H-150LW weight?

[CJTopes]

This had probably been asked before but what is the average weight of the H-150LWs compared to the regualr H-150s? I have a H-150 now and it's just over 9lbs. I think I've been spoiled with my Millie DC cause that thing is super light. I've been thinking of selling my 150 and getting a LW but was wondering if the difference in weight is worth it.

[Guest HRB853370]

My LW is around 8 1/2 lbs (guesstimate). There is a significant difference when picking it up compared to my regular 10 lb H150.

Around 8 lbs. - give or take a few ounces would seem to be the average.

Where do they "chamber" them? Are they cut out like a Millie?

When you custom order a 150, you can put a weight limit on a solid body. They can't guarantee the weight limit, but they will search for a lighter piece of Mahogany. I did that on my 150GT and it came in at a shade under 9lbs.

 

Personally, I would prefer a lighter weighted solid wood 150 over a "weight relieved" or "chambered" 150. YMMV

That was a question I put to a certain someone at PSP. Seems the LW's may not be the same as the Millie semi-solids. Popular opinion was they were the same. So ........... still a mystery. At least to me.

My 150 LW weights 8.5 lbs, and I love it.

[SouthpawGuy]

My 150 weighs 8.2lbs. It's a regular non light weight model, but it is if you follow my drift.

[PunkKitty]

My 150 weighs 8.4 pounds. It's not a LW.

[CJTopes]

Starting to think that getting a LW isnt going to help me much in the weight reduction.

My 150LW was about 7.5 lbs

[Thundersteel]

My LW was about 8-1/2 pounds or so, but since it was chambered, it had a nice woody tone to it. I preferred it over the solid models.

My 157 is 7.2 lbs. I'm more than happy with it.

I'm guessing that's a 157LW ?

[HANGAR18]

I don't know how that would even be possible.

[Joe]

Yes, my 157 is LW.I should have said 157 LW.

[HANGAR18]

That make sense. ~whew~

I don't hear any tone or sustain differences between my LW and my solid wood 150's. They both sound woody as they should since both are made of wood.

150 LWs are da shizzle

I almost bought that one if I remember correctly.

You could always spring for a 140. My H140 is 8.06 lbs. My 535 is 8.11 lbs. My 157 is 9.5lbs. The Millie LE is the lightest by far at 7.57 lbs (7lbs 9oz)

[CJTopes]

I've loooked into the 140's I'm not a fan of the florentien cutaway. I I would consider a 147. I've also thought about 535's and a prospect

[SouthpawGuy]

My 170 is 7.4lbs, it's an older one from '86.

140 2nd Ed. doesn't have the Florentine. Well, the new Silverburst did. But production 140s now have the softer horn of the 150.

My 2011 H-157CM-LW weighs 7.5 lbs.

My 2012 H-157CM weighs 8.5 lbs. I asked for this one to be as light as possible while still being solid.

Jim Deurloo gave me the impression that all 140s and 150s could be ordered with either a sharp or rounded cutaway.
