Hefty! I’m not sure my spinal column would fancy doing a gig on that. I bet it has sustain for days, though!
Doyle from the Misfits uses a graphite guitar which is apparently absurdly heavy. He kept breaking the wooden ones though so he needed something much heavier.
Mans a monster too though just give him a google and you'll probably understand why. Especially with his "punch the guitar" picking style

He is a bit hench. Probably doesn’t have to work out if he’s lugging that thing about every night.
Probably benches the amp stacks and deadlifts the stage during the sound check

It wasn't that they needed to be heavier (as graphite isn't), but he needed something stronger than wood...so graphite (or carbon fibre) is a great solution.
Maybe he should have made it out of granite

Oh I'm pretty sure he has metal wings bolted to it for weightIt wasn't that they needed to be heavier (as graphite isn't), but he needed something stronger than wood...so graphite (or carbon fibre) is a great solution.
