The new one looks OK but as others have said a missed opportunity. I would have liked to see Robo Tuners and other colours other than natural.

If cheap enough I may if I can get one but maybe not.

No decade pot either which really is a good if subtle tonal tweak.

Mine is getting on for 12 Lbs.
It is a bit counter intuitive as ICBM says it shouldn't be being all mahogany. maybe it is the volute.
Volute's may not be pretty but the one on mine has saved the day a few times back in the 80's.
But it eases up to that with material on both sides gently rising up. it is handy for when playing pissed or in a very dark venue as it stops your hand slpping off and you know you are at the end of the neck.
To be fair to dindude it is a bit of a marmite guitar for most, but I like it even though I hate marmite.
Here is a volute pic for reference.

The Yammie SG's and a few others at the time used volutes to try and counter the broken neck issues in some falls guitars take. Us clumsy buggers of guitarists back then as now.
