Well happily the truss rod tool that came with my new BFG fits the R8

Unhappily it also makes an nice little dent on the back of said R8 when dropped........

Ouch! Tell you what, I'll give you 50 quid for it while it still has some scrap value

Seriously though, it is always a bit shit when that happens, but at least you can now rock the thing without further worry!

Not really a fan of washed cherry, but bloody hell that’s nice @Fifty9 ;;;

and the first little dent hurts, but after that it’s all just character.

Outstanding. That’s my favourite kinda washed cherry top - looks so good with that subtle flame. Congrats!

Just enquired and it has been sold to a customer with that name.

Lucky Alex. Looks like a super nice guitar, and he also has possibly the greatest name I've ever heard !

Well, by a twist of fate and the stars aligning, this guitar will actually be delivered to me on Thursday!

I do not have a name as cool as Alex though, but I can live with that!

Just had the pleasure of seeing pics of most of the fresh batch of 2017 Deal 59s that Guitarguitar have received today.

Some awesome flamage going on, iced tea, washed cherry and dirty lemon.

I might have caved and earmarked one.... 

Going up on the website tomorrow I think, tell them Skippy sent you and I get a free one (I wish!)

Just saw this at Andertons...  A Standard VOS with £2400 off the RRP (and still too expensive  )

Told you ! 
What we’re seeing here gents is a re-pricing of this asset ! 
Not that I’m complaining of course as I’m going to receive mine tomorrow!

While obviously a great saving, I can't get excited about the 2017 R9s when you know that the only difference to the 2017 R8s is a fancier piece of maple - they are otherwise identical.

I know that's always been the case, except there were the neck profile differences too, but the 40% (!!!) mark up over the R8s is mental!

I'm trying really hard to not buy one, to the point I come on here less at the moment just to not see any more. 

A new batch of them is going to be hard to ignore, I was sure I'd got through the final batch and not bought one

That is absolutely gorgeous...how come the cherries looked shite earlier in the thread but those who took the plunge on them really came out tops, IMO. I love my Iced Tea but that is equally as gorgeous. 

PS. Please tell me there's no photo trickery going on there.

Agreed that’s a cracking cherry burst
