I know you like affinity strat necks so that’s in comparison with one. Not sure how to describe it tbh, definitely a bit heftier than my Fenders but string spacing is different too. I’ve got small hands and it’s plenty comfortable though.
I swapped it for a Duo Sonic neck. Doog of this parish has the original on his Mustang

Sorry for the late response, I've been meaning to thank you for the photo comparing the two necks but got a severe case of procrastination. I do like Affinity necks though the Affinity I have now is an oddball with a nut width at about 41.5mm, but it's overall small. At one point I had a regular Affinity, with a narrower nut, and this one. They were very comparable but this one gave me a bit more space to play cowboy chords. The regular Affinity neck was more comfortable to play in the upper positions.
HB still looks super nice. Why didn't they make them 10 years ago? All you could buy back then were either Tokais,Burnies,etc or some cheap junk for the quality of which nobody could vouch. I've always liked this Orville in sunburst

I asked him to not put too much effort into it, and to not blend it in. He cut a cut a piece of scrap wood from Home Depot to fit in there and glued with the grain going in the same direction. He did a great job.
Looks 80s in a good way. A Gibson I tried a long ago in a similar colour was also heavy as shit. It was a Studio/Tribute guitar from 10 years ago, with dots and without binding.

Without chambers Les Pauls are heavy
Not quite. The custom shop reissues are not heavy at all, and aren't chambered. Most other Les Pauls need chambering to be a reasonable weight.
I had a mahogany les paul junior copy and it was one of the lightest guitars - both the body and neck wood was super lightweight. My other mahogany guitars had some serious weight to them
