How much does a fender mustang guitar weigh?

Answer 1

A Fender Statocaster typically weighs between 7.5 lbs and 8.5 lbs. Body woods used are ash and alder, with ash being (on average) the heaviest. You want as light of a guitar as possible, so try to get one around 7 lbs (good luck). Regardless of the pros and cons of a light guitar, the light ones are more sought after and will command a premium price.

Some of the heaviest strats were ash in the early 1970's. This was ONE of the factors that started the craze for older strats - a craze that evolved to the vintage reissues and reaching the absurd point we find today of fender charging thousands of dollars to make essentially the same guitar it sells for $1,000 , out of the custom shop (granted there is more hand building going on here, but my point is that this is where the money is - not simply producing them like they used to). If you want it to LOOK old, fender will bake and beat the crap out of it (they call it relic-ing) and charge you hundreds for it - try taking your well used strat to a retail store for trade in and pulling that one!

Answer 2

The average weight of an alder bodied strat is between around 7.25 and 8.75 pounds - lighter and heavier Guitars exist. Ash is heavier than alder, so ash strats are generally heavier, but not generally above 9 pounds.
