:2cool Looks similar to mine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmMeDi-KWg4

Interesting: The top wrapping. Does this influence the sound significantly? :hmm

So many of these 01 R8's look related, it's uncanny.
My R8 CA 2001, and she sings like a bird...

Here's my '01 CA in Lemondrop. I love the beefy neck on this guitar and am very partial to Grovers so this suits me perfectly.

 

[58Lover]

Oh, SNAP! That looks great! Really does look like she was made close to mine.

'01 R8 Custom Authentic...

The color of this one is outstanding!

 

[pist0lpete]

I asked in another thread but can't remember which. Who were some famous players sporting 58 model Les Pauls?

Joe Ganzler's Project X #2 (2001 R8) nicknamed "Lil D" before Joe had Terry remove condom and replace with Braz '61 LP/SG board and binding..pretty much KILLED ME when I had to sell it!
