chaypup Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 They're a good 10 lb's - I just sold mine yesterday funnily enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gub Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 cheers ,so it should be lighter than my aria sb 1000 which comes in at around 5.5 kilos ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaypup Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 By ' a good 10lbs' I meant 'at least' I have since found [url="http://www.grouseguitars.com/sold/ibanezlhroadster.htm"]this[/url] Which says they're 5kg (11lbs) exactly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldude Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I recently sold one too, it's heavy and it feels it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el borracho Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Just weighed my 1981 Roadster - it's 9lbs so they obviously vary. It's always felt much lighter than my 1979 Musician which is 10.5 lbs. Never weighed them until today though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaypup Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Where is he based? Maybe someone can take round some scales and do an independant weigh in for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
