I have a collector friend who ironically doesn’t play guitar, but has several nice Gibson’s he bought in the late 90’s/early 2000’s. This is one of them, a R8 2001 model with an insane flamed top. I can buy it for around $3700 which is not a steal, but considering this top seems like a great deal. The guitar has literally never been played and sitting in a vault for 20 years. Original strings still on it a little oxidation on the frets, and the board is a little dry, but I can fix both of those issues quickly. Some have suggested the color is ‘Amber’ some say ‘Butterscotch’ - what do you guys think?
