It finally happened.
After an awful amount of time wondering, I finally managed to temporarily steal a precision weighing scale from my girlfriend’s kitchen, and finally find out how much my guitars weigh. Here are the results of my current guitars, updated:

I actually tought the JPM was lighter, and the Eclipse was heavier. The Modern Satin is, indeed, a very lightweight guitar.
The JP6 silver sparkle was said on Reverb to weigh 7 lbs 14 oz, or 3.57 kg, which was actually wrong.
