NGD - 2016 Les Paul R8

[Cookiee]

After searching for over about a year now and having played countless R8, R9 and R0s, I have finally found the one!

2016 R8 with a flame top. This thing just screams. Just need to order some reflectors and it will be perfect!

With a top like that, who needs R9s?!? That is nice.

Are the plastics original? And what pickups are those?

 

[Dilver]

YES. Just yes.

Wizz pickups and pickup rings, everything else is original. The previous owner also flipped the magnet for an out of phase sound

Wizz PAFs are great. I've got them in my R8. Enjoy!

Nice guitar but why are you putting reflectors on it?

Nice guitar but why are you putting reflectors on it?

Mainly because I find them easier to use when gigging, but also think they look fairly cool

Gorgeous Top, HNGD

Mmmm. Ok. Personally I dislike reflectors. Speed knobs might be better but reflectors look tacky to me.

Very nice and congrats!

Gorgeous, what a great top! Looks quite similar to my old R8. Congrats!
