Ironman1536 Posted August 9, 2008 Share 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.

Silverbursted Posted August 10, 2008 Share 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.
