Re: NGD! R8 2012 VOS Faded Cherry
That's nice flame on a new R8!!
I was under the impression that most if not all R8s were plain tops these days but that one says otherwise. Happy new guitar day & happy playing.

In the shop the flame wasn't so apparent until I got her home actually. A lot depends on the light and angle - but I was pleasantly surprised

Re: NGD! R8 2012 VOS Faded Cherry
Update:
After a month or so of playing I'm loving the playability and the sound of this thing. Hard to describe but it just feels great. I'm still not 100% sure on the fatness of the neck for faster soloing but it's getting easier as time goes on. Definitely easier sitting down than standing up! Superb for chords though! |

Re: NGD! R8 2012 VOS Faded Cherry
Love the cherry Lps. It really is a great look, if not the "classic burst" look. Frankly, I can't get enough of them...yours is a butte.
