Only wondering as I'm looking for a new Strat to replace my Strat Plus, one of the reasons being the weight which is 8lb 10oz.
Ideally, I'd like something under 8lb, 7.5lb or lower would be brilliant.
My first proper guitar was a Springy that I bought new in about 82-83. Foolishly I sold it a few years later but I now realise it was a pretty decent strat. I seem to recall it being reasonably light and great sounding so I still have a soft spot for Tokai strats.
I've been looking/asking about a couple of Tokais and they have all been over 8lb, sometimes over 9lb.
I know I'm generalising from an incredibly small sample size but are the Tokais generally heavy for strat style guitars?
