Members Beergoblin Posted April 16, 2006 Members Share Posted April 16, 2006 This is probably common sense, but is the R8 in reference to a reissue of 1958 or is it something else entirely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Beergoblin Posted April 16, 2006 Author Members Share Posted April 16, 2006 Cool thx. One additional question, are there any large functional differences like neck shapes/pickups etc between them, or is it primarily finish differences etc?

Members bigconig Posted April 16, 2006 Members Share Posted April 16, 2006 Main differences between burst Reissues (current models) R8- Fat neck, Plain top, lowest price for burst reissues (smokin deal IMO, considering you can get them for a couple hundred more than MF charges for a regular standard) R9 - medium fat neck, figured top R0 - Slim taper neck, reflector knobs, figured top, double ring Kluson tuners.

You can still get an R6 and R7 gold top (as well as a bunch of other LP variations) I just listed some burst specs to keep it simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
