Everyone still in R8 bliss? I'm still rocking out daily with these lovelies, and having a blast...

I must admit my R8 is sat in its case with a broken top E string.  I'm playing my 2017 R9 (bought from GG very early on in the £3499 deal) with Slash pickups most days.

I'm gigging this weekend but will be taking my PRS as usual.  Next week I think I'll give the Slash R9 a run out for a change.

Yep, took it to a recording session a couple of weeks back, rehearsing with it tonight :-)

I've sold three other guitars to pay for it so I don't have much choice! ;-)

In my humble opinion, there aren't enough of these being sold on. Having missed Nik's at the absurd price, I'm surprised no-one is jumping on the bandwagon and selling them off.  Or on.

Played @Legionreturns one at the weekend. Through a high-end rig of a Zoom G1on and a 6” PA speaker. Still sounded utterly awesome.

Guitar Guitar Epsom have an Iced Tea R8 for £2499 - nice top too.

But for a change from ABR to Nashville bridges in 2003, they remained pretty much unchanged throughout their 2000-2012 production. Best value SG you can buy! A Standard for Special money (but with amazing pickups).

When I close my eyes & think of what a Les Paul should be, that's pretty much exactly what comes to mind.

Nice EVH cover!

Musicman20

That new stock is a nice looking guitar. Does make me wonder why so many are popping up though....like how many do Gibson need to offload? I presumed the stock would be limited but it appears they are still coming.

I think any new additions now are just returns?
