[18 strings, 2 plain tops and a flamed top]

The one on the right is from a special run of '58 plain tops done for Eddie's Guitars in St. Louis. Several of the ones on Eddie's website have lighter FBs and some are darker. I liked the top on mine and it weighs 8 lbs. 4 oz. which is why I chose it. All things being equal, I probably would have had a slight preference for a darker FB. A non-issue for me.

Well, it just arrived . . . I'll unbox it soon and give a report . . . the Gibbie showed up a couple of hours ago and it's a keeper! btw, I have a Wildwood Spec Lester and it's da shizzle!

Stock market has been good to me lately, solved the "dilemma" and purchased both! Time for a cold 🍺

Okay, so Brother Bolero shamed me into looking at the Heritage offerings . . . I find this one really looking good to me:

I'm curious about H's choice of Lollar Imperial pups instead of the Seth Lovers H puts in the lower end 150s . . .

And this one's in the discussion:

Part of a special run for Eddies Guitars with a focus on lighter weight, great price for a CS guitar, I think.

I'm really drawn to the plain top R8 look.

Observations and flames requested. Looking forward to being at PSP in about a month!
