The first tFB R8 get together?

Legionreturns

Jam sesh this morning, and both @Modellista and I took the new R8s along for a play...

@dontgiveupyourdayjob had a play as well...


and this was his face when he realised he'd missed the boat on the deal of the century...



And although it hurt like a bitch because of knackered tendons, I just had to crank it through Modellista's Palmer, in to a Marshall 4x12...



We both love ours!

I expect Newcastle is too far for you to come for a Sunday morning jam isn't it @thomasross20 ?

We did... you didn't turn up!  

But yes, a big old Lester fest would be amazing! Write serial numbers down first though eh?

they all look really good examples, it's nice to see Gibsons looking like they "should" for the money

Ha! Missed it again. 

Once we've written the serials on scraps of paper, do they then go in a bowl?

Sorry to go off topic (and the R8s look fantastic, I'd love a shot and wish I could afford one) but that Nashville Tele hanging in the background - the way the strap's hanging made me think it was turqoise with a big purple strip and thought it looked surprisingly cool!
