I never weighed my U-12 Millennium, but I seem to recall the late Al Marcus posting that his weighed 19 pounds.

All I know is that my back thanks me every time I pick it up.

My Rittenberry is 59lb in the case.
It may be time for a split case

I think im going to get a set of the hatton split cases with wheels as it would fit both of my sho-buds as they are the exact same measurements. I like my stage one a lot, but the sho-buds are the bomb.

My Emmons P/P 9&7 weighs over 70 lbs in the case. I weighed it once years ago but I can't remember the exact weight. I have an MSA S12 that feels about as heavy as the P/P.

I'm pretty sure my Dekley D12 w/10+6 weighs less than a B3, but then again I've never actually weighed a B3. :\

BIGSBY heavy weight...........

Post by S.M. Johnson »

I noticed in a similar WEIGHT related post some time back that Ray Montee's four neck BIGSBY with six pedals weighed in at 105#.....in the case. I felt that was a significant number but have wondered how much some of the other quad-FENDERs weighed.

My mid 80's BMI SD10 was 38# in case 54# on bathroom scales. I have an 03 that I would guess is a little less.

'72 ZB Custom tips the scales at 78 lbs. in the case. It does a good job of balancing my 90 lbs. amp when I carry one in each hand. :eek:

I picked up my poplar-bodied Strat copy in its case today, and just about threw it through the ceiling! :lol:
