6.8lb Limited Edition Custom 22 from 2007. Is that even possible?

[Freebird1]

Seller says the guitar weighs in at 6.8lb. That’s the lightest I’ve ever heard of. Anyone seen a Custom 22 from that time frame that light?

I have one 6.04 lbs, so yes.
Obeche back drops a lot of weight.

My 2018 Custom 22 is exactly 6.8 lbs.; so this is probably quite a likely possibility for a 2007 model as well (there really haven't been any significant changes that would/could affect weight).

If you haven't already played one, keep in mind that the Custom 22 & 24 guitars are slightly thinner bodies than the popular McCarty models and/or even-thicker 594 models of today. This might account for what seems to be a comparatively lightweight Custom 22 compared to today's 594 models.

Yeah my 2010 53/10 ltd is around that weight. Super light

My '95 CU22 is right at 6.5lbs.

I have a 2007 Custom 22 stoptail that weighs about 6.8 lbs.

 

[Grapeshot]

My ‘00 Custom 22 (hard tail) is 6.9 lbs.

I have a CU24 (mahogany back, curly maple neck) that is that same weight despite those crazy heavy extra 2 frets ;-)

I had a Cu22 that was so light I suspected it's chambered.
