Mine comes in at 7 lbs. I got mine on one of those sales last month. It has a small finish flaw where the nitro sunk into the grain a little on the back. Finish flaw? I thought Gibson made them all like that!!! Anyway, for a few bucks over $800 for a new SG, I couldn't resist. The tuners are heavy and it has a slight neck dive, but nothing my padded neoprene strap couldn't counteract. Putting lite tuners on it could make it even lighter.
I played it at a gig last month and it did a nice job. As usual, an easy bass to play and wear long term.
