Damn, almost like OP didn't know that when they made the thread huh! FFS.A ? after the word relieved in the thread title would have been more appropriate
Especially when the OP is wrong

I only have one with weight relief and I don't really mind it, not sure why so many people avoid it so strenuously. I have found over the years that the weight-relieved ones have a tiny bit of a midrange honk that the non-relieved ones don't (and the more relief/chambering, hollowing, etc. there is the more of that honk is present) but that's kind of a good thing for a lot of styles so I like having the option.
I'm thinking that might just be the dense wood (if its the 9 hole) rather than the relief. I do agree chambering starts to become a tone-altering aspect - due to the sheer amount of wood removed you are getting more toward a semihollow type construction.I have found over the years that the weight-relieved ones have a tiny bit of a midrange honk that the non-relieved ones don't (and the more relief/chambering, hollowing, etc. there is the more of that honk is present)
