I know I know, it would ideal to try first, but unfortunately I really can't spare the time to visit a store, they are hours/hundreds of miles away. Then again a lot of Fretboarders bought R8's from Peach without trying or seeing them in person! As for second hand, I'll have to use credit for this purchase and I want a brand new spangly guitar. You know that feeling when you've got your heart set on something and you just can't shake it off?
Neck, I prefer a slim neck. I tried an R8 at last years Bristol Jam, it was too thick for me.
and before anyone tries to poo-poo it, ask yourself this, why do you think they shout "timbre" when chopping down trees???
142 is nice, relatively subtle, although quite tiger-like so if you don’t like that, don’t buy it.
233 is the pick of the Iced Teas for me. A lot of those tops scream “R8 reject” to me. Sorry for being a top snob.
Of the Bourbons, 152 is interesting and not too over the top, I like the streaks. Not so keen on the bow tie either side of the bridge. 211’s the most attractive to me, and if you want subtle flame without obvious flaws, it’s 156.
I feel like the Cilla Black of the maple world.
Edit: @ICBM said much the same thing but better above. Heed his advice.

perhaps I’ll call Peach next week.

They show a red tinge to the burst that you don’t see on Peach’s photos, Perhaps it’s the light and angle that shows this up, as mentioned by @Andy_k , it’s difficult to capture? This one looks pretty stunning to me
