I have what is called a "fusion"...actually I have had 3 since 2008. Broke my lower back in 2007. Anyway, I have been on the hunt for a "lightweight" guitar. Finally settled on a Squire Strat and a Squire Tele. But found that they too, were too much to throw over my shoulder. Just this last Saturday,( March 30th 2013 ), I traded them in, and with a small amount of cash, picked up a DBZ Barchetta. Now that baby IS light with plenty of power. I took her home and practiced for a couple of hours with minimal pain. Believe me, I would love to have a Paul...but...OUCHERS! So, check out DBZguitars.com. It's owned by the same fellow who started "DEAN" guitars.
