cheers guys, she is a beaut, the pics don't really do her justice, the bass is immaculate, has to be played to be believed!

Not sure but I'll jump on the bathroom scales when I get in, there is a fair bit of wood involved hear so I suspect it will be north of the 10lb mark.

Just over 10.5 lbs so not a light weight but it is very well balanced.

Nope, its really well balanced, no neck dive etc, I have a frozen shoulder & can still play ok with it, strap wise I'm using a chepo levi which is comfy(ish) I'd like to get something wide and soft leather but can't find anything anywhere so if anybody knows where they can be picked up drop me a line!
