Tone machine
Good 3D quality to the sound. Fills a room. Hard to put this one down. VERY fat neck. Considerably larger than the 59 reissues.

I keep hedging on buying an R7, I have come close to buying a used one a few times and once I took out a line of credit at a samash to buy an R7 or R8 but chickened out because they were both on the heavy side at around 9lbs... how heavy is yours? I know there are 8.5ish ones out there, you just rarely bump into them in person where I live....


lucky bastard, maybe I oughta go thru a good dealer who will weigh them in for me, but they don't offer 0% interest financing for a year, nor can I play them 1st and for the kinda money a historic runs I feel picky about every detail

We've got a stellar dealer in Calgary who goes the extra mile on these sorts of things. I'm not sure about anything from 2015 onward though... I played 3 of the True Vintage models and had a hard time justifying the price. :(
