Actually they could be near equal to that at the moment @MrPB will be too I suspect, in 2020/21 when new management took over they took the LP standards and others back to a design closer to the original design than they have ever done before (according to the vids on Andertons). For my LP it means there is no weight relief cutouts in the back and If I recall my LP weighs in at about 9-10lbs.
Wow, I had no idea that model was typically so heavy. I got rid of my Squier Tele because it felt like a brick. I don’t think I’ll be considering an LP then.
(My current G&L is 7lbs 10oz and that feels just about right).
