It weighs 8.48lbs (3.85kg). I don't know what a Gibson SG weighs.

You're right it's 'meatier'. This is because I found that the blank had warped a bit and would not yield enought thickness after squaring the surfaces off.

My 'go to' guy Chris Burn an experienced woodworker suggested the centre laminate (which should be clear in the photos) to give required thickness & complementary grain patterns on front & back surfaces.

So long ago I'd forgotten..LOL!!

Of course this produces an extremely edgy mellowness, out of control feedback which is really easy to manage and ....you guessed it...bucketloads of extra sustain. :D

Just joking.

Thankis for your comments.
