For the money you spend on a new VOS, buy a used Historic 59 RI. The real truth is if you can play, it doesnt matter

OK, first of all where in the hell are you buying $2500 used R9's?????
Please point me in that direction.....

Secondly, VOS is NOT a model.......just a finish on a model...the model here is the Historic or the Re-issue which are the same model.
In the historic line (or re-issue) there is only two options......glossy or VOS.

I don't mean to jump on you here, this is just a pet peeve of mine.
