They made about 20 in 1995, and about 50 in 1996. In 1997 they started having reflectors, and later, double ring tuners.

They made 50 R8s in 1994. In 1993, they were all R9s or R7s....no one ordered a R0 in 1993 as far as I know.

The 1991-1993 prehistoric 1960 Flametop Reissues had a R6 stamp in one of the pickup cavities, not to be confused with the Historic 56 RI which has a R6 stamp in the control cavity.
