### 2011 Notes

1. Burstbucker vs Custombucker: In 2011, it still had Burstbucker BB1/BB2. They sound more aggressive and "sticky" compared to the more vintage Alnico III Custombuckers that arrived in 2013.

2. VOS: The VOS finish is not heavy relic. It's just matte and lightly aged, as if the guitar had 2 years of light use.

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