you wont be able to get one for 6k unless you have the right contacts, i'v been buying from my gibson dealer and i'd probably be able to screw him down to 6k from 8k.

my advice to you is get quotes from everyone and let them know that you arent just going to be going to them your going to be looking around, once you have quotes from a bunch of people go to them all and see who will work with you.

hay paul i was just wanted to ask you wat places R9s were for 6k kos thats about the same price as an R8 in australia
