    Keeping true to his nickname, otherwise he should have changed it to memphis.

  • Everytime I begin to flirt with other guitars, my R8 gives me a stinking look and reminds me I'm lucky to have her!

    Nearly! It is one I've had a deposit on so it never actually made it into my possession!

    Nice guitar, has a bizarre flame knot on the top which I thought was cool looking. But the R9 has finished me off. 

    I only know of one other and that is already spoken for I'm afraid. This may very well be the last of the teas! I'll see if I can dig out some pics

    Guitarguitar Epsom have just had a 58 in cherry returned. Lovely grain in the plaintop.

    The one that'll be available next week, as above, is about 8.5lbs and definitely among the better ones I've played tonally:

    Coda just took in a used R8 from 2014 and it’s a snip at £2k. Very nice example from what you can see so far!

    Interesting that dealers seem to be pricing second hand ones in light of the recent deals whereas private sellers aren’t.

    It does say it has a few marks. Even so very keenly priced.

    Yup! Which ones are going to go first?

     I got laughed at for saying the second-hand market value was going to fall.... and yet here we are...

    Anyone selling one is going to laugh at you for saying that at the moment. They’ll think you’re trying it on.

    That would have been the magic price point for me, but I've just spent all my gear money on something silly.

    It’s varies from guitar to guitar but it’s not marketed as a 59 profile like the 2017s were. Generally more shoulder and a bit more variance from guitar to guitar. The 2017s are more consistently like a 59

    2017 was somewhat unique in that R8s all had an R9 carve. 

    Older ones are more likely to be a bit fatter - but with R*s the carve varies from example to example due to the handiwork involved... so it’s worth checking out.

    Looks nice - if I hadn’t just been goldtop shopping I might have bought that one.

    A 2014 R8 for £1999 is a steal though. Still has hot hide glue, custom buckers etc. I’d take that for the £500 saving over the 2017s. There’s a 2012 in the classifieds for £2500. This seems really expensive now.
