I am looking to buy the Fender Blacktop Jaguar HH. I read on one website that this guitar is 14 pounds. Is it really that heavy? Thanks

If the guitar is 8.2 pounds and the product weight is 14 pounds, then what would account for the other 5.8 pounds? I am guessing the box(packaging) weighs 3.4 pounds. Thanks.

The Gibson LP comes with a Hard shell case, plus manuals etc. The Jaguar probably comes with a soft gig bag. That makes up the 5 - 10 lb difference. The bulk density of ash, maple and mahogany is around 40 lbs/ft3 on average. So a 2 inch thick block 1-foot square weighs only 6.66 lbs. Cut it to shape, contour, rout out, then add the neck and hardware...8-9 lbs maximum. I weighed mine on a bathroom scale (both digital and analog) and got 8.2 lbs.
