I've seen conflicting information of how much the original klusons weigh.
It seems like the Japanese Gotoh Klusons weigh about 5 1/8oz (~155g) (links below) and the American Klusons are 6 3/4 oz (~191g). Is that really the case?
My klusons work fine, but if they are really 191g and the Japanese ones are like 35g lighter, I might switch since they have a smoother turn ratio and I'm a gotoh fan. Can anyone confirm the weight of the original klusons that come in the LP traditionals ? (mine is a 2009 model)
