I'm pretty sure my Torero weighs 9 pounds and I've never felt any sort of back strain while playing. I play standing up 90% of the time and I've played for like 5 hours before.
I'm sorry but people who get back injuries from just playing a heavy guitar need to work out their core and back muscles more. Not to mention working on posture. /rantover
Oh and Devin: I'd check out the CTM edition ESP/LTD's, the Solo-II's from Schecter, and used MIJ Edwards guitars. Lots of the people playing the John Sikes sig Edwards guitars say they are better/equal in quality to most Gibson's today. Agile is fine from what I've heard, lots of guys were saying they can have lots of set up issues when you buy them new, when I was looking at getting a nice single cut a year or two back anyways. (which I never ended up doing because I prefer 25.5" scale and above I discovered)
The PRS SE Tremonti I played the other day was a very very nice guitar for the money. If I was looking at a shorter scale guitar I'd probably pick up one of those.
