R8 Peach Deal

Whitecat

Might have been a month-end thing in August? If they were struggling to hit sales targets maybe they were more willing to play ball then... try again at closer to the end of this month and see how you get on...

Still undecided. I currently have the 2014 iced tea and 2017 cherry and am looking for a third. I have a superlight 7.96lb Dirty Lemon R9, a superlight 7.94 tobacco R9, and a medium 8.7lb Cherry R8 all on hold.

I do really like cherry bursts, but it seems silly not to get another colour. That said the cherry on hold is wonderful sounding yet with a distinctly different voice to my current two. It would also save me a grand.

I'm still waiting to see the backs of everyone's R8s!

Here’s a photo of the only R8 I decided to keep. Absolutely beautiful tone. Perfect balance of bass, mids and treble. It has great projection and easily heard in the mix as tonight’s band practise showed. Weighs 9lbs 1oz. Slightly slimmer 59 neck. The gloss finish is really smooth and makes the neck feel silky, not sticky. Nice!

Beautiful - lovely flame, lovely grain, and cherry. Its a winner...

...lets see some 9s too!

A handsome beast. Can see why you gravitated to the R9s as you clearly have an eye for a bit of flame.

Not sure what it is, but Lenny Kravitz was playing a tasty-looking LP at Hyde Park. (Apols for potential thread derail)

I unsubbed from this thread - it's quite a lonely experience.

But I'm glad I came back as this is to die for Les Paul lushness.

Google goss has it is an early millennium R9.

(Hey Lenny I can play that chord, am I in?)

No good for you though matey - it's too light at 8.2lbs

Mine is bloody lovely - lots going on in the wood. I’ll get some pics for you later. I know you are eager to see booty.
