Ironman1536 Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 So I decided to give my somewhat new R8 a photoshoot today I actually noticed when taking the pictures that my strings were colored at the ends like d'addarios but I bought the guitar new like just 2 months ago and I figured GIbson vintage strings were on their.
FennRx Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 very nice! i love the flat sawn grain on the sides. awesome!
Ricky330 Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 Gorgeous! You sure those strings aren't as you say? They look like 'em! The store may have replaced them.
Thundergod Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 Beautiful! Congratulations you have one awesome guitar. Thats exactly what we need... more pics of beautiful guitars!
HeadCase Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 Nice one! R8s rule!! My recent R8 has those strings too. We're not the only ones, other people are getting them from Gibson also. P.S. Loose the sticker before these guys start yelling.
surfpup Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 Maybe they come form the same factory as the D'Addarios! (insert feigned surprise here).
stryker69 Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 she's sweeeet!!!! those are definately d'addario strings!
pd1030 Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 Man, I love the R8, subtle and beautiful...A librarian type with the glasses on and then......

daveinspain Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 Hey VA_sickboy... I never really liked a three pickup Lester or for that matter a silver burst but that les Paul in your avatar is beautiful!!! You have more pics of it?
Silverbursted Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 Nice one! R8s rule!!My recent R8 has those strings too. We're not the only ones' date=' other people are getting them [i']from[/i] Gibson also. P.S. Loose the sticker before these guys start yelling. Ha!!! I was just going to say something about that. Very nice plain top. I bet she sounds awesome. she's sweeeet!!!! those are definately d'addario strings! I don't know where you purchased her from, but I can attest from personal observation, that GC will restring with just about anything they have available. IMHO, if a licensed dealer replaces strings while the guitar is in their shop, they should be required to put on what came off (Brites, Vintage etc.). I realize strings are the cheapest part of a guitar, but I do have certain expectations that the guitar will come to me in factory spec. You could be making a future string decision based on bad poop. I've also seen them replace a 500k tone pot with a 250k!!! Tell me that won't screw your sound. Things that just make you say Hmmm.
GuitarEnZo12 Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 Sweet! That's what I get in 51 Days!!! Beautiful!
