Hello..
I'm going to buy a new guitar and I think of buying a tele.. Dont know which one yet, but that doesn't matter..
But how heavy is a tele? Is it the same as a stratocaster?
I love to play on my Strat, because it's so light.. My Les Paul is pretty heavy so I only use it when I can sit (studio, jams,..).
SG is probally the same as LP weigth? And semi-acoustic?
thanks in advance..

Re: Heavy guitars..

Re: Heavy guitars..
I can't judge a guitar by playing it for 5 minutes or less.. It's after a good half hour I know it's a guitar for me..
And in Belgium their aren't pretty good music shops.. I always order at MusicStore in Germany.. And I'm not in for a ride to Germany..
I have a friend who has a Tele, but he won't led me lent it..

SG's are pretty light. You can get a Gibson SG pretty cheap, like 700 euros or something like that. I'd go for that instead of a Tele.

Re: Heavy guitars..
I find SG's rather light as well.
New Les Pauls are very light compared to the older models.
Telecaster is about the same as a Strat I think.

Re: Heavy guitars..
So SG is the lightest guitar of them all?

Tele/Strat
LP
Like that?

Re: Heavy guitars..
Yeah LPs are pretty heavy but SGs are really really light so go for an SG if you want something light. Strats are pretty light too, dunno about Teles.
