| I'm pretty sure my '83 and '78 Balladeers (Non A/E) don't weigh the same, by maybe 4 or 5 ounces. I don't have a scale to check, but my old shoulder is a pretty good gauge. The '78 has a 5 piece neck, the '83 doesn't. Other than that, externally the guitars are identical. This makes me wonder if the truss rod or Kaman bar would be the weight difference. Any ideas? |

You know, I don't think I've ever been thru the town of Damnear. Or maybe I've spent most of my life there...... |
