2012 R8 Custom Order Historic Makeovers ®

Thank God. Lemon Burst is so over done.

I wanted a Darkburst then and I still want it, just a little more faded.

New trussrod going in

The grain and mineral streaks on that guitar....just off the charts. I hope and I'm sure that HM will get those features to really pop in the final finish....amazing.

And you know, Gibson would have made that a Goldtop, because of the mismatch, streaks.
I took it from the stack and said I want an R8 with this board

New binding

My dark burst from HM is spot on! and it will fade over time and become my faded/played burst!

Great top on that one, I was surprised mine became an R9 too with the weird flame but I like it!

I'd love to go to Gibson and choose my LP... but TB is closer.

Joe, pay no attention to Mikey...he thinks everything should be a '59 cherry sunburst, with reflectors and double ring tuning keys. He'd do that to his kids, if he had any.

Well except for the cherry , I agree with the reflectors and double rings . They make everything look better . And now with the new tuners on the 13's , what a better chance to make an upgrade is there ?
