I think I've already seen two R8s that appear to be 2017 ones on ebay. One that looked nice and flamey didn't sell for 2,600.

There’s a rumour going around that 2 more may be arriving in the coming days....

Wowzers. I bow out for a few months and the Gibson-shitposting-central forum generates a gazillion post thread on Les Pauls being *good* ? These are truly the end times ;-)

You evil people, I'm over at your place on Saturday

So I was reading Poopots thread about his Customkits LP Special, and in it he makes reference to a vintage correct Gibson scale length. Do these R8s have that ?

Did you not get the 8 replacements?

FYI ...We've had a deposit cancellation so there is a washed cherry available on our site

Looks like another one has been shipped out to us. It al depends on if they have the correct replacements. I have a feeling we'll get 4 replacements and the rest as credits. We'll see...

Didn't last long, did it?

I’m waiting to see when I pop in to collect my Kemper from Peach on Saturday if there are any R8’s in stock. If there is a washed lemon I could be in serious trouble so I’m keeping my fingers crossed

I think you'll be in luck.  They might have a washed cherry or dirty lemon though

The 7lb 15oz superlight I've christened "Duane" - it has an Allman Brothers vibe about the tone:

Yours gets lighter and lighter!

(I need to remove the metal plate of the back of mine)

love that - my fav so far of the ones i have seen

Cheers!  @Powerslave bobbed over to my place yesterday and can attest that it sounds not too shabby either

@Twinfan - I can indeed!

An outstanding guitar.

If it's blow-out cousins come close, then this really has been the guitar deal of the century for everyone who was able to partake.

Just need one like this myself now

If I'd seen anything weighing no more than 8lb I'd have been tempted, but I think @Twinfan got the only one.

I don't think there were any others that low.  I think 8.3lb was the next closest?
