Some '07 R9 Pics... Why?... No reason...

jimmyq · 10-25-2009, 02:52 PM

As I mentioned over in the 'real checking' thread in the vintage section, it was a sunny ('ish) day today over here in good ol' blighty.

So, before my Sunday afternoon ju-jitsu session, I took a few snaps. I haven't posted pics of this one in nearly a year, so I thought perhaps you guys might enjoy some updated snaps...

'07 R9 (Gloss) with pigtail 50's replica bridge and tailpiece, RS 50's wiring kit and Wolfetone Dr. V aged pickups...

A few more, for good measure...

You really can't beat a bit of flame and some good sunlight for photography...

Gorgeous!

Is that a faded tobacco?

I'd hit that

This finish tends to get referred to as Darkburst, but yeah, I think Gibson would probably call it faded tobacco.

Darkburst is probably a better name with the tobacco laws and such... Very nice guitar!

Beautiful guitar, love the gloss finish and the hardware looks great.

^^^That's gorgeous! Isn't (or wasn't) that Charlie Daughtry's guitar?

...and yours is a beauty too, Jimmy!

Hey Frank...it was mine, and is mine again.

So, Charlie did have it for a while? Or is his a different one than I'm thinking of?

Either way, that one's absolutely killer! One of the nicest I've ever seen. Question, though...how does the lemonburst color of that one look in person. My '07 R9 lemon (Lemonster) has a somewhat greenish tint to it in some light that I'm not all that fond of. In fact, I plan to get it refinished some day. I hear the lemonbursts for '09 are somewhat more amber in color (with no greenish hue)...much more pleasing to the eye (to my eye, at least).
