Easily one of the nicest guitars I've seen in a while. That is my kind of flame, and the finish is stunning. But I have to echo what the other guy asked: What are the differences other than neck profile in this '58 vs. a '59?

That's absolutely killer, Matt. :wow


When this thread was started in 2007, I had one '58 RI to post (it has since flown the coop). I guess the '58 RI collection has since grown a bit:

2004 CR8

2007 CR8

2007 CR8

2014 R8

2017 R8

2007 CR8 (HM)

2014 R8 (HM)
