You're welcome. I'll weigh my SC-450+ in the morning. I know my SC Custom with P90s is Very Heavy. If you want heavy - that's the one. That or the TE-52. But remember, they do vary a lot...

Weight and distribution of it insofar as guitars are concerned can be very deceptive. Recently I measured the weight of a Tele and a Strat and the results were surprising. The Tele has always felt heavy when I picked it up or resting on my leg. Nice guitar but so heavy. There have been times when I almost sold it because of the weight. The Strat always felt better. Much more comfortable. My impression always was this guitar has a real nice weight to it. Had both of these guitars for many years. Turned out the Tele is actually 30 grams lighter.

My SC450+ (sorry - forgot!) is 3.8kg. SC-Custom is 4.8kg. If you're interested - a CST-24T is 3.95kg. And my SC450GT is 4kg.

I think I'm gonna love this. I sold a bunch of things this weekend to prepare for my next purchase. Unfortunately, lunch with the family yesterday cost $100 with tip, and I had to order flowers for my wife for Valentine's Day. That set me back another $100. But I'm about ready to go. Taking a week long vacation in two weeks. I'll order while I'm on vacation to time my return with the delivery. Thank you for weighing for me. Much appreciated.

My SC450+ (sorry - forgot!) is 3.8kg. SC-Custom is 4.8kg. That's quite a difference for two guitars of the same shape and wood. The SC-Custom even ought to be lighter thanks to the cutaway on the back. My Jazz Bass weighs 5 Kg…

My Cigar box guitar weighs 1.4 kgs, although you probably didn't want to know that. 🤩

My JB-20 is 3.98kg... Yes!I know! I was shocked when I got the Custom, as I really don't like heavy guitars... But it's actually rather comfy. Surprising.

That's why I had trouble connecting to Epi LPC's ... which basically weighed in at around 6.5 lbs. (less than 3 kg). That's too light of a Les Paul for me. I have Strats weighing more than that. But again, it's personal preference. Not a knock on the product. The Epi LPC is a fine instrument ... just too light for me.

I'm gonna scream !!! The Extreme 84 is on backorder for 4-5 weeks. What the fudge? They just got a shipment. Who's ordering these? How are they not ordering enough? Is it some moron in Germany with a bad MRP program ordering back on future buckets and incorrect forecasts

This happens often with HB guitars as they are selling them faster than they can get new shippments in from Asia. If you have patience then wait but count that you could even receive a lemon once it arrives, so ... maybe this a "sign" that you actually want another model instead

With these pre-orders do we have the option to cancel when it is available, ready to ship? Does Thomann send us a message for us to confirm our orders before they take the payment?

ARGHHHH !!! The Extreme 84 won't be available for another 6-7 weeks. What happened? Production pushed off? It was down to 3 weeks. Fudge! Should I put my order in now and just wait for it? Maybe they produced just enough to satisfy the pre-orders they had. Maybe they had none at all and decided to postpone the next batch until at least someone wants one. If I were in the business of selling things as cheap as possible, I would limit stocks as much as I can and produce only what I know I can sell.
