My First Custom Shop

[Great R8]

My first custom shop of any kind; 2006 R8:

First time I played it at the store it sounded amazing, I went home and though I could finally stop looking and I bought it a week later. The other thing that got me was the neck. The plain tops are a complete mismatch, strangely enough, I like it. It's all over the place!

Congrats! Fat neck? Looks awesome. Doesn’t matter that the top doesn’t match, it’s got that real deal Les Paul vibe. And some of the older Historics have great looking rosewood fretboards. You did good

 

[Great R8]

Yes, fattest neck I've ever played! (on an electric)

"The Custom Shop" is a subforum for 'Les Paul hot rodding, conversion, restoration, modding, aging, etc.'
(yes it's a little confusing)

You might get better responses in the Historics and Reissues subforum

Man, that is one beautiful R8. If it plays and sounds half as good as it looks, I'd say you got the jackpot.

Happy new guitar day!

Can mods move this thread to the Historics and Reissues subforum?

How much did you lay in bed thinking about it before you bought a ring and proposed to her?

6 days, but I had to move heaven and earth.
