My new TRIBURST R9

tom1965 · 03-02-2009, 06:05 PM

Hi guys new to this forum , just treated myself to a brand new R9 IN TRI BURST FINISH , never seen this finish on a Gibson till i bought it , was a bit unsure until i pulled it from the case , beautiful . Took a gamble , but it paid off as i bought it unseen , only saw a couple of digital pics that the shop e mailed me.Very pleased , my pics just dont do it justice im afraid , plays superb !!

That finish is more commonly found on '68 RI Customs..

Looks pretty cool on an R9. Congrats. I didn't like mine until the double whites went in there.

DAMN THATS SICK! Probabley will keep higher in value too because they are a bit rare. Sweet guitar bro play the hell out of that thing!

I love your guitar! I really like the thin burst band. I always knew that color could be cool and your guitar proves it!. More pics, please. Where'd you get it? Are there more?(I've seen them but they have a bad burst or BBQ flame or both. Your's suffers from neither) The color and flame are nice. If you ever wanna get rid of it......

Hi thanks for your comments , got it from a shop in Brighton many miles from where i live so got the guy in the shop to e mail me photos of it and a tobacco burst , they may have another couple , not sure though . Place is called guitar amp and keyboard , google GAK and you should get their on line shop , they advertise in Guitarist mag. This model is called a 59 reissue ltd , believe its a short run on the colour. Incidently i've seen this guitar advertised in several ads for as much as £1400 to £2000 more than i got it for , well worth a good look round your options before splashing the cash .

tom1965 · 03-03-2009, 05:43 AM

just for you , heres another couple of pics

FUS44 · 03-03-2009, 08:35 PM
