@Methos1979. Bathroom scale method 5.6 pounds. According to McPherson's website, 5.4 lbs. Size-wise I think the guitar is close to a Martin OM/OOO. Compared to a Martin OM the Sable is longer by about 2 inches 41 3/4 vs 39 13/16. The Sable body is 20 in vs 19 3/8. Based on your x20 report, the Martin is around 4lbs depending on wood type, so fairly big difference vs the Sable on a percentage basis. The Sable has about a half pound on your x20 based on your 4.8lb weigh-in.
The Sable's weight is in the body so I find on my lap the guitar settles nicely and neck naturally raises to my fretting hand. I don't find the weight an issue. If I played standing maybe it would be a different story but a Gibson Les Paul is north of 9 lbs, so in comparison, the Sable is far from heavy.
Hope this helps.
