I believe "Pre-Sold Limited" PSL were dealer runs at Eddie's and Wildwood, with underwound CustomBuckers...

If you like a particular guitar and its specs, then good to go.

There is no overriding factor on any particular dealer Reissue that will endure in the long run [maybe the Stinger Series... but not today's ample dealer runs], so just but a guitar you love.

For example -- I happen to love my CME-spec R9, although I've seen many times folks disregard them because they have 'CME' inked on the headstock.

C'est La Vie!

Although I have a 2020 Daves Guitar R8 run of 8

Neck profile more like R9

unpotted Zebras

Void of R8 stamp in cavity

Standard tall narrow frets

No pick guard

The neck profile is definitely a resale issue for a experienced R8 buyer = Will smith caution with special runs !

I really like this R8 and have a selection of Historic neck profiles to choose from - there's room for all !
