Two Historics for sale R0, R9 Monsters
So long story short I, like many have done a fair bit of gear juggling over the years and I'm really trying to settle my rig, and my finances...i just picked up a great R9 about 1 hour ago on this forum, but now I have to release into the wild two MONSTER guitars. I bought both of them from Mark's Guitar Loft over the last two years. Both of these guitars are listed on ebay right now...id be willing to listen to reasonable offers to sell them here....these are great guitars and I can't give them away...i'm not that desperate but I'm listening...
 50th '09 R9 Sunrise Bourbonburst, super, super clean: ebay item 220862876016 asking $4850.00. Comes with Lifton...or if you prefer I have a Gibson USA Tweed case with the bright aqua blue plush interior (just like the Music Machine cases that shipped with the stingers...except instead of the custom shop logo it says Gibson USA...100% rare, genuine case...you may prefer it to the Lifton which isn't considered the sturdiest case in the world)  Alternate Case option: Gibson USA Custom case. Tweed tolex with crushed velvet aqua blue interior   R0 '08 Tone Monster Washed Cherry, wide flame ebay item: 220865276399 asking $3899.99 will ship with Black Custom Shop Case paperwork, COA etc...

Re: Two Historics for sale R0, R9 Monsters
Well that '04 R9 you scored was a deal for sure and a great looker, but that 50th Anniv above...
 I don't know how you can let it go. Wish I needed yet another, I like that one!

Re: Two Historics for sale R0, R9 Monsters
Would you consider letting go of that tweed USA case?

Re: Two Historics for sale R0, R9 Monsters
If you sell the guitar in the tweed case, I may be interested in buying the Lifton if you're willing to let it go. Feel free to PM me when the dust settles on your deal if you're interested.

Re: Two Historics for sale R0, R9 Monsters
I will trade you my 99 Gibson Lifton for the tweed/blue case(Obviously R6 not included lol). It is in dead mint condition. I'm in Jersey. Maybe we could meet half way, although shipping would not be a problem either. Let me know, ok. PM me or email at floyd84@verizon.net
