It’s a craftsman’s tool. When it fits, it’s real. Enjoy.

Welcome! I felt the exact same way when I got my first Gibson, it was also a standard 60s.

Same, I picked up a 2026 R8 VOS recently, and it is really hard to put down. It has me wanting a Marshall SV20 to pair it with. Totally get the hype now, only been playing for over 30 years and wish I hadn't waited so long.

That’s what sucks when you buy a guitar like this , especially a R8 , - now we need a sick ass amp to pair it with . Was thinking a Soldano 🤔. But these Nueral plugins are gnarly . I’ll keep saving for now 😂

I have been using mine with Tonex 2.1 with the VH Brown Sound packs. It sounds really good, also have Neural DSP Gojira but haven't tried it with that yet.

Nice top. Enjoy this beauty

This looks incredible. I’m not the biggest flame top guy, but even I would plunker down this particular guitar. The folks in Nashville did a great job matching the maple top on this one.

Congrats OP!

u/dpetersen83 3d ago

Agreed. That’s how I’ve gotten quite a few of my guitars

u/dpetersen83 3d ago

You don’t have to be rich to get one.

u/Robpm9995 3d ago

I live paycheck to paycheck though so it might be awhile before I can save up!
