WTB CR8 Les Paul or similar
What's Hot
After one of them chambered reissues ain't I. Would also consider sub-8lb solid Les Pauls. Only the fat-necked need apply.
Doesn't have to be a Gibson, but it does have to be posh because I'm selling everything and trying out the 'only one guitar' thing. Luthier-made-with-someone's-actual-hands would be nice.
I'm a fussy bastard so please don't be offended if I reject you. It's (probably) not personal.

Nicely balanced, and as you say, a massive neck.
I’m not selling mine so not really much help to you, you just very rarely see these so any excuse to trot out a pic!

@andy1839, yours is the most similar-looking to mine that I've seen, with tiger-striping across the body plus grain marking along it.
Gretsch duo jets also have it, as do telecaster thinlines.
I don't know what CR8s would go for now because you hardly ever see them. Mine cost me £1,900, secondhand, which seemed a bit of a bargain but that was about 4 years ago.
One went recently on eBay for under £2000, which I'd be happy to pay. For the first time in years I have the money sitting around, but I can't find the guitar to buy.
Sorry, that's not going to help, is it?
