Dale Posted April 7, 2010 Posted April 7, 2010 Hello! I am a newbe here. I am looking at a 2008 150CM Gold Top with Lollar P-90's. I have tried the seach function and did not find an answer. On the net there is some information that suggests some of the H150's are weight relieved. What are the years that they have done this (if it is true) and is there a way to tell? Dale

Dale I believe that, and someone may want to correct me here, it would have the LW designation. Like H150LW. If all yours ha is the CM, then I would suspect it isn't weight relieved.
Assumer Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 According to my specs, I have a typical CM150 but it sure feels weight relieved. The lightest LP style guitar I have picked up.
Millennium Maestro Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 The Millenium series have semi hollow construction, guess they would be weight relieved on steriods...LOL Look at the 140's , they are not relieved but alot lighter, and thinner. 150P model has a poplar body, made 10+ YEARS AGO. These should be lighter.
Thundersteel Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 Barry is correct. The LW designation stands for Light Weight.
Kuz Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 If it doesn't have LW next to the 150 then it is NOT weight relieved (that's OK because they left the TONE in it then). Not a big fan of wt relieved guitars.....
Bombassa Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 If it doesn't have LW next to the 150 then it is NOT weight relieved (that's OK because they left the TONE in it then). Not a big fan of wt relieved guitars..... My H140 (1986) is 8,8 lbs and the H150 (P90, 2006) is 9,0 lbs. That is not a big difference, and I'm not shure why. I have no idea if my H150 is weight relieved or not. Honestly I had expected a bigger difference. Both guitars heve great sound with incredible sustain.
golferwave Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 My H150LW had PLENTY of tone! And it still does.
