Historic Chambered Club...show them

mfolet · 05-08-2011, 07:47 AM

2011 CR8 light Figured Lemon burst Gloss.7.6lbs.

Chris · 05-08-2011, 08:16 AM

Nice guitar Mfolet, nice looking top for sure. I have never checked one out. Do they sound a little like a semihollow?

cooljuk · 05-08-2011, 08:21 AM

So how much do these guys weigh? Maybe it'd be worth posting that with your photos.

My solid R9 weighs so much less than my cheesed Trad, so does a chambered Historic feel like a Strat with a heavy neck?

Nice top on that one, Moflet! Looks great with the double creams too!

good idea,mine is 7.6 lbs. on bathroom scale.
Thanks guys.
Oh,They are not neck heavy and they don't sound that much different than solid bodied les pauls.Maybe a tad brighter.

Chris · 05-08-2011, 09:13 AM

I would not have guessed brighter. Interesting. I bet it balances well while playing in sitting position!

Just a tad on the neck pup but really not much different in tone over all.

RobP · 05-08-2011, 09:28 AM

Very nice guitar! Thanks for sharing!

27sauce · 05-08-2011, 09:33 AM

My 2007

27sauce · 05-08-2011, 09:38 AM

Yeah, it does not sound too different than a solidbody. It sounds like an old guitar. It gives the illusion of an old dried out guitar. It is a tad bright, and the pickups are unpotted, a little microphonic, in a good way.

7.4lbs

That's a very good description of the 'chambered sound'!

roscoenyc · 05-08-2011, 10:44 AM

Here's mine.
'06 CR-8 from Marks.

Alvinfan · 05-08-2011, 11:09 AM

I just joined the club 4 days ago : 2011 CR8 from Mark - GREAT guitar !

oldgtarz · 05-08-2011, 01:34 PM

Here are mine, the cherry and iced tea are both from '07.

goodwater · 05-08-2011, 05:51 PM

just got this a couple of days ago---really like it, not much different from my 08 R8, neck is a little thinner, not too much volume difference when played acoustically but is lighter but not a huge difference there either---haven't taken pics at home so here is a pic from the dealer's site

Hey Mike,

I haven't had time to get over to the HOG. Do they have more of these?

Thanks,

Bob

Yes they do Bob.Its a Amber Orange Burst with a very vintage looking top.
Thank you Barbarino

coldengray · 05-08-2011, 07:33 PM

WOW - mfolet, that top is superb. Eff you I'm so jealous!

stephenwz968 · 05-08-2011, 07:39 PM

Here's a quick shot of my 2010 Lemonburst "lightly figured" CR8 -

Danelectro · 05-08-2011, 10:01 PM

L>R
2007 Chambered '58
2009 Double Carve '58
2009 Chambered '58 (recently sold)

2007 Chambered '58 - 7.6 lbs

2009 Chambered '58 - 7.1 lbs

Another Chambered '58 that I no longer own; 2004 "Cloud 9" CR8 - 7.4 lbs

pinefd · 05-08-2011, 10:19 PM

This is an '07 CR8 that I used to own (but wish I still had):

Boy, if I still had this one, it would most certainly be off getting a makeover right now!

Are those all chambered?

snaredrum · 05-09-2011, 07:15 AM

if i was to get a 'real' les paul, it'd be one of these.

Fracture · 05-09-2011, 07:15 AM

2004 CR7, 1 of 14 manufactured that year.Not #1, but 3 were darkbacks.

kdm · 05-09-2011, 08:30 AM

Nice!

Lots of nice looking guitars in this thread. Keep 'em coming! I think the figured CR8s tend to look more like vintage bursts than a lot of R9s do.

No, the goldtop and darkburst are solid. Both are pretty light but on stage I prefer the CR's or my Teye.

i would agree with that (and i'm not just saying that because I have one, it was actually one of the reasons that I went with a CR)

2007 CR8.... love the fine flame...
