2013 Historics, Reissues and Collectors Choice pics and info thread

[tdarian]

Someone should really pick this R8 up. The guitar looks identical to a R9 and only weighs 8lbs 9oz. House of Guitars!

Any of you HOG sales facilitators happen to know how deep the neck on this lovely is at the 1st and what the shape of the profile (D or C) is? I lean large....

Feel free to send more pics via PM or email, OK if Curt contacts as well, he can pester me all he wants.

Tom

You guys do great work! Thx.

Tdarian call Curt now for godsakes for a top like that on a '58 Reissue you play it however it comes lol!!!!

But seriously that's the best "light figured" R8 I've ever seen!!

This is one of the best figured R8's. I'm the idiot, yes! I had a deposit on it and I decided to go with a hand-picked R9. Maybe I'll change my mind, lol!!

You should get it, haha!

LPB-7...Nothing wrong with a hand picked topped R9!!!! Good choice....but that is a stellar R8!

Not for me....for once I will show restraint!

It has a full C shape with a slight V the best that I can remember which brings it to a transitional 58 to 59 type neck.I tend to like these best as of late and my CC#15 is very close to this one.

Wow, that R8 is just unbelievable! I`m really gassing for a nice `13 R8 these days.
LPB-7, sure you`re not buying it? If not I might ask Curt at HOG for more details on that one. With that neck description it just seems perfect

And also, this thread is just fantastic!

Yeah, I'm sure. I really wanted Lemonburst so I ended up getting a R9. This is a great value and one of the best R8 tops of the year. Mfolet has had some real nice R8's and I had a sick faded tobacco. This one is up there or even better. The weight is great also. You better grab it before someone else does. I can't imagine that guitar lasting the rest of this week.

Thanks. Yeah, I`ve seen some really killer `13 R8s here. I`d love to try some out first, but it`s not so easy. Not many of these around here in Norway.

Just sent Curt an e-mail asking for details/price.

 

[LPB-7]

Can't remember the s/n on it...I did check out several different LP's while I was there

here's a pic of it I took...

Someone grabbed this one and it wasn't me. HOG has one left and it's a R0 but not this particular one.

 

[mfolet]

The killer R8 was still there too.

[mfolet]

No 2014s today but I know where you can still get a sweet 2013 spec'ed CC#6.

 

[tspoon5150]
