Odd that you should ask about weight. The 79, the one that sounds so good, has a pickguard that is made from a 1/4" thick piece of mirrored glass.. It adds a few ounces to the weight to it. I have often wondered if it effected the sound as it is glued not screwed to the body. I'm sure it has to change something. If I were to send the works out to you, would you want the whole guitar of should I just send you the electronics? Brighter and thinner describe the 76 sound to a tee.

Yes it's Heywood Wakefield. The house is a mid century modern design so we have a bit of his stuff around here.
