    Sweets sells purpleheart prime kens that tend to be on the heavy side.

    Thx. It’s funny you mentioned a Sweets ken. Because I have a Zebrano Prime paired with the tama now. But it’s only 81g. That’s still a 18g difference (tama is 98g), I’d like to cut that in half.

    Brazilian Cherry (Jatoba) is pretty dense. I have seen them at 100g+ for a HG OG setup.

    I was at a jam and one of the kids there had an 84 gram hickory shift.

    Sweets is selling the single kens and my purple heart came in around 86 grams

    @goenKendama Thank you! Where did you last see one?

    @quacktaped GT Hickory weighing in a whopping 98g!

    @Carlos Habbenero my Hickory Shift is 76g and 75g. I wish it was that heavy.

    @Mr.T yea I think im going to go that route... just hoping I luck out. Not even my Sweets Zebrano is close enough.

    They were Sweets HG models but I believe they've been discontinued. You might check directly with them to see if they've got some parts laying around.

    UPDATE: Much thanks to you all for the suggestions... I haven't weighed it yet, but the Sweets Purpleheart is MUCH heavier than my Zebrano. Feels like mid to high 90's and is right on par with what I was looking for.
