### Notes 2011

1. Burstbucker vs. Custombucker: In 2011, it still had the Burstbucker BB1/BB2 pickups. They sound more aggressive and "attacking" than the more vintage Alnico III Custombuckers. which arrived in 2013.

2. VOS: The VOS finish isn't a heavy relic. It's just matte and slightly aged, as if the guitar had only been lightly used for two years.

3. Neck: The '58 has the fattest neck of the R8/R9/R0. Many call it a "baseball bat." 44f0
