Plain top, eh? Should be a good sized neck on that guitar. I've been moving towards bigger necks lately myself. Hope it works out for you!

Sweet!! How
is the neck... big?? Most R8's seem to have a real nice chunky neck.
IMO, fat neck = fat tone.
Very cool!!

Damnit, JIm, I'm a gear historian, not a psychic!
I can't tell you how many times I was "done". Now I just laugh at the implications of ever having EVERY tone you want. There are so many to like. Hope you like your R8.

Nice looking guitar Jimmy! I wasn't able to view it on the link you sent me. Must be for your eyes only. "Don't touch it, it can't be played...no don't even look at it...that's enough of that one now..."

Thats a nice guitar, I suddenly have an afinity
for R8's.
My local GC has an Go/Ro from 07 and its beat up
with bad stand damage and they wount budge from
$3200
At that price only a complete idiot would buy it.
I guess thats what there hopeing for.
