    Just one tobacco left, and it looks good...


    @fortheloveofguitar 



    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 
    It would bug me as well but I suspect that it looks different at other angles, just as the flame tops alter with the viewing angle and it’s just Peach rushing with so many to photograph that they didn’t get the best angle.  
    my trading feedback

    The R8 thread was one of the reasons I had a custom build ;)

    I saw the original iPhone shots before the studio pics from a couple of angles and it actually looked worse

    I’m quite relieved. The temptation to buy another was strong, but I resisted.

    Lets see some pics of the new bunch!

    Not over yet.  There will be some returns.  @Ossyrocks ought to avoid the Peach website for a couple of weeks.

    I've been following the thread on and off since last August, I'm guessing that you're on number 3
    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.
    Awesome! Been through quite a few myself and currently have 3 custom shop les pauls.

    I'd like to say I'm done buying them but know I'd just be kidding myself lol

    I would have snapped that one up if it hadn’t been for the colour discrepancy on the top

    I believe it adds character , if you ever become famous you can call it “two face”

    That’s right - and Gibson Custom would later be forced to duplicate the look on every edition of your signature Collector’s Choice model...

    But if it doesn't do it for you, you'll only end up moving it on. I think @Fortheloveofguitar has made the right choice on this one - and that's coming from me :o ;)

    My superlight R8 is a "two-face" - I'd much rather have something with character  :)

    Only seen mine from page 140 links so far.  Would also like to see other photos other than the Peach ones they sent out.

    Done a lot of recording the past few weeks but had my first rehearsal last night with the new pups. Bloody perfect. Can't stress how much I love this guitar

    It certainly looks great.

    And the best part is that it even sounds better!!

    I am really digging the finish and paint job. It has quite a bit more red than previous Tobacco Sunbursts I´ve owned and it sometimes looks like a Bourbon Burst/Dark Burst, with just a hint of the final black usually seen on Tobacco Bursts.
