Whats your LIGHTEST guitar?

[GuitarDoc]

I like the idea of the Parker's versatility and light weight. I don't mind the body shape, but I just really can't get along with the headstock. OMG, I think it's ugly!

Washburn changed the headstock after they bought Parker

My Parker MidiFly is around 4.5 lbs

That's the sickness, right there! 4.5 lbs???

I've owned a few Parkers. I know the standard neck-through models could dip into the sub-5 lbs range, but I'm highly surprised that a Nitefly/Midifly could come in that low, especially with the Midi add-ons! I think the typical weight for almost all of the bolt-on neck models was right around 7 lbs or so. That's quite a difference!

Fretboard stickers ftw. I've had the Jockomo ones on one of my basses for 5 years now, no issues. Just clean the fretboard well and let it dry for a day before applying and then press down the edges very thoroughly.

All the wood in the back is routed out for the Midi board.

You know what I stand corrected I looked up the stats, and the MidiFly is heavier than the regular Parker Fly. I am weighing at7.4lbs, Always thought this guitar was lighter.

Nice! From a playability standpoint, I actually preferred my Nitefly models to the standard Fly models. Shhh...don't tell anyone

[Mincer]

I'd love an original Fly model. A friend of mine worked for Parker, and helped design and build the early models. They go for serious $$ these days. Having a lighter instrument is almost a necessity for me these days, as I can't put really any weight on my left shoulder due to a car accident (long story) last year. So standing up and playing is off the table until it heals.

I think that's a huge improvement in every aspect that was bothering me. I think I could actually survive owning one of those.

[Ascension]

the Music Man Silo Special is 6.5lbs.

Never seen one of those that light. Most I have picked up have been closer to 8 LBS.Nice guitars.

According to this page, the average weight is 6.75lbs. So I guess I got lucky! It is my favorite guitar.

Traded into a 7lb 14oz Les Paul last night. Feels lighter than that.

[Jeffblue]

I have no way to weigh it, but it is ultimately lighter than any other guitar I own. GFS Paulownia body, Fender neck, Wilkinson bridge, Seymour Duncan 59/SD Vintage pickups and Schaller strap locks.

I remember the first time that I ever picked up a Parker. I about slung it through the roof because it was so light. It blew my mind how light it was.

My lightest guitar is my Eastman T64/V (Epi Casino clone): 2.5 kg
