Wiz is just really nice
The 7621 is pretty light, you can barely feel it on your shoulders.

The artist 2617 (not a 7 ) is a true monster. I'd say 10+ pounds at least. It's so heavy the neck will keep sliding forward thus making it impossible to play it without having to hold it up all the time.

Skeletor will become famous soon enough
My WG587 feels heavy compared to my super-light Strat; I think it's about 8 or 9 pounds.

That's what I like about my Avenger, its lower bout is heavier than the rest of the guitar forcing it to shoot up to natural position. You can maybe fix that if you place your strap buttons somewhere else, this is a common problem on Epiphone Thunderbird basses.

I'm assuming he's going to want to mass produce these rack pies, and why not? I love racks, I love pies, so put them together and you have pie covered titties. - JJ
