Paul, tbo:
O.K., I admit it, we over here on this side of the pond don't do metric very well. Still, isn't a kilo approximately 2.2 pounds? If so, then wouldn't 8 kilos be about 17.6 lbs.? And 7 would work out to 15.4? (At either weight I hope you have a very good strap! LOL)
Am I missing something? Or maybe that beautiful claro-wood top adds bouyancy - sort of a helium effect?
Bill, tgo
P.S. I just noticed the reference to Bonnie Raitt as your treasure's namesake. I've been fortunate to have seen her live numerous times. She rocks! It also reminded me of one of my favorite bass players, (and certainly my all time favorite bass player name), her bassist in the early days: Freebo! Any idea what became of him?
