Controversial Opinion

An all maple guitar would weight 15-20#.


Well, yeah, if it were as big as your dining table.
I have an all Maple guitar that weighs 5 lb 10 oz (yes, it's chambered, however, but that only removes about 1-2 pounds).
Maple is heavier than basswood certainly, and heavier than Cedar, Black Limba. and Ash, but not much more than good Mahogany. WAY lighter than Cocobolo, Granadillo, Padauk, Ebony, and even some Bubinga and Walnut. (Keeping in mind that any piece of wood may have a different density and weight than another piece of the same type wood).
