Re: Workmanship Quality on Historics

When my R8 arrived I looked it over for defects that would affect playability. Finish flaws and off center binding dots don't bother me.
The bit I love is when people get into "is the Les Paul logo in the right place on the headstock?" Like they measured it in 1958! Looking through the Scott/Da Pra book the dots in the binding were a little hit and miss nack in the day.

It has to come down to "do I like this guitar?" I know I'd struggle to like most of them.

I'm going to play my R9 a bit more before I go to bed. It's too good to be using as a practise hack, but I just can't help myself. Nuff said?
