Zum vs. Sierra weight issue

Post by John Russell »

Just to clarify. My Zum SD-12 and it's lighter case weighs a total of 50 lbs. Easy to haul and set up.

The Sierra guitar is considerably heavier. Riding in it's new lighter case without pedal rack and rods it's 58 lbs. Manageable. The pedal rack and rods is easily carried as a separate package.

Both cases have wheels--that's mandatory.

I try not to envy fiddle players and bluegrass players who carry just their instruments, while I have to carry a virtual sound system plus a heavy instrument. Does no good. You forget it all when you plug in and play the first chord.

My Desert Rose 5X5 single neck is 42 pounds in a self modified SKB trap case.

My Franklins are 65 pounds exactly in a lightweight flight case.

My Carter S-10 5+5 inside of the Carter flight case is 53 pounds. Pretty airline friendly.

My MSA VXL SD-12 8+5 inside the case can't get on the scale :lol: . I hate it until I plug it up and hear that sound. I leave it set up at my church.
