Someone buy this! from : localhost/cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=7375813080

yup..figured top R8..at THAT price???...greattttttttt deal! Outta my league price-wise, but I've got a plaintop comin Friday

Top on that one is gorgeous. Prolly has 57 classics in it?

yep, 98 year

Indeed great price.
Usually the R8s are priced at around the 5000 region

What do those R8s, R7s and such mean?

Buy a Gibson without playing it first? Surely you jest.

Reissue '58, '57, etc. A reissue 1960 would be R0 I believe.

(I just found this out a few months ago... and the bursts are definately my favorite guitar... lol)

That is a nice guitar, for sure. I really like the top on it.

Custom shop is a pretty damn safe bet. And even if the tone/QC sucked...because of what it is, you'd get your money back selling it, if not more.

R8 figured tops are very much sought after..they stoped making them in 2002 or 2003 IIRC.

Dang it Scott, right before Christmas too!!!oooOOOO that is sooOO fine!!!

If anything has mojo, that things gotta have it.

Hmm too much figuring for me...

I don't need another R8 LP, but that one is yelling at me! The one I have (bought over the net), is the goldstandard by which few ever get by.

If it was priced better, I'd have already pulled the trigger.

OOOOOHHHHHHHHH very nice...tempted...infact very tempted...but i would have to lie about the price to my wife,i'd be dead if she found out the real price...think i'll just look at the piks.

I'm not too crazy about uber flames anymore cause it seems like thats the only characteristic of a les paul that makes it 'cool' or 'suck' in many people's eyes. Kinda like someone who judges women only by their looks and doesn't really care about the inside or should i say 'tone'.

Scott's 58 is an exception cause its different, but gourgeous.
What I am a sucker for is butterscotch like theGoldenBoy's r8 and brockbursts kinda like this
from : localhost/cgi.ebay.com/2005-Gibson-Hist...QQcmdZViewItem

thats kinda like the finish on the r7 refin you had right Scott?

Or if you happen to have an extra $40000 around.... An original '58 Custom

This is actually painful.
