R8 Peach Deal

I’m not very clued up at all on any of this. But the one on the far right looks absolutely amazing. Definitely my favourite. Nice subtle flame, beautiful “graduation” in the colour, not too dark, not too light and I’m never sure about the cherry bursts. If I can ever afford and justify a full on Les Paul then that’s the sort of one I picture in my head.

What colour is that? Iced Tea?

 Guys.. I’m sorry, shouldn’t have rose to it. 

If there’s one thing to take away from this it’s this:
If a dickhead chimes in with half a story.. later contradicts himself by disclosing the full story.. then has his arse fall out.. don’t take him on. Just let him remain a bitter bystander.. and carry on selling your beloved gear at justifiably fair guide prices.

In the interest of disclosure: I accepted £2300 against my 2012 R8. Which.. with reference to the new price of that one, is a very very good price. 
There’s a lovely 2017 in the classifieds for the same price. This also seems justified as they’re not new at £2500 anymore. 

If you’re buying.. then buy the best that you can afford. And if you don’t like the price tag on something.. move along and find something with a price tag that suits you. Don’t use little snippets of bollocks from the internet to try and knock people down..  normal ‘non-dealer’ people selling in good faith.. and hopefully this karma will treat you well when you come to sell something yourself. 

Now carry on drooling over those R8’s and R9’s.. if you’re here it’s cos you’ve got good taste. 

You say you shouldn't have risen to it then you call him a 'dickhead'?

Ffs man, grow up, let it go and stop trying to ruin an immensely popular and positive thread.

This shows an incredible lack of self awareness. 

For the avoidance of doubt, it was your posts that led people to calling out rule 1 breaches...

Let's just move on eh?

Run into a lot of assholes in the course of a day, don't you?

The one on the right is a 2014 iced tea. Its an R8 with an R9 top, still has the fatter R8 neck. The best bit about it is the tone, it sounds much better than it looks

That is just insanely wonderful......
When they change the law and allow marriage to guitars, I will have little choice but to steal that from you @terada .....
