They're cool. I like the one's wit da Bob Moog electronics, too (they really work), and some have maple fret boards. Slick. I've played a few that were boat anchors, but weight / neck heavy has never been an issue for me.
If I didn't have an Explorer, I guess I'd have one of those.
The price went up since Mr. Grohl started squeezing them regularly, but RD's are still a great value.

haha! kevin is making me an aluminum RD at this very moment!
i've been a little worried about balance too. by 'chunk' do you mean the neck is solid aluminum?

no, i don't mean solid aluminum. i just mean a big ol' piece of it.
