I have a Weber STE F-style with a K&K installed. I know this mando was made to be an affordable instrument and so has some construction adaptions. For example, the tongue of the fingerboard is fused to the body, adding extra weight; and there are other things that may contribute. It is heavy...you notice the weight immediately you pick it up.
I'm considering having the pickup removed to reduce the weight. It plays and sounds decent and I like it for a travel instrument. Would it make a noticeable difference? I have no experience with mando pickups.
Thanks.
