Guitars at 8lbs or under?

Amps in the fireplace? Maybe you get a resonance factor eh?
an echo effect?

I used to lean my guitar against the (cold) wood stove to try and
get her to behave better and stay in tune... But I learned to change
the strings was more effective.

Oh and... nice SG!

That area was my 'bass nook', had the bass amp slid back in there, but got to re-arragnging. The fireplace is de-comissioned (in addition to being very damaged inside we now have a heat pump) The other amps are spread that way for when I'm using my larger WTW board, which is fun.

The HotRod Deluxe is basically stored there being almost useless for home use, I play very quietly at home, the amps are basically 'pedal platform' amps. I pull that out when playing with a drummer, but the local rental spaces all include decent amps, so I don't use it much at this time.

And the SG - damn! It's my new number one. Why didn't I get one years ago?!
 
Well I got G and L 5 string bass in trade ash body straight across for a Washburn HB35 a fake 335
but at $35.00 with case pawn shop prize the bass sounds great and to top it off my friends son gave me a Fender Custom Shop case for
the G and L bass
 
Also I suspect the Schecter Helltaiser and likely the Lzzy Hale Explorer as it is certainly lighter than the LPs.

Likely as well the Godin. The ES Les Paul is more hollow than a 335 and is just over 6 lbs.

Jethro, I can never get tired of seeing your collection of guitars. All beautiful and different.
Having said that, I think that all but one of mine are run of the mill workmanlike units.

I won't bore anyone with the same old same old pics of mine, but simply list all that I have that answer the thread question. I will start with my heaviest SUB 8 LB guitars and work my way down to the lightest.

My 2 American Standard Black Strats are just at 7 lbs 3 oz.
Squier Tele, PRS Santana SE, Jackson Randy Rhoads RR3 , '07 Gibson Faded V, all 4 of my SG's.
Not sure of the weight of my Washburn HB30 that I got from smitty_p, but judging by how it feels I think it tops the 8lb mark.

My known 8lb+ guitars are my 10 lb+ '79 LP KM STD, 9+ lb Epi LP STD, '03 ES 135, and Fender Steve Harris P bass, Squier Vintage Modified P and VM Jazz basses, Epiphone V short scale bass.

I know that I said I would not bore anyone with pics of my basic guitars like my basic black and white Strats, etc. But since I feel like at least 3 of my guitars/ basses are unique enough, I will post my Epi V bass that was signed by MIchael Schenker and his band mates.

Schenker, Herman Rarebill, and Rev signed the Scratch plate, while Doogie White is the upper Sig on Upper horn, Wayne Findlay also in gold God Bless is by the bridge, and this leaves the black inked sig in lower point as the uncertain one.

I later determined that the mystery sig in the lower right horn is Francis Buchholz.
