Double Creamin' the R8

duck2k · 05-11-2011, 07:24 PM

I have been thinking about double creamin' the R8 (Heather). I would like to have that kind of pickup look, and add a bone nut to her as well.

nicolasrivera · 05-11-2011, 07:29 PM

Yep double whites are hypnotic!

mfolet · 05-11-2011, 08:34 PM

Works for me!!!

MojoTone · 05-11-2011, 08:35 PM

I would like to put double creams in my R8 Tobacco Burst also!

HOT-BRIT · 05-11-2011, 08:38 PM

Yes double creams are awesome

Es Paul · 05-11-2011, 09:39 PM

If you don't feel like taking off her top, start with her bottom! That's what I did. Never looked back.

That is sure a pretty instrument thar!

My R8 was made in 07 as well. A pic or two:

I love the double creams. i think my R8 looks much better with her cream WCRs.

My R9 had a set of DW Zhangbuckers, but now has covered cream Throbaks. Here she is 5 days after my son was born.

duck2k · 06-02-2011, 07:38 PM

Well folks - my double creams came in, and I put them in the case with my R8. I will be dropping them off with my guitar guy after work tomorrow afternoon. Gonna have them installed, neck cleaned up a bit, and a bone nut put in. I wiill also be replacing my gold hatknobs for the darker amber ones to look mor vintage. I am excited of what 'Heather' will play like. 'Miss Amy' is next to go in for a basic checkup and a bone nut.

Heather:

HOT-BRIT · 06-02-2011, 07:54 PM

enjoy them

mcsdan · 06-03-2011, 05:38 AM

Double creams are good. I have some in my R0 - I defected to nickel covers for a while but the double creams are back in again now.

Double creams look great on any Les Paul.

That does look pretty awesome. Pickguard would work with that even better imo.

ACELUEK · 06-03-2011, 07:12 AM

Ah crap, every time I see someone else changing their historic pickups out I consider mine again.. I still have my originals in my R8, but my Traditional has DCs.. I'm pretty sure I'll end up with the DCs in my R8.. I never have cared for the covered pickups and was trying to keep the R8 original but do not think that will last very long.

JimmyAce2006 · 06-03-2011, 09:45 AM

Very nice guitars you have there

nicolasrivera · 06-03-2011, 11:18 AM

There is a special character double whites PUs gives to a burst, its hard to describe the feeling.

nwobhm · 06-03-2011, 11:23 AM

O.K. I DC'd, Throbaks in my 10' R8. Crappy pics though!

See what you can do by just removing a few words here and there.

In all seriousness, I think some double whites would look real nice!

Lowdown · 06-03-2011, 06:07 PM

This is the best thread I've seen in a long time.

Can't wait to put my DC's I ordered from Rayne at MHD in my Trad+

Keep 'em comin'. More pics!

Dood, dood, dood! Have I told you I just love that guitar of yours. That is one of the baddest lookin' '58's I had seen. The double creaams definitely show character on this piece of art.
