Coda have the Les Pauls now too

There’s no mention of a ‘59 neck profile on the Coda guitars. This was important for me.

Rob

Ours are the same guitars 2017 Spec R8's. Every regular 58 from about 2013 has had the 59 neck, they re introduced the bigger neck this year, but to be honest it's still not as big as some of the older R8's which were defiantly on the chunky side

Thanks for the clarification Doug. Good to see you here.

So there you have it, buy with impunity!

Cheers @DougCoda good info. I'm guessing all the suppliers are blowing out the same batch?

TFB: The kids are R8

Do fender CS ever do/plan to do something like this any time soon?

doubt it - Fender C/S are moving to a custom order basis shortly _ they will carry no stock in the UK/EU or USA - All stock will be pre-ordered - Be it via you the customer - us the dealer or via limited runs via NAMM etc

We are having to look at a 50 piece or more order for delivery during 2019

He told me 100!

The 59 neck was only mentioned at Peach, everywhere else, including GG where I bought mine states 58. Maybe a typo by Peach?.

Definitely not a typo

Looking forward to the run of even cheaper R8s in the classifieds once various wives and girlfriends start asking questions.....

MikeS · August 2018

Since purchase all the info on the page has been removed, in fact the GG holding page has changed guitars. Luckily I take screen shots of everything prior and after purchase. Here's the specs prior to purchase.

That's a typo - the 2017 R8s have R9 neck profiles.

Fortheloveofguitar · August 2018

I'm keen on one of these now that a forum purchase has fallen through

I quite like a 50's profile les paul and i love a 60's neck so which one of these vos models should i be looking at profile wise? I dont really understand a 58' profile though my Joe Perry custom is said to have a 59' profile

Advice would be much appreciated

thanks

yes I'd like to know that as I get confused with then and their terminology. I like a C profile which I think is standard for a led paul ? Is that a 60 or a 58 profile ?

This has been a pretty interesting thread to watch, it just shows what discount or rather a price point needs to be to get punters digging in their wallets. I'd bet that never in the recent history of Uk Gibson sales have so many been sold in a week before. Just proves that they have been too expensive for some time now in the eyes of the buyer.
Personally when 'custom shop' guitars were in the £1800-2500 price range I bought a hell of a lot. Now those same sort of guitars have gone into the £3200-£5000 price range my wallet has retreated. I have the money, but that's not the point. For me £2500 is a bit of a mental barrier, especially where a bolt on neck instrument is concerned like Fender.
I'm sure this has been an interesting exercise for the dealers and Gibson too. So who has been taking the hit on margins guys?

Gonna kill the used market

Used R8 price is now officially £1650 for a mint condition model. My Les Paul Standard is probably worth around £600 if I am lucky

(I even looked at a Les Paul bass online today ffs!)

I’m grateful for the free advertising that Luke from GG gave me on their Facebook live stream page today. I would go back with something witty but I’ve been too busy selling amazing guitars to you lot!

Howdy, Stranger!
