So is that the end of the R8 deal or are there more to come...?

Some guys at Epsom GG told me, this morning, they have some more washed cherry on the way BUT they're pretty much accounted for with back orders etc...

So where did all the talk of Peach & Coda getting a fresh delivery at the tail end of last week come from?

Ours will just be replacements for the ones that we backed due to faults and marks etc

So already sold?

No. It’s all a bit up in the air as to whether we’ll get credits or replacement guitars for the ones that arrived faulty. That’s why we haven’t started taking orders and promising customers when we might not be able to be deliver. I will know this week though

Thank you for the response. I’m keen on an Ice tea or filthy lemon should any become available

So, two things.

Firstly, is there really nobody who got carried away and bought one, only to have a change of heart and decide to return it?

And secondly, is anyone else feeling a little bit sad about taking the Gibson Custom sticker off the pickguard??

I think you'll be on your own with that one.

I think you're probably right! :-)

Mine's still on there and will likely stay for a while. Fuck it, nobody else is seeing it. Not like I'll ever gig it.

Ha, only because I don't have a band, fella. I'll probably take it for a jam with my mate one day, with any luck :-)

When it comes off, that's when it genuinely belongs to you, right?

Or a fretboard jam? I'm taking mine to the Leicester and Huddersfield hams, where I fully expect @pmbomb to need Kleenex once he's had a go

The ‘sticker’ isn’t sticky, it can be peeled off and reattached as you wish.

Brize · September 2018

Those stickers peel off and can be put back on easily - just keep them inside the COA booklet.

Schnozz · September 2018

Worrying about the re-sale already? Slight nick and "that'll be £200"...

Not a bad shout, hoping there'll be one closer to home, one day.

S' ok I've moved an and am now avidly hunting down a Hello Kitty Strat.**

The best thing is to reattach it over the serial number.

After a number of years the ‘only’ way to remove it will be to use something so sharp that it renders the number illegible - giving you ‘true’ vintage mojo....

You can have 10 of them for that!

I'll take the lot.

A few times I have thought why the hell did a buy this when I should have bought the PRS 594 Singlecut that I keep drooling over.

But then one of two things happens, I pick it up and play it, or remind myself the PRS I want is £4k

I will continue to keep an eye out for my old original run PRS SC250 Satin in Vintage Natural, with 10 top and birds, that I really shouldn’t have sold around 6 years ago though.

Mark has had this one for a bit

Cheers, but not quite right as no birds or satin finish.

Jonathanthomas83 · September 2018

Each to their own, I guess, but after playing this guitar for the best part of 4 days now, and with quite a bit of experience with PRS guitars, I'd not swap it. Don't get me wrong, they're both awesome at what they do, but this Gibson is what I've been searching for. As said, each to their own.

Twinfan · September 2018

Yep, they're different beats. Owning both is the way to go

Ha, I agree.

Voxman · September 2018

Lousy timing. I'd love a new R8 but until our big building project at home is done and I can sell an investment property I don't have the funds, so missed the boat. Ah well.

Jonathanthomas83 · September 2018

Looks like we're getting some movement on some returns!!! Buyers remorse, maybe?

terada · September 2018

Well I ended up taking my one back. The one I got looked and played superb, but was a little darker than I was hoping with my set up. Bet it would have sounded great through a silver or blackface fender.

Anyway, for those who are looking for an R8 that is a lightweight 8lb10oz, and that feels superb to play, I'm sure it will be up for sale again soon at Peach.

Howdy, Stranger!
