(I'm joking - just echoing the similar comments in response to discussion on dropping 2.5k on an r8) :-)
My Trading Feedback | You Bring The Band
Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youShockingly, some were in the high 9lbs. Didn't expect that.
Makes the R8's look even better value
Strangely, it really doesn't seem that much in the current market.
But it's still about £800 more than I've ever spent on a guitar. I seem to have mentally accepted current prices without ever actually paying them.

The ones at Kenny’s look nice too.
For me to jump on the R9 train it needs to be seriously light.
Also, is it me or does dirty lemon look better as a plaintop? The ones I've seen on the forum in the R8 thread all looked superb but from checking out some youtube vids, while IMO the ones with flames just don't seem as good as other colours with flame.
Their limited amount of 2017 R8 stock was already covered in dust from hanging on the wall, so I can only presume that they plan to sit it out - potentially, for a very long time (with the prospect of newer Custom Shop stock moving in alongside existing stock).
I asked the question earlier but received no responses - has anyone been successful in pushing for a price (near-) match in stores not officially involved in the blow-out be that for R8 or R9?
