"One of the most frustrating and confusing purchases to
consider for the novice guitar buyer is the Fender
Stratocaster (aka Strat). There are so many different
variants of the Stratocaster being produced by Fender (or
Fender licensed entities) that it's nearly impossible for

You shouldn't have to look too hard. Some recent Les Pauls have had
plugs of wood removed from the mahagony body, underneath the maple cap,
in order to reduce weight. And some Strats are QUITE heavy.
