Just In... '09 R8 Faded Tobacco...

Just arrived today.
2009 VOS R8 Faded Tobacco... 9.4 lbs.

Smaller feeling neck than other R8's I'ved played...
Very similar to my R9. This is one aggresive sounding guitar.
Just like I like it.

IMO Pound for Pound the R8 is the best value the Custom shop offers.

I'm all outta GAS.... For the moment.

A few Pics.

Looks great, congrats! I have the same guitar, model, year and color and love it. You are right it is the best bang for the buck.

Yeah... R8's are really great. Shine yours up.

Gibson Pump Polish in the orange bottle.
Shined her right up. Good on the hardware too.

Beautiful. That's the understated elegance of a Plain Top that I love. It says "plug me in and play me fool" rather than "aren't I pretty".
