I'm going to be in the minority here, but I'd say go with the Custom. Well... what I'd really say is go with whichever plays better (if you can play them first). But I've owned several R guitars, and one Custom (68RI, so it's technically a Historic), and I think the tonal difference amongst R...
There's quite a bit of clipping going on when I'm running the MV that high - not sure if that affects the output?
Interesting, I thought you could just add speaker wattages in a cab together, and the total is what matters since everything is wired up together (this sounds wrong as I type it...
If I have the MV never further than 2/3 o'clock, am I OK? Or is this a bad idea?
I'm sick of lugging my 4x12 around - and I want a V30/H30 (70th anniv.) in a 2x12. I'm not sure, but I also think one of the V30 variations is 65w or 70w? Don't recall which though.

I should mention I haven't personally had any work done by him (aside from a set of PAF replicas), but he's done quite a few builds for major touring artists. And you can see the quality of his work on his page, he posts plenty of shots -...

Right next to the $4K customs. A few other sig guitars listed there for around $5K too. So I suppose that's the normal price.
It's hype that drives the price (just like most Gibsons tbh). New LP customs are what? $4K at most? And that's already a tad overpriced, so yeah this at $8K is for collectors. Or players who have the cash to spare.
I haven't played a BB or Afwayu, but I had a Motor City Dragon Suit in my R7's bridge. And it slayed. Only reason I sold the guitar was because the neck was so frickin' huge. It was an '01 R7, and it demolished the '16 R8 I had around the same time.
