Even more perplexing is I never see them out in the wild even though I know many here use them in their local. I see a huge range of gear out there from pawn shop stuff to vintage gems to high dollar boutiques, but I'll be damned if I'm not the last guy I can remember gigging a historic Les Paul?
THIS times a billion. I've run into so many bands on tour over the years, and I can not recall a single instance where the guitar player had an R ANYTHING.
I would love to have that conversation. "Oh shit, you've got an R7, lemme check that thing out. Oh this, yeah it's my 2007 R8, I've got OX4's in it. Damn, you've put some miles on this thing. Sounds great."
Never.
I've said it before, a lot of younger bands, if there's guitar involved at all, are playing Fenders. Esp. offsets.
