    @terada well happy with it mate!

    It looks different/better in person than on the pictures, the finish is flawless with a nice dark rosewood fretboard.  The neck thickness is quite thin for a '59 which is perfect for me.

    I was a bit worried that it might be too heavy being one of the more heavy ones but it doesn't feel heavy at all.

    Most importantly it plays and sounds great, even unplugged the notes ring out clearly when playing chords.

    If I had enough funds I'd have bought 2 of them

    Great news - glad its everything you wanted!

    These are really great guitars, in a few years I think we'll all be pretty pleased getting them for this price.

    Thanks Terada, I hope yours is everything you are looking for also.

    Congrats man, hope mine looks like that , I will be more than happy 
    Fingers crossed for you mate!  Let me know what you think when you get yours!

    I just pulled the trigger on 871297 .Not flamey at all but it was the lightest of the batch. Were you the first in line for the lemons?
    How light was it?
    8lbs 7oz

    It seems to be picking up mass by the second.

    Stunning. I remember seeing that one in the list and thinking it looked great, you're pics have more than confirmed it - looks better than in the peach pic to me. Congrats

    Thanks Terada.  I was slightly nervous waiting for it to arrive wondering what it looked like in the flesh.  It's not easy to capture the whole vibe of a guitar by a couple of pictures, but was pleasantly surprised as soon as I opened the case.

    When is yours due to arrive ?

    I've been away so have had to postpone picking it up. Hopefully I'll get it in a couple of weeks :o

    That’s a shame. If only you had another to play in the meantime ;)

    They've all been worth the wait so far ;) (I appear to be something of a serial R8'er)

    Ha! Its been a real ride this thread, great fun. You're pretty much there, although only 2 2017s at the moment, an R8 and a R9. 

    shed loads have been through my hands though.

    I would have already bought it but the colour mismatch on the join bugs. Must be the same for others too otherwise it would already be gone

    The mismatch is vintage accurate though... definitely makes it look like an older guitar...

    For £2500 it needs to be right and I’d always be looking at it
