NGD and NAD (belated) R8 and a Swart STR-Tweed
A belated thanks to BigDipper15 for the sweet 2011 R8 gloss that arrived in the advertised mint condition and to Cream City music for my score of a 2011 Swart Space Tone Reverb Tweed amp. This completes a 2 guitar and 1 amp liquidation replaced with the style, size, and tone I seek. Here are two impromptu pics. Enjoy.

Yes it certainly was an awesome day. I am amazed at the variety of tones available with this combo. They are also simply beautifully made products which pushes some of my buttons as well. I am fortunate to have such a nice set up. Stoked.

HNGD, very nice setup.
As I didn't know the little Swart amp I check around a bit and that could be exactly the thing I need. But WTF, 1.600 Euros here in Germany! What do those cost in the US?

I was in the high 3 digit range in USD for this mint used example. The retail is $1350. 1600 Euros is steep!

...congratulations! A fine amp & nice looking R8 for sure. As a fellow Swart owner, I know just how good that rig sounds! A great set up you've got there!

My first Historic was a 2011 R8 Faded Tobacco (see image below). I had to let it go because of intonation problems. Now I want one again
