Re: Flame Top vs. Plain Top
I've got both, a standard with flames an a R8 plaintop ..... the R8 is iced tea, little grain, light, lots of sustain - the standard is more heavy, great looks, desert burst and thinner neck profile, and more bite .....

Re: Flame Top vs. Plain Top
to me it depends on what I'm playing, if it's 60's blues then I use the R8, with more high gain sounds I use the standard or my studio, but that's just for the tone, if you're wondering about the looks I prefer the flames ..... (can't afford a R9.....) but the sound of my R8 makes me play better, so I voted plaintop

@ poll results so far:

the results so far are pretty interesting.. it's cut-throat down the middle between plain and flame.. not quite what i expected.. but i hope more will answer to the poll so we could really see the truth
