NGD 2010 R8 Plain Top

[Demars]

Finally, my first Historic.
2010 VOS R8 - Iced Tea
I have to thank you guys for all the help during the negotiations with the previous owner.
The guy was a collector and didn`t even took off the VOS sticker from the pickguard. It has the COA and all the case candy.
It`s in mint condition.

I have some more pics if you`re interested.
You can see some other pics (took by the previous owner) here: http://www.mylespaul.com/forums/historics-reissues/289713-2010-r8-les-paul-real-fake.html - scroll down and you`ll find it.

With all the different shades of Iced Tea, don`t you guys think it resembles a Washed Cherry a bit more than a Iced Tea? I`ve been looking some photos on the internet an how can those two guitar be iced tea???

(those pics arent mine, just took from internet. If they`re yours and you want me to remove it, just tell me.)

My 05 R8 Ice tea is much lighter than yours. Almost no red at all.

Top one looks like a cherryburst, the bottom one looks like a honeyburst.

Yours looks sweet, congrats!

Beautiful plain top! Congrats and enjoy!

 

[musicmaniac]

Excellent no matter what color you call it!

I was thinking about fading the red a little bit by putting it under the sun. Nothing abrupt, just to try to get a little more brownish. Do you think it will fade or its just going to be a waste of time?

Nice R8 plaintop. I have an 07 that looks just like it. It's cherry. I love mine and hope you enjoy yours. Congrats.
