Though some will claim otherwise, there is nothing inherently different between an R7, R8, R9, R0 or G0 that would make one sound different from the others. But as has been pointed out, there can be subtle (and sometimes less than subtle) variation from one guitar to the next. But as R9 always says, these are the same guitars!

Based on this, since you already have a G0, I'd think about something other than the R8 - since they look the same (both plain tops). Maybe an R9 if $$$ aren't an issue, or an R7.

Let's see that SG!!!
