Saw this new, "offset series," and had to have one. Ordered from Willcutt Guitars who did a great setup. Feels, plays and looks great. Sounds good too though I'll probably upgrade the electronics. Very fun to play! Fender Mexico is making some nice guitars these days :hank

Came across these the other day. I think its a wonderful idea to get kids not only into learning an instrument, but making their own music. 3 strings (especially open, DAD, or something) would really make it easy for a kid to get excited about making his or her own music and not just learning...

Hey guys, I sent one of my R8s in for the full package from Historic Makeovers, about a month ago. I had been curious bout HM for a while, and after selling some stuff and getting funds together for a new purchase, I decided to send one of my LPs to Kim instead. Should be done by the end of...

Hey guys, apologies if this is in the wrong section, but I wasn't sure where to post and I will be installing this on a Historic. Feel free to move if necessary! I ordered this Bigsby B7 and upon receiving it today I was surprised to see that the Patent and No were not black like the one...

My first R9. Ordered from Dave's Guitar Shop (thanks guys!). My first time purchasing a gloss Historic. Its a bit too shiny and new, but will break it in soon :hank Weighs in at 8.4 lbs. My cat Henry likes to photobomb me when I shoot guitars :-)

I wasn't necessarily in the market for another R8, but I absolutely loved the look of this one. Lots of flame for an R8 and I've been hankering for a darkburst lately. Ordered it on online, so was a little worried about how I'd like it in person, but I'm really happy with the neck and feel of...

Sorry if this is in the wrong section, but I figured it would be best since I need the historic tuner, that is, without the wider base shaft like the later gibson/grover tuners. I knocked one of my bass side tuners on my C7 and its very tight and hard to turn now. The other tuners are all...

Just got Throbak Pre-T-301s put in my '87 SG Standard and wanted to show it off. Callaham bridge and tail. The neck on this one is nice and fat (for an SG).

Hello everyone. My guitar repairman told me that recently Gibson changed who makes their tuners, and they are now made in China. I have a '14 R8 and I ordered Vintage Haven tips for it. Although the tuners work perfectly now, I'd rather install them on better tuners that will last. I have a set...

Hello all, I'm a brand new member, just signed up today. Wanna show off my 2014 R8 I got a few months ago. I'm all finished with it now (I think!). Gibson calls the color lemonburst, but by Beauty of the Burst standards, I think it would be a honeyburst that has almost faded to lemon drop...
