Feeler: Gibson Historic R8 VOS Iced Tea

[kelv_w]

Contemplating on selling my R8 or keeping it. It has a really dark rosewood fingerboard and plays smooth.
However I've got my eye on a GoldTop, can't justify keeping too many guitars.
May consider at £1850



It's the one on the right. :P

Wowsers! That is all.

Great price! GLWS you shouldn't need it

That is a nice guitar you have their man.. I too know the feelings of wanting something else, and in the past I have sold guitars to get something else, I try not to do that now, as I have regretted it on 2 occasions lol, I would rather have that R8 than a gold-top, gold-tops are nice, but I like what you have better, and a gold-top is still going to be similar playing wise to what u already have ?, I would keep it if i were you, I have seen a few of them on ebay for over 2k, so £1850 is a great price

Thanks for the advice Dezzy, I'm still thinking about it. However I was eyeing the R7 GoldTop Slightly Aged (I know it's a subjective matter) you were right, it actually didn't feel that different to the R8.
It's just one of those moments, but GAS is gas man...

I know only to well how Gas operates LoL, I too have it every-time I see A strat, but I now have the will power to say NO ha ha, I had my Les Paul out today, and it's a Joy to play, have it set up just right, good luck

Have you done a Peter Green mod with that pick up flipped etc?
