Weight of new Fender ultralight tuners?

Sign in to disble this ad
Just spent a long time searching TB but couldn't find this info...

Does anyone know how much the tuners on a 2008 Fender American Standard Jazz weigh? These are the new style lightweight tuners made by Hipshot.

The old Schaller clamshell type (on pre 2008 MIA's) are 110 grams each, the new ones are considerably lighter but I'm considering swapping mine out for Gotoh GB640 Res-O-Lites if there's a significant weight difference. The Gotohs are crazy light at 66 grams each.

Thanks.

I guess...

I'll have to answer my own question!

This was not easy to find, but for anyone who cares the weight of the new style Fender American Standard tuners is 80.64 grams.
