Sold - 2016 Gibson R8 - Lemonburst

Bridgehouse

Yes, it's that R8.

This is as new. It's a couple of months in my possession. It's been played very little - there are no marks, no knocks, no scratches, no dings. Nothing. Nada. 

It's a Peach Guitars handpicked special - retail at £3799

Original case, all case candy including COA and everything that came in the box when new. And it's lemonburst...

No trades - I'm not using it, and the money is going into the vintage bass pot. £2750

I'm near Peterborough. If you are even remotely near the east, or on a work route, then I will hand deliver. I'll meet up with you up to about 2 hours away from home, or you can pop over here and try it to your hearts content. I'll lavish you with as many photos as you like - but usual rules apply: It isn't sold until the cash is in my grubby mitts. (Which means, yes, you might get gazumped if someone is quick or if you dither).

Beautiful, have an early and probably pointless bump.

Trades?  

It's a stunner sir and fits my bill in about 18 months from now.   :-(

Another pointless early bump...

If you'd been selling this three weeks ago... and, er, for at least two and a half grand less(!)... (hehe) then I wouldn't have bought my lovely Standard Faded in Honeyburst - so luckily I'm almost immune to GAS over this... just filled with vicarious admiration.

That is truly a stunner.

(Assuming it all works out, I'm probably going to drool over the 60s Jazz more anyway)

I would, naturally, part trade for a 60's Fender Bass...

However, I suspect my target audience wouldn't have such an instrument gathering dust under the bed!

That's so beautiful I could cry

Ahhh Mark, what are you doing to me mate!  You know I think your lemonburst is lovely ... but its such lousy timing as I won't have available funds coming through from various sources until second part of the year.

It might be still being bumped then

I have a 60s Hofner Senator bass you can have in a straight trade. Everyone knows they're better than those boring old Fenders....

Didn't you mean to post this in one of my other ads? You know, the one for the pack of strings I have for trade?

Could you please let us know the weight (I know it's a pain to lug the poor thing on to the scales, but my back asked me to ask you)?  Thanks.

Yep - once I'm back from B and bloody Q I will do

I would have been round at yours with the cash at 8.00 this morning - had the price been £275.00 as I first read it :-)

Bridgehouse

Right, it's been on the scales.

To make @Voxman feel better - it's 8st 9lbs mate..

@mikeyrob73 - to you mate it's 2lb 4oz and is 13" long..

For everyone else, it's a shade over 8lbs and 8oz..

mikeyrob73

Trade deals off then @Bridgehouse ;

its just too big and heavy
