Seems like people were posting their Love rocks at 7 - 9.5 pounds in the other thread. This looks a bit weird to me since light mahogany is hard to come by these days. Does Tokai drill holes into the body to lessen the weight? I guess you can't tell unless you x-ray your guitar 8)
 
No, they just use good mahogany. Many models are 2-piece which cuts down on waste, and smaller pieces of wood are easier to come by.

IIRC the japanese own most of the world's best tonewood supplies these days anyway.
