    It's interesting reading peoples thoughts on the custom buckers, the ones in my R8 sound amazing. Exactly how I'd expect a 58/59 to sound in fact, it's just a proper Les Paul and different to my standard which has stock 490/498s in. Hands down it's the best one I've ever heard or played for real in person, with the caveat I've not played loads plugged in. I don't have a lot of reference on pickups either but I'm more than happy that being said.

    My head said brake, but my heart cried never.

    I've always liked them in the LPs I've tried that had them. 

    They get a lot of hate on the MyLP forum, but then there's often no pleasing those guys...

    I've found they vary a lot, just like PAFs did.  I like them in my R8 and other R9.

    @terada what is the weight of the Washed Cherry you have chosen?

    When I was looking at them they ranged from 8lb 5oz to 9lb 2.5oz

    I've gone for one of the heavier ones at 9lb 1.5oz
    I went for one at the lighter end, 8lb 8oz. when I looked there was a stonkingly beautiful one that weighed in at 8lb 15.5oz. A proper stunner, but the weight makes a difference for me. 
    Excellent!  I've got a R9 that's just under 8lbs so thought I'd go for ones.
    87114?
    That's the one, can't wait to see it in the flesh.

    Did you go for one of the flamey ones?
    That was a very nice one indeed - when is it getting delivered?

    I went for one with a medium amount of flame, and quite tight vertical grain.

    I was really struggling to pick between the one I went for and the heavier one which had an incredible top!

    Hahaha, there is definitely no pleasing some of them on MLP!

    Yep, I've had good one and bad ones. A common complaint about recent Custom Buckers is that they sound too toppy and harsh.

    I've not had a delivery time from Peach yet, I guess it depends on which day they send guitars out for delivery.

    I know what you mean about struggling to decide.  I've already got a flamey R9 so was thinking plain top, but got lured in by the nice flame tops.  So I went for a compromise with a more subtle flame.

    Mine is from the first VOS batch a few months back. Was tempted again for a gloss but I bought the Axcess yesterday and 4 les Paul’s will do for the moment lol

    The remaining cherry (8) and iced tea (2) guitars are up on Peach's site with individual pics and weights.

    I assume the dirty lemon and faded tobacco lists are still under consideration by those folks with a pre-order.

    I can only see 1 of each. Do you have a link? (Just window shopping... Xmas has exhausted my funds!)

    I let my R8 go and really regret it now. 

    If Peach had the finance offers on I think I would be back in for one.

    Anyone got one they want to trade for a 64ri 345 with Maestro?

    Fair enough! I doubt there will be many lemons, but surely a couple of tobaccos will surface?
