R8 Peach Deal

Anyone know what the PSL stands for? Mine's apparently a VOS NH PSL. Assuming NH is nickel hardware....

Pre Sold Limited

It was from a limited run in 2017 (so they have 59 neck profiles if you weren't aware). All it means is a really small batch of these Les Paul's were made with these exact specs.

I suspect that the taxman definitely is at least  

According to the internet:  "The "PSL" part of this Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul stands for "Pre-Sold Limited" - meaning this guitar was a part of a small batch of LPs that had these exact specs."

We have a serious problem - and this forum does nothing but feed it.

But hey, there's a lot worse things you could spend you money on.

A telecaster ?

I'm looking at the 330s

I'm trying (and failing) to convince the other half that it isn't just a guitar, it's a nice furniture piece that will impress all of our friends.  It would also match the current living room decor.

Some please post more suggestions I could use.



I’m with you on the 330, but the sale of these is actually putting me off as I’m waiting to see if other Gibson prices drop. If they drop the Memphis prices further, I’d be very interested.

So - I can't really be arsed trawling through the previous 35 pages of text (I only joined this convo on page 34!). 

How many of us managed to bag an R8/R9 as a result of this thread?

It may be simpler to compile a list of Fretboarders that didn't buy one.

Will be pushing 30 by now, surely...

Couple more 59s have showed up at GG at £3.5k.

Could be tempted....... what do these go for ordinarily?

I think they were £5499.

If it's the figuring you like and you're a gambling man I'd hold out to see what Peach and Coda get next... because some of the R8s have remarkably figured tops. That is literally the only difference this year between these guitars - the necks are identical.

I did try to collate numbers on the thread that I started just to collate numbers.  But that soon went astray ...

I reckon it’ll be 20-25 via Peach and up to 10 elsewhere.

A number of people PM’d me (as asked) and they’d not disclosed themselves on the thread.


Looked at another way, members of this forum spent close to £100k on R8s last week.



Not everyone who found £2499 for an impulse buy guitar managed to find £20 for our annual fund raiser to keep the forum going though.

Which makes you think ...

It was ~17 at the end of last week, lots gone today and yesterday

Hmm. I thought a 59 was 1 better than a 58,....

It's lucky dip with GG then (in terms of tops/weights). Perhaps hang on and see what else appears in the next week or two.

Separate thread, but does it have to be made annually?

Is there a donate button anywhere, @TTony ?

The better question to ask. That's what I was thinking!
