Have had this in my possession for a week but just paid the remainder today, put my strings on it, did my setup etc, seems real now, and posting here is the final seal of the deal.
2018 R7.
Never thought I'd really own one of these but now I do.
I know I'm going to get a ribbing, so before it starts I'll do it myself. Sounds just like a 335.
Nice! Is it worth the extra expense over a standard or trad or what have you?
1935 Martin D-45, 1942 Gibson Southern Jumbo,1950 Fender Broadcaster, 1954 Fender Strat, 1958 Gibson Moderne prototype, 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard.
1958 Fender twin, 1965 Vox AC30, 1966 Marshall JTM 45, 1977 Dumble OD Special.
Big black garbage bag full of original Klon Centaurs and TS808s.

Shouldn't these things be stinky, dirty and appear to be falling to bits? I thought only then it would be liked by forum people, right?
It's got a few knocks and dings having been the main player of it's previous owner, but thankfully not stinky or falling to bits. Smells Gibsony.

This is a bonus. Imagine the stress of gigging an immaculate guitar!
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

That's subjective I guess. It's more vintage accurate, non weight relieved, has a few subtle differences to those models. But whether those differences are worth the extra money is up to the person spending the money. It's certainly the most I've spent on a guitar, but somebody here on this forum said 'don't think of the money as gone, just invested somewhere else' (or something like that), so that helped me justify it.

Yeah I'm stressed enough as it is, lol. I was anxious just picking it up at first, but getting used to having it and starting to enjoy it more.

I genuinely don't choose guitars with my eyes anymore and I generally don't get on with Les Pauls. But every Lester I've fallen for has been an R7. Can't figure that out.
Happy Awesome New Guitar Day Cam.
