    I have been having a 'mare with Imgur this morning. **Edit - Pics below**

    Very very impressed. I would say it's a little bit lighter than my R7 (which is 8lb 8oz). Resonant and lively to play. It's not a very figured top (which mine was a "figured" washed cherry. However, it is kinda what I was hoping for as I much prefer plain tops that have a few interesting bits!)

    I'll do a video later on today maybe...

    In the grand scheme of things it doesn’t matter, but it would have been nice if they included a strap and truss rod tool in the case.

    (the other new Gibson I bought a few weeks ago were supplied with them)

    I have surprised myself by removing the scratchplate and then putting it back on again as I think it actually does look better with it!  

    Or at least it annoys me much less than having two screw holes.

    and mine also says R8 in the control cavity and the checklist is dated 31st January 2017

    Interesting - I thought Gibson had stopped supplying truss rod tools years ago...

    Really? I think yours is one of the nicest I've seen. I'm not a lover of cherry finish usually but that one has just the right amount of blush. Beautiful looking guitar.

    After 47 pages I want one even to the point of accepting it would mean moving on my beloved Vermilion LP. Bastards.

    I'll raise you deal or no deal, and put my as yet unseen top in box 15 ;)

    Oh boo! How the hell did that happen? 

    I assume a replacement will find it's way to you

    I wonder if they attached it during setup to make it easier to check over and forgot to remove it and put back in the pocket - there is a reason they tend to take these off when shipping... the True Historic plastics are especially fragile, apparently.

    Have contacted Peach and I'm sure they'll make it right!

    Indeed, but the guitar just feels incomplete without it! :)
