Pounds, is 9 lbs. 9.6 oz.
Many people I talk to think that when they see 9.6 Pounds
the guitar weighs 9 Pounds 6 Ounces, which is not correct.
One Pound equals 16 Ounces.

my 08 R9 weighs aruond 4.15 kg which equals 9.13 pounds

 

[djlogan33]

My 2006 R8 Washed Cherry Plaintop VOS weighs 9.2-pounds
My 2002 R8 Butterscotch Flametop weighs 8.7-pounds.

It's my understanding that most non-chambered reissues average weight 9-pounds.

 

[PunkerJon]

I don't know how much my R8 weighs, But I can tell you it is not as heavy as Black Sabbath

 

[Adwex]

My made in 2000 R7 weighs 9.1 lbs.

 

[Lefty Elmo]

My Rossington weighs 8lb;12oz.
