re: #40 makeitstop

Gibson’s started making them where they ‘chamber’ the bodies by routing a lot of the weight out of them.

I had a ‘54 Les Paul Gold Top for a week when I was a kid. I had to trade it away because it nearly weighed more than I did. I traded it for a ‘65 Strat, brand new at the time.

I don’t think I could afford to buy either one nowadays.

The chambered Tele’s have a remarkable tone.
