FYSA, I got one of these a couple of years ago to mod, and the pics on monoprice.com at the time had a two point bridge, which is what I needed as I already had a nice two point bridge I wanted to use. What showed up was a six point bridge, so I ended up returning it (it also had different, lesser pickups). All of the pics on monoprice.com have been updated to show the six point bridge, but the attached pics #2 and #4 on this post show the old two point bridge. Just something to be aware of if you care and are thinking of ordering this.
Oh yeah, this thing is a boat anchor . I think mine was over nine lbs, insane for a strat, but expected with a solid ash body, in case anyone isn't aware of that distinction. Picking this up is a different experience than a typical fender, squire, prs silver sky, etc. strat.

Yeah agreed on the weight -- I bought one in white at $60 with free shipping a year or two ago (possibly with a corporate discount, I don't remember exactly). Mine was somewhere between 11-12lbs, which is insane. It came damaged so I returned it. I wouldn't say it was a great guitar, but it was fairly playable straight out of the box. This was the HSS version.

Holy crap, that is heavier than most LPs, even the ones from the pre weight relief area. That is almost the weight of TWO alder or whatever standard strats .
I'm guessing the heavy weight won't be great for a beginner? Does weight play a big role in the quality of the sound or something?
If you are sitting down while playing, then a beginner would not know the difference in weight.
Heavier guitars do tend to have more sustain, so it's a double edged sword
If you are older, and want a super lightweight guitar, seek out one made of basswood. I built a 34" scale bass for a guy who had a stroke and it was for real, 5 pounds. He loves it.

I bought the non-deluxe Strat from Indio a couple years back. I think it was $65 shipped. It's right up there with Squier quality so it's totally playable. I've gigged with mine, although it's definitely my beater guitar. Only thing is the whammy bar is useless since it just knocks it completely out of tune. That's to be expected at the low price point.

The Cali Classic is the one that usually goes for $60-70 now and then. If the DLX has ever been that cheap, I missed the deal.
I've had four classics and one DLX so far. The classics were insanely great value guitars at under $70, and Fender weight or a bit lighter. I still have two of those.
I didn't weigh the DLX while I had it, but remember it being about as heavy as my Fender Precision Bass, but not super chunky like everyone else here says.
