I've gone a bit crazy lately on the guitar front and will have to trade/sell a couple of instruments, along with some other stuff, to pay her off--but man, it's worth it. VOS R8, 8.2 lbs, super lively/resonant. And what a looker!

You could also call it "on lay awake. Because you'll be spending some sleepless nights dreaming of that one. Such a gorgeous guitar, Congratulations Jon.

Goodbye Black Falcon I never play! Goodbye, Nash Tele (you, I'll miss). Goodbye Z-28!

Congrats Jon, and be sure to give us a tone report when you get your hands on it!

Sweet, Jon. You can always replace the gear you've got on the block, but getting something special like this is rare.

That was my thought. It's a toss-up between the Nash, which is pretty great, and one of my Strats, ditto. I hate to let go of the Black Falcon but mostly because it's just so freaking cool looking--I don't like the roller bridge, the pickups are just okay and the Bigsby is basically unusable as it throws the whole thing hopelessly out of tune. The '28 is a great amp, but it's gathering dust at the moment--my attention being divided (weirdly) between the EZG and the M12. Plus I've got a lot of surplus pedalage sitting around. So, time to stir the pot a little, maybe. And yeah--you see some nice tops, and you see some light Lesters, but it's rare to find a light one with a great top that isn't selling for some ridiculous upcharge. I already have an R8 (LaWonda!) which isn't going anywhere--this will be a nice companion.

Your killing me! I've been this close to pulling the trigger on an R8 ever since I gave my son my Les Paul. That one is a real looker!

Thanks, Ron. It's a particularly good photo, I have to say--they got the lighting just right and it really made the flame jump. I suspect it's probably a bit less dramatic in normal room lighting. Still, though--a pretty good one. I'll def give a little NGD report once I get her home.
