Bitch, Moan, Carry On, if people do not like the price, don't buy one
now and wait for a used one down the road after the honeymoon.......

I don't care for these, but for those that like them, hope you find a nice one......

The originals varied and there is no way anyone can copy the exact top,
So an alternative is find a new or used R9 close and don't worry about
the name of an original that is unique anyway.......

Too much of trying to keep up with the Jones.......

Love, Hate, Fear, Greed, all the bases are covered here on the forum.......

The first one, IMHO...

Sharky · 08-04-2012, 02:52 AM

the few Sandys I have seen so far have gorgeous tops. Just the right flame/grain/color combination to give me huge GAS

I agree.Every one I've seen so far have been stunning.This one will sell out quick.What a great playing,looking and sounding guitar.

They should use some of the money they've made off of you to rent a carpet cleaner. That's gross.

mfolet · 08-04-2012, 08:40 AM

Alot of history on that floor.

Michael are you sure? I have seen several that have tops that do not come close to the original Sandy in any way, shape or form. The tops will more than likely be all over the place as per usual.

Cheers, Rudi

pinefd · 08-04-2012, 08:54 AM

^^^ Rudi, I agree that there have been some tops that are nothing like Sandy, but some of those have been stunning nonetheless. It's funny, because ordinarily I'd want to buy one of those in a heartbeat because they're so nice, but because they're supposed to be copies of Sandy, but don't look like (her), I'm less interested.

Agree Frank. I love a great Lemonburst & a nice top but the whole Sandy thing just makes this well........

.........

..........a copy!

But if it works for some or many, great.

Cheers, Rudi

The tops are different on each and some are more 3D than others but they all have the same Sandy ish figure to them.
They are all stunning regardless of how strong the figure is.The color is great.
They play and sound great as well.
You have to see these in person as this kind of top is real hard to photograph as they really are.

fretnot · 08-04-2012, 04:13 PM

Not interested in Sandy, but I hope those who get one enjoy it.

Exactly, the same thing I was thinking. Beautiful guitar though.

mfolet · 08-04-2012, 07:52 PM

The necks on these are perfect for me.

I can just imagine, trying to get a great photo is not always easy on these tops.

Michael, you are certainly lucky being close to

........the store I shall not mention, unless they pay me an advertising fee........

I know I keep winding you up about this but in reality if I lived near you, it would be a major struggle to see who could get through that bloody door first, when the store opened in the morning.

Cheers, Rudi

LauriPaul · 08-04-2012, 08:21 PM

Lol there will be a lot of folks out there that will misstake this guitar with an AFD.. And sincerely, the only CC that turn me on is the Goldie, I feel like Marv when I see one

Looks like everyone is lined up to get some Sandy.......

The sheeple can't wait any longer.......

RAG7890 · 08-05-2012, 04:36 AM

ROFLMAO.

Too funny Tommy.

Cheers, Rudi

alex.p · 08-05-2012, 08:54 AM

Gorgeous looking tops (thanks for posting Michael), if it came without the pickguard screwed in already I'd probably jump all over one.

But instead will just keep trying to find an R8 or R9 with a top like that

tuco · 08-05-2012, 09:46 AM

Interesting guitar. I'm trying to find out more about them and what makes them unique. I have started my search for a new les paul and was thinking about an early 2000's brazilian but I like these also.

mfolet · 08-05-2012, 10:37 AM

I picked this one....#31
The boards are a nice dark chocolate like theCC#2 Goldies and CC#1s.Solid boards perhaps.They don't look like the boards that are on everything else.
I really like the way these look and feel.I can't wait to plug her into my gear.

My condolences......They must have seen you coming......

Just kidding man, that one is a knockout......Can't wait to see better pictures.....

that's nice one. I agree that the tops must be seen in person, even seeing hi res pics on other sites of the actual guitar, it's very hard to go on photos alone. Happy NGD...
