Re: R0, R8, R9 - Do they all sound the same?

Think of it like the Les Paul Standard - you have '50s necks & '60s necks but ultimately, they're both Les Paul Standards. See what I mean?
That is why I picked the SG over the R8, I thought the G0 and R8 would be pretty close.

I think fatter necks sustain better?
