The weight of my guitars

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:

Year Model Weight (kg) Weight (lbs oz) Weight (lbs)
2012 ESP Eclipse II silver sparkle 3.75 kg 8 lbs 4 oz 8.25 lbs
1992 Ibanez UV7BK 3.63 kg 8 lbs 8 lbs
1997 Ibanez JPM P2 3.52 kg 7 lbs 12 oz 7.75 lbs
2014 Music Man JP6 silver sparkle 3.45 kg 7 lbs 10 oz 7.6 lbs
2016 Music Man Majesty arctic dream 2.95 kg 6 lbs 8 oz 6.5 lbs
2013 Suhr Modern Satin natural 2.77 kg 6 lbs 2 oz 6.11 lbs
2023 Ibanez Q52PB 2.17 kg 4 lbs 13 oz 4.78 lbs

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.
