What's your heaviest. My US Strat weighs 12 lbs. I weighed it last

12 pounds!!!!!!!! What is it made of ??????

My USA Double-Fat Strat weighs 7 lbs 4 ounces and it is alder.
About the heaviest Strats I have seen are around 8 lbs.
heavy telecasters can get into 9 pound territory though.
But even my MIJ Squier Tele is only slightly over 7 lbs.
I have never heard of a Strat at 12 pounds!! What a boat anchor.
I wouldn't play anything that heavy.
Maybe it is some home made Strat you are using ?

No, it's a 79 US Strat. Some of the weight could be the EMG pups and
battery. Plus, it has a Washburn Wonderbar, but in general it's a
very dense guitar.

I love it. I have a nice comfortable strap on it and it's what I'm
used to.

Do you want polite or do you want sincere?
