My new 58 VOS

cousingrandpa · 10-27-2009, 06:11 PM

I just got a new 58 VOS paul. It plays & sounds amazing. I love the FAT neck & the overall tone. Here are 2 pics with & without the pick guard. I like it without the pick guard best, what do you guys think?

Dragonsoni · 10-27-2009, 06:15 PM

Congratulations! Very Nice Guitar - Without Pick Guard

oldgtarz · 10-27-2009, 06:15 PM

Nice, very tasteful color!

PINKBITS · 10-27-2009, 06:15 PM

Every bloody one of these f_ing VOS Lesters look stunning.

Congrats mate, I am jealous.

DanW · 10-27-2009, 06:18 PM

Awesome!

With PG that's the way it was meant to look.

It gives it character!

R9. · 10-27-2009, 06:22 PM

WOW! It's not but it almost looks bookmatched.
Looks great both ways but if it were mine, I'd leave the pg on.
What year it is?

Beren · 10-27-2009, 06:31 PM

wow, beautiful guitar man!
i think it looks good with the pg on

nice,pg on

Knarbens · 10-27-2009, 06:51 PM

That's not fair!

All those great historics in the section ...
Without pickquard for me!

Dan28607 · 10-27-2009, 06:59 PM

Nice. Congrats! Pickguard on.

eldiablo · 10-27-2009, 08:07 PM

Sweet... Congrats,

R8R6Ben · 10-27-2009, 08:31 PM

Great guitar! I like the pg on.

Dave1968 · 10-27-2009, 08:34 PM

Congratulations!! FAT necks are the best!! Better with the pickguard on btw!

NowGibson · 10-27-2009, 09:01 PM

I usually vote for without...but with it on looks right. Love em all.

Olli · 10-28-2009, 09:11 AM

Nice guitar..congrats. I used to have one like it and looking at your pics I wish I hadn´t sold it......

...I vote "pickguard on" btw. A proper Lester just gotta have a pickguard!

R'nien · 10-28-2009, 09:40 AM

On, looks like a production LP without it.

Slapjaw · 10-28-2009, 06:47 PM

O-ya, nice. Good luck.

jomo · 10-28-2009, 06:59 PM

Man that is gorgeous. I found a brand new one for 2800 and thinking very seriously but I really don't want a bigger neck than my old R9. I'd like to find a plain top tobacco R0.

marshallmellow · 10-29-2009, 12:05 AM

Very Beautiful!! R8's rock!

Pickguard on.

dkirwan · 10-29-2009, 12:11 AM

Just beautiful!!

vladmaximus · 10-29-2009, 01:24 AM

wow..beautiful...

ROCK ON ok...

Ride on a Pony · 10-29-2009, 02:09 AM

I wasn't going to say anything, but as the support for mr. pickguard was so overwhelming, I'd just like to say:

Leave that cheap piece of plastic off!

dylanR · 10-29-2009, 03:33 AM

Beautiful R8! Big fan of them

jomo · 10-29-2009, 10:27 AM

My 2 cents........
Pickguard on!!!

Satch0922 · 10-29-2009, 10:19 PM

Gorgeous!! Pick guard on for me!

Congratulations. The R8 is an guitar that brings a huge smile to my face when I pick it up. That is what I like about them.

dave999z · 10-29-2009, 11:09 PM

i vote no pickguard. cool guitar!

cousingrandpa · 10-30-2009, 12:10 AM

Thanks guys, I tend to like it best without the pickguard. I definitly like the feel better with out & this one plays smooth & sounds like a monster. I play it through a Fender Super Sonic & damn!!

ant_riv · 10-30-2009, 03:32 AM

Congratulations!
Very nice looking guitar.
Enjoy ....

Duke_18_watt · 10-30-2009, 06:29 AM

I love those darkburst plaintops (why I bought my G0). I've never had my guard off, but that picture sure makes me think about it. She's a beauty!
