R8 Peach Deal

Sad times. Always the few who spoil things for the many.

Getting back onto a nicer topic, I saw the real thing today:

UK guitar show at Olympia they have a genuine 58 on display.  (The 1956 label is for the one you can see the corner of next to it).

Right, back to ogling beautiful bits of mahogany and maple. 

Anyone care to post pics of their tobacco bursts?

Perfect timing @crunchman !

I can't believe that was a real one. I went up to it, felt the neck and thought, hmmm, feels like the R9 necks of my recent acquisitions, followed by, 'no way they'll have a real one just here to touch, they're far too valuable, just another reissue'.

I suppose at least I can't tell the difference between the real thing and a reissue. Lucky me I guess

I love a good Tobacco burst.

Seems bizarre that they’d have an original sitting there like that! Amazing opportunity for you guys to see and touch it though. In all my time at various high end shops or roadshows or things like Musicmesse, I don’t think I’ve ever touched a vintage guitar of any significance!

That unusual lemon/amber top that @johnl & @ellwood linked from Peach is really beautiful, it's almost like a piece of old oak.

Hope it sounds & plays as good for whoever buys it.

I’m gonna get into trouble from the purists for this but sod it 

Thrown a Suhr Doug Aldrich I had lying around  in the bridge and now we’re taking. Right up my street and a huge smile on my face when I struck the first chord. 

Will this get me banned from the thread
