acoustic guitar weight

Garland,Derick,TonyKgull,

Garland,

Totally insignificant, but many years ago, I worked with this guy who was a cycling fanatic. And most Mondays at work he would excitedly tell me about a new nut or screw in Titanium he had fitted to his cycle over the weekend, these nuts, screws etc weren't cheap, at €50 to £85 a time, it never made him a better or faster cyclist, but the enjoyment he got from it, made it all worthwhile.

Electronics, battery, etc add a fair amount of weight.
When I bought my ad17, also bought a ad27. Both grand pacifics, both american dream. They had different wood but the ad27 (mahogany) was light as a feather because it had no electronics.
Sold the mahogany even though it sounded good but had a crack or two

Derick, TonyKgull, ancient1, both my slope shoulders weigh about the same... the Guild is louder than the AMI... the Guild D240E is louder, and lighter than either one... the 00015M is louder still and it is right at 4 lbs., which is noticeably lighter than the two slope shoulderes and probably real close to D240E. The Pro Dove is quite as a mouse, comparatively speaking, to any of them and it's a tank. It does have better sustain though than any of them. The Orangewood is about as heavy as the two slope shoulders, but is louder... it should be noted, too, the Orangewood doesn't have painted top, nor does the 00015M or the D240E...sound waves are funny things. They can be reflected and can be absorbeded... Curvatures can effect the direction of the reflection and what they reflect off of can absorb or simply reflect... vibrations make sound waves and there are a lot of variables involved in causing a vibration... that vibration, reflecting, or being absorbed adds a variable, add bracing, bracing direction, bracing wood and scalloping and voila!... it could probably be mathematically described, but I can't do that... and wouldn't know the math (algebra) if it did...
