That's awesome, I love that you've made it your own. Congrats on the new guitar, if it's anything like mine you'll be very pleased

Much appreciated.  Did you go for the dirty lemon too?

I got an Iced Tea VOS from the first batch, now with double creams

Cool, I never thought of that! Is this the first one in the wild then? You work first 8luesman, pickup covers off straight away!

If it sounds at least half as lovely as mine then it's a keeper!

Yeah I knew what I was after and like an excited child I had to just get it how I wanted it ASAP haha

Nice! I bet that looks cool. I was worried I wouldn’t have double blacks but took the chance.

Thank you Lebond!! I’m glad it’s not just me that likes them removed. My other one has the covers left on so nice to have something different and “Stripe” inspired.

My R8 vos has zebra pups. Suhr DA and Dimarzio 36th anniversary 

Couldn’t get on with the Custom buckers

That is gorgeous. What was the weight?

Thank you!  It was 9lb 3oz but actually feels lighter.  I have an 8lb 4oz CS and there's not much in it.

Nice, really like how you've made it your own already. Great work.

Out of interest, what was the weight range of the ones you chose between?

Really? What didn’t you like & I take it what you ended up with sorted the issues?

Out of interest, what was the weight range of the ones you chose between - I think from memory 8lb 2oz to 9lb 4oz.

I didn't like the Custom Buckers in my R9, they were incredibly weak sounding.  They read OK DC wise so I suspect the magnets were super low in charge.  I've got SD Slash pickups in there now which are great.

I found although they had enough power they had so much top end it was ice pick like and very thin

Thanks, from the cherrys I saw they were between 8lb 5oz and 9lb 3oz

Twinfan

Pretty much the range for most R8/R9/R0s, exactly what I would expect.

Yep, no bonkers outliers so far.

@terada what is the weight of the Washed Cherry you have chosen?

When I was looking at them they ranged from 8lb 5oz to 9lb 2.5oz

I've gone for one of the heavier ones at 9lb 1.5oz

I went for one at the lighter end, 8lb 8oz. when I looked there was a stonkingly beautiful one that weighed in at 8lb 15.5oz. A proper stunner, but the weight makes a difference for me.

Excellent!  I've got a R9 that's just under 8lbs so thought I'd go for one of the heavier ones.

That's the one, can't wait to see it in the flesh.

Did you go for one of the flamey ones?
