Sweet Lemon!!!!!!
I started a post last week on the lpf about daves guitars having about 65 R8S in stock and kept getting more in. I knew I was in trouble when I just had to check again and more came and I saw this 2012 R8.I was hoping it had a small neck so I would not get it. I called my guy and he told me its one of the best sounding and playing out of the bunch. And shit the neck was .935 and 8.6lbs. You know the saying,,, If you keep going into the barber shop,,, At some point you will get a a hair cut.

That's gorgeous, Joe! Congrats! Actually, it reminds me a lot of my '12 CR8...possibly cut from the same hunk of wood, and finished at the same time as yours!

I have it posted in the other forum and I ask for your help in taking pics of it. I suck at it. Yes It does look a lot like your CR8 i was looking at it last night to compare. Yours has more minerals and flecks and mine has a little more flame I think.
