This 74 is almost 10 lbs! Heavier than my Les Paul. Stark contrast to the 68 Thinline. Both totally different animals though. (Acknowledging both are old man guitars...)View attachment 273186View attachment 273188

It's an E-Tele model. Fat tires too.

Really... and I thought my orange Charvel Tele was heavy at 8 lbs. 11 oz.

The FTM33, which is a 28” scale 8-string, is 9lbs 🤷

The Lake Placid blue Tele is actually a "frankenstein" - a Warmoth body I found on FBMP with a Fender USA neck I bought used (also off FBMP). The body is chambered and has Strat arm and belly counters, so it's really light - as the guitar sits: 6 'bs. 11 oz.
