What are the average weights of LPs?

[Gandalf]

Further to my recent post on the basic differences between various LPs.
I'm lookimg to treat myself, but weight IS a concern.

So could anyone give me an idea of what APPROX weight I should expect from various models please?

I'm thinking current models and over the last few years, as I may buy used.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

For current models, you can go to Sweetwater, and get a sampling

like Traditional non weight relieved

Chambered Studios

Standards

Rtc.

If the links just show the one, click the Compare all x button.

That's awesome. I didn't know you could do this.

You're probably looking on average at upper 8 lbs to lower to mid 9 lbs it seems.

They're all pretty average....kinda like QC

 

[Progrocker111]

In 70s and 80s perhaps 10 lbs.

Right between 7 1/2 and 12 pounds. Right in there somewhere. Most of 'em anyway....on average.

My 1969 Custom was 10 and two oz. my 2014 Studio is 8.7 oz. my 2013 Standard is 9.2 oz.
The old Custom seemed light but I was 17 years old. They all feel like a ton after one hour.
