Hmmm. Without doing a bunch of math, it seems “by-and-large”, the weight is a bit lighter as the older they get. I would almost think the opposite. Is is possible water content plays a role??..

Case in point - a few years back Fender had a line of torrified ash Teles and Strats. The weights on these guitars were crazy light... the Teles were often in low 6 pound range, strats in the upper 6. On average, nearly a pound lighter than you would typically expect.

Don't we need to know how much they each cost per oz.?
Perhaps an exciting new thread!

Less warranty repairs on the later. And no, there is not that much water in the guitar that it would be noticeably lighter over time.

I went ahead and weighed my two Eastman guitars specifically because they feel heavy. They sound great though. I’m just not sure what it is about the bodies that make them weigh so much. You can almost feel it being centered down by the tail block.
