From the pics I've seen the tops don't seem to be any better than other R9s. Big deal... I can buy a wireless ABR and put it on my 03R9 and I'm there and mine has Brazilian. I'd love to see a top in the class of the 03 R9s too, haven't seen it yet. For me, I think Gibson has blown a BIG CHANCE to make the closest 59 burst replica. Looks like a regular Guitar Center R9 to me. I ain't bummed though, should keep the value of my rigs going up.
