Beautiful playing and the best thread I have read on this forum to date. Thank you for all that it was a great journey.

great craftmanship...im shocked gibson remove that amount of wood when they chamber their guitars...i thought it would just be something like the size of the electronics hole or something at another part of the guitar and not the whole body...

I would have prefered to see them offer chambering as an available option, not the norm.

yes dino i know what you mean..it should be more of an option, well they are half doing that i suppose with the trads..
but still it should be offered on all the models..
im getting a r8 partly becasue of the un chamberd body...

I think that gibson takes less wood out of their guitar than I took out of mine. I actually think the guitar would have sounded more like an LP if I had left wood under the PUs, and probably will next time I do one of these. Though I was thinking about doing maple under the PUs instead of sapele.
