Guitar weight

[WezV]

it doesnt mean a quartersawn neck will strip out, just that the grain orientation make it more likely to with frequent removal.  for that reason i prefer to use threaded inserts hwen using quartersawn maple for bolt on necks

I find the weight of the Vociferator (think it's a bit under 9lb) if anything a touch on the light side for gigs. I find it gets naturally 'thrown around' a lot while I'm moshing. With me being a moderately big fellow, any smaller/lighter and it'd look like a toy. But thankfully it's not a toy and is just about heavy enough :)
It feels very odd to pick up my Ibanez now (not that I often do, mind). Just feels as though there's nothing there, which doesn't feel very stable when you're mashing the strings like the Monkey Boy I am. I think that's why I prefer a much heavier guitar.

Weight is a comfort factor for me either. When playing at home it doesn't matter too much but on a four hour gig it does.

On the other hand a guitar that has a too light body can be head-heavy which to me is the ultimate discomfort in playing.

tbh, i am really happy with 9lb for your guitar ( i know youa re too ;) ) - its really rather light considering its a solid wenge, bubinga, maple and ebony baritone.

But you've seen how hard I hit the strings ;)
