Useless poll - reflectors for the CR8 or R9?

R9. · 11-07-2009, 12:07 PM

This is a tough one, I know.
I bought three sets of reflector knobs and decided to put them on my R6 & R8.
The tough one is deciding which other guitar gets them - the CR8 or R9?
I've taken factors such as tone & feel into consideration

but still aren't certain which guitar should get them.

If you had these two, which one would get reflectorized? Or both?

Maybe put the reflectors on these two instead of the R8?

...and here's the R6 for good measure.

No.

LongBeach · 11-07-2009, 12:10 PM

Personally R9, I put reflectors on every lp I can.
(have 1 lacking at the moment)
I LIKE REFLECTORS

Gary Moore style on both of them would be awesome!

Boleskinehouse · 11-07-2009, 12:25 PM

They are not R0s nor are they SGs or Firechickens, so you can't put reflectors on there. It wouldn't be "right".

You are not allowed to comment on the double whites in my R8.

AXE · 11-07-2009, 12:28 PM

Reflect0rz look good on everything.

So do double creme.

your white 68 deserves reflector's.
It's un lp-ish of you not to put them on.

It was not born with those awful things, so it won't be getting any.

This coming from the guy who said he didn't care about historical accuracy.

As for the double whites - hey, I've been good about that and kept my mouth shut, lately.

Boleskinehouse · 11-07-2009, 01:42 PM

I don't care about historical accuracy. That's why my R8 has double whites, but no one else is allowed to do such things.

R9. · 11-07-2009, 01:45 PM

Sorry, I'll put the top hats back on the R6 right away!

benjammin420 · 11-07-2009, 01:50 PM

reflectors for all!

patrick ginnaty · 11-07-2009, 02:07 PM

neither

dennistruckdriver · 11-07-2009, 02:08 PM

No fourth poll choice?

snaredrum · 11-07-2009, 02:16 PM

i put them on my tokai as it's the reddest of my guitars, and reminds me of a '60 more than the others.

myspace.com/jessenoah · 11-07-2009, 02:32 PM

Neither. Reflectors are the reason Gibson dropped the Les Paul after 1960!

uburoibob · 11-08-2009, 08:52 AM

Peter Green style...

R9. · 11-08-2009, 05:40 PM

Well, after much consideration I decided to put them on the CR8.
The R9 is a nicer sounding guitar; so, I figured the CR8 could use a little boost in the tone department.

Really? And here I always thought is was because the guitars were too heavy for people.

2 on each!

Danelectro · 11-08-2009, 07:39 PM

I put a set of 1969 reflectors on my CR8 just to see how they look and I found that I like both the looks and feel of them. The extra height makes them noticeable easier to roll with a finger, and since this is my main player I decided to keep them on there.

Olli · 11-09-2009, 01:42 AM

Mmmhh...

I have one of those.....

So my thumb points up on this one Mike!
