steviedee Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Why are they sooooo heavy, I use mine in one tune at the moment and it feels like a bloody anchor halfway through! It is 23 minutes long mind you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-bitch Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 That's what galls me about my 6 string. Although it's my own fault for spec'ing a wenge obdy and 35" scale, it was only ever going to be monstrous.... sounds great though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wenge/ash thru-neck 36" scale RIM Custom 5 weighs almost exactly 9lbs, an ounce or two lighter than my '87 Warwick Streamer 4.

Never actually weighed them come to think of it, I just play em!! Can't wait to see your RIM Custom on Sunday, but I fear I may then get ideas....
