Hi guys,
I want to show you my first historic. Its a lightly figured R8 in lemonburst, its part of a special run of a german dealer and the main feature is that it comes with Tonepros hardware. I have played a CC 28 (btw: thanks to all who replied to the questions I asked about these) but decided to look further. I saw this guitar online and just ordered it right away. What can I say: the neck has the right thickness and not to much shoulder and plays great. It weighs 3,9kg (ca. 8lbs 9oz). Unplugged its louder than my chambered studio and also much more resonant, plugged in my plexi its just a super crunchy sound that I love. I upgraded to Shed PAF Daddys, they sound just a bit better than the stock custombuckers and have also more accurate covers.
The grain is more pronounced but Im not the best photograph, but here are some pics nonetheless:
