As I mentioned before, I had a Lemon R8 on here a few years ago in great nick for £1700, and didn't get a sniff- it eventually sold on Reverb, and the buyer immediately tried to flip it on here for £2200, and got nowhere.

Nobody's making money on these, guys!

Some ongoing (and probably long term) wrist damage means my Iced Tea is now in the classifieds - along with my 75 Tele and my R4....

Bless ya mate, get well soon.

Loving the photos @terada. Just great. That R9 still does it for me. Lovely top and such a nice tone of dirty lemon.

Thanks @hyperben. The R9 has a much darker finish than the R8, Hard to believe they are both lemon really.

Amazing how they vary so much. I originally had an R8 in DL from Peach with a crazy flame, but the colour was just so luminous! It was garish and made me feel sick to look at it so I returned it. Your R9 (and mine) have that much tastier and vintage looking DL tone. Just love it!

Seeing all of those together makes me glad I went for the Washed Cherry. (Just my opinion etc etc). Funny, as I've never been a cherry lover, much preferring a tobacco or desert burst usually. Through some twist of fate (or I just don't like what I think I like and like what I think I don't, IYSWIM

) both of my Les Pauls are Cherry - one HDC and one WC.

I think the washed cherries are great. Not sure why they don’t get as much love. Not as keen on them with too plain a top though. They look amazing with flame!

I really enjoy how everyone looks for something different. For me, I love a nice plaintop cherry, while tobacco just doesn't really do it for me in person (but love it in pictures - weird).

I also think the real colours of WC are often misrepresented in store pics. In person I find the burst far more subtle, with multiple levels of depth in the cherry parts.

Guys take your fucking arguments to Facebook or some other website that isn't trying to put a lid on being a dick.

Just watched that twice. She really has amazing control. That was excellent.

JackieB33 · October 2018

Guys.. I’m sorry, shouldn’t have rose to it.

If there’s one thing to take away from this it’s this:
If a dickhead chimes in with half a story.. later contradicts himself by disclosing the full story.. then has his arse fall out.. don’t take him on. Just let him remain a bitter bystander.. and carry on selling your beloved gear at justifiably fair guide prices.

In the interest of disclosure: I accepted £2300 against my 2012 R8. Which.. with reference to the new price of that one, is a very very good price.
There’s a lovely 2017 in the classifieds for the same price. This also seems justified as they’re not new at £2500 anymore.

If you’re buying.. then buy the best that you can afford. And if you don’t like the price tag on something.. move along and find something with a price tag that suits you. Don’t use little snippets of bollocks from the internet to try and knock people down.. normal ‘non-dealer’ people selling in good faith.. and hopefully this karma will treat you well when you come to sell something yourself.

Now carry on drooling over those R8’s and R9’s.. if you’re here it’s cos you’ve got good taste.

I’m not very clued up at all on any of this. But the one on the far right looks absolutely amazing. Definitely my favourite. Nice subtle flame, beautiful “graduation” in the colour, not too dark, not too light and I’m never sure about the cherry bursts. If I can ever afford and justify a full on Les Paul then that’s the sort of one I picture in my head.

What colour is that? Iced Tea?

You say you shouldn't have risen to it then you call him a 'dickhead'?

Ffs man, grow up, let it go and stop trying to ruin an immensely popular and positive thread.

This shows an incredible lack of self awareness.

For the avoidance of doubt, it was your posts that led people to calling out rule 1 breaches...

Let's just move on eh?

Run into a lot of assholes in the course of a day, don't you?

The one on the right is a 2014 iced tea. Its an R8 with an R9 top, still has the fatter R8 neck. The best bit about it is the tone, it sounds much better than it looks
