Just did some weighing and measuring of my carter, preparing to fit some gun cases to fly it in. I'll post the results here for anyone who may have use of such info.

2007? Carter D-10, mica, 8 x 5, standard Emmons, original carpet covered case

In case - ~55lbs
Out of case - 24.6 lbs
Pouch with 4 legs and all rods - 8 lbs
Pedal board - 3.8 lbs
Case - 18.4 lbs
The dimensions of the steel are 32 x 10 and 9/16 x ~4.5
I measured the width of the body from the top of a tuner to the bottom of the endplate.

Maybe someone can use this info! I was expecting the pedal board and leg pouch to be heavier. 12 lbs is significant, and will make the difference in getting this thing under 50 in a rifle case, but it is so little I wish I didn't have to split the cases.
