Very cute guitar. The flame on that is very distinctive - I really like the wider more psychedelic patterns - especially like the patch on the top bout above the bridge where the sequence goes out of sequence, as it were. Grain's pretty wild too!

Tell me about the neck shape. D or C? When you say bigger, got any measurements?

Bet you cant wait to get it playing how you like it!

Congratulations!

Liam

I would say its a D? I think its almost identical to the R7 I had and that was big... My last R9 had more of a C shape but it was a lot thinner, I think I wore away most of the nitro on it with my 4yrs of constant playing!

I can't wait to get home and rock out! Gonna put the Grovers on tonight and give it a set up.

My Skatters are that good I just wanted them in asap so now they are..the tone just smokes the BBs. A new set of 11s top wrapped and bit of relief and the guitar sounds so much better, just waiting to put on my old Grovers as soon as I get the chance.

I will try and do a vid tomorrow. Hope the neighbors our out because my Marshall L&B is SOOO loud it shakes the floor even when the volume is on 2.. its a gig amp and I usually wind it up at band practice. I have got a Marshall MG15FX thing for bedroom playing.....I can get decent tones of it...

Nice picking and nice tone!! Do I also hear a tele? (no not as in 'caster, but as in 'vision)


Another Grover hint: If you invert the washers so they are concave,they will not leave a circumference ring on your headstock.

Absolutely awesome, and weirdly similar to my Amalfitanos. Got that openness and clarity that so many PAFalikes lack. Going to have to try some one of these days.

I AGREE!!! Have a set of A2s on the way from Rod. Your clips and Dan's blues clips sold me.

Beautiful R9, and it went to a good home!

You can't go wrong with the A2s.. I just LOVE the tone! Rod has got the skills!
