    I’m gonna get into trouble from the purists for this but sod it 

    Thrown a Suhr Doug Aldrich I had lying around  in the bridge and now we’re taking. Right up my street and a huge smile on my face when I struck the first chord. 

    Will this get me banned from the thread 


    You are the real reason Peach left

    Just not my thing. I prefer more modern specs I think. It's a pretty light iced tea.

    Fair one. This R8 has turned my tastes right on their head...I was one for modern appointments before this too, but I prefer it in every way so I sold the Standard.

    Weirdly, I prefer my freakishly good SG Standard and LP Tribute from 2017. Bizarre.

    As long as you’re playing what you love it just doesn’t matter. R8s aren’t for everyone.

    My previous LP attempts before last year were modern switching, all the bells and whistles things...then I got the '17 traditional, with no weight relief, no funky switches and a fat neck. It sounded like a Lester should. Straight away, no messing! 

    The R8 was the logical step from there with such a great deal. I've got other guitars that will produce the other sounds I like, but better than a tapped/ boosted / out of phase bucker in a LP.

    TL:DR? I've got my dream guitar, and I'm as happy as a pig in ...err...a pig whore house.

    Hopefully mine can meet some others at some point. Anyone taking theirs to the Quad jam? I’m itching to play with other people again to be honest. Been 10 years since I last played live or even jammed with anything other than a backing track.

    Thanks. Sounds fab but its too far for me I'm afraid. Looks full anyhow!

    Well up for bringing along an r8 to a future jam though

    Don't know where you are, but there's also a Huddersfield one in Feb and a West Country one in, I think, April. 

    They're great fun, and the huddersfield one also includes us playing a mini gig on the Saturday night, as it's a full weekend.

    I sold my 2016 standard since I got the R8. Ive upgraded the bridge pup as I like high output pups in the bridge but the neck is a keeper

    This R8 is everything I wanted in a les Paul and I couldn’t believe how inferior the 2016 felt once I got this
