Man, it’s really good I just bought an ES-330 as otherwise I’d have to buy a Les Paul... and still tempted!

Any chance you can include a bunch of flowers for my wife in with the guitar. Smooth the blow a bit.

Right.  Ignorance admission time.

While these all look gorgeous, can anyone explain to me in words of one syllable why/how these R8 jobbies are (at least) £1k 'better' than my LP Standard (2003 model, if that makes a difference): they all look virtually identical?

- confused, of that London

Standard prices have increased year on year - these are basically the same price as a 2018 Standard....

Definitely need to try before buying is my policy especially at those prices. I tried a custom les Paul recently at a shop and really didn't like it compared to my very standard les Paul. Looked nice though. Looking nice does t always mean a nice playing and sounding instrument IMO Id love to hear from on anyone who bought one of the peach range as to what they think of them ?

Definitely understand this, but I'm at the other end of the country and there's no way I can make it down to see them in person before they're gone.

Also, having bought 4 guitars from Peach before without handling them first, two of them 2014 historics, I am comfortable with it. The two 2014's were excellent and they seemed to be consistent in terms of build and tone with all the others I have seen before and since.

It is a gamble, but I'm prepared to take it.

I wouldn't worry. If it is not your thing you are within your rights to return it or you may just be offered the same money to sell it on here. 

I'm nowhere near Peach and I don't have time so if I do get one it'll be an internet order.

I feel the same, there are safety nets

I regret not buying a refin nocaster in 2004 for $NZ5k while I had the chance, and I regret not getting one of the £280 LP Jrs in the Amazon blowout a year or two back. So this time I'm giving it a punt. Could be a keeper! Stranger things have happened
