Just pulled the trigger on my first historic - 2003 R8, will see it Monday.
The wait is gonna kill me.
Thanks Mark (blueheeler)

You'll love it. Very cool top. Not "too" plain, plenty of figure, and a nice burst.

Congrats!

Congrat's, I have made myself a promise that I'm not buying any more guitars until I've saved up enough for a nice Historic. (unless I run across a retarded deal on something)

blueheeler · 07-31-2008, 09:06 AM

Rich,you're pretty good with that camera!!I'm glad you're happy with her,she is a great player.You see what i mean about the top,it has a lot of depth-very 3d for a plaintop.And the overspray on the neck binding,i think it look's very cool.Enjoy.

richlespaul · 07-31-2008, 06:29 PM

Here's a couple more for ya!

fretnot · 07-31-2008, 08:58 PM
