The official 2001 R8 thread

[7thStar]

Fixed the broken link in my earlier post - my 2001 R8, now 14 years old (I edited this post in 2015) and still a fantastic instrument.

I am the original owner. Purchased form Bruce at Wildwood Guitars, Dec 2001.
Paid $3300.00. No modifications. Neck like a softball bat!

2001 (or '02, it's got a four digit s/n) bought used last year and my '98 purchased new
DiMarzio 36th Anniversary's in both - I like them and didn't want to break the bank.




I really need to take some better photos.

The one on the right....2001 Butterscotch flametop with great flame and grain.

Looks incredible, BUT it was a tone turd so it was sold for top dollar. :laugh2:

2001 R8 plaintop. Lovingly known as "The Freak" for its amazing tone...

I have a 2001 Honeyburst flamer R8. I'll post pics when I get a chance. Thick neck, but not as thick as my 2005 R7.

Just got the ‘Peter Green’ mod on my rhythm pickup.

New to the forum. Just picked up this 2001 R8 a couple of weeks ago. This is a n older thread but it seemed like an appropriate place to post a quick pic and say hello. After many years of playing guitar this is my first Les Paul, this one just "spoke" to me.

I had a 2001 briefly. It was just too clean and nice. Huge fat neck. Tight flame that was maybe too straight for me.
